That's like a girl I knew arguing about how effective her homeopathic medicine was.

"Because of those med, my flu only lasted a week!"

A flu is only supposed to last 5-7 days ffs.

[-] Carvex@lemmy.world 88 points 5 months ago

If homeopathic medicine worked, it would just be called medicine.

In the same vein:

Healthy and vaccinated people might see less than 3 days of very mild symptoms, if they notice at all.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

It also scares away the alligators.

Lisa, I would like to buy your rock.

You cannot reason someone out of something he or she was not reasoned into.

What do you mean? It was obvious Churchill.

“my kid was delayed reaching standard milestones bUt 😉”

morons

[-] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 49 points 5 months ago

We can infer that the parent is also... delayed.

[-] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 53 points 5 months ago

Is she implying what I think she's saying? If so dear god someone get that child OUT.

[-] Rooskie91@discuss.online 42 points 5 months ago

She's implying that her son has a large penis, right? Am I the only one that thought that after the 😉 and the "I mean EVERY WAY."?

[-] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago

Not just that but also mummy and son were doing the naked tango in bed.

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 10 points 5 months ago

I hope y'all are wrong and she's saying something else that's equally stupid but less incesty. But who the hell knows

I had chicken pox but my brother got the shot. Now I have the milestone of shingles and he never will yay

[-] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 5 months ago

I never got chicken pox or the shot because we couldn’t prove if my mom had it or was vaccinated as a kid. They thought maybe I was immune, and as a teenager did some testing. I’m not immune.

I’m soon to be 36 and absolutely terrified of it. Im too old to be vaccinated against it now so I just have to do everything I can to avoid exposure but it can literally kill me at this age.

I hate people who don’t vaccinate their kids. I didn’t have a choice because of missing medical records and risk to my mom. But to choose not to do so because of woo woo shit? Fuck you.

[-] BugKilla@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

I got chicken pox in my 30s, before a vaccine was available.

It's the only time in my life I considered becoming a pavement bollard by taking a dive from my 3rd floor apartment.

The pain was so bad that I ran a shower without the cold tap on until I passed out...for 2 days. Yes, I got hyperthermia, and was severely dehydrated but it was the only way the pain would stop.

Anti vaxxers are to be treated with contempt and mocked ceaselessly.

Note: I think you can get the vaccine at any age. Check with a reputable doctor or your local health authority.

Chicken pox vax was not a thing when I was little. I had to go stay with my grandparents when I got chicken pox cause my mom never had it

I got the shot and still got chicken pox later in life. I was the unlucky tiny percentage.

Get your shots people.

Huh. I reached the milestone their kid didn't get until the second grade at age 3. Despite being fully vaccinated.

[-] GrundlButter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 5 months ago

Your vaccines were activated by UHF radio waves, today's vaccines are activated by 5G, and are therefore more dangerous.

/s

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 14 points 5 months ago

Mine where activated by VHF but that advantage was offset by all the lead in the air

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

I'm sorry, when I see VHF, all I can hear in my head is Mike Tyson saying VHS.

[-] uid0gid0@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

I'm a strange coincidence, the 500MHz band that 5G is using used to be used by TV channels in a lot of markets. The TV channels had to be moved to other frequencies.

Whenever I'm in a old cemetery, I look for the graves that have five children dying within six weeks of each other. They're usually not too hard to find if there are 200 year old headstones.

[-] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 5 months ago

It always feels like “can you even imagine the psychological tortureporn and devastation the mourners endured in this spot and for the rest of their lives?”

Otoh. I have higher expectations for a just universe than this chaotic place provides. Maybe they were sad and then moved on. Especially re children dying 200 years ago.

She’s barely literate herself

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yeah I don’t know what she is talking about. And is she proud of her kid not being able to read until he was almost nine? “But the other stuff 😏 In every way, and I mean EVERY WAY.”

…w-what fuckin “other stuff? Is she claiming her kid is a great lay? What in the fuck is she talking about?

[-] Gold_E_Lox@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

poverty cycle in action :(

[-] diverging@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

I don't think unschooling is something that people living in poverty are doing.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 33 points 5 months ago

The studies:

In grade 6 everyone in class had already known that clearly little jimmy was special.

He was 15.

[-] dogsnest@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago

Studies Confirmed the typo: it's 'millstones'.

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

I'm afraid to ask what the other stuff is. The winking smiley doesn't help.

[-] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

Let's pretend this person is right. Let's just pretend the child is fine in every other way.

Ya kid still fucked

[-] madjo@feddit.nl 11 points 5 months ago

What studies?

[-] amon@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

[-] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

This is child abuse

What they are advocating is negligence
