Careful about radiation source, though. I was unhappy not to become a giant radioactive crab with superpowers, and I’d hate to see what radioactive supervillain MT would turn into. ---

Of course, the Republicans are, in fact, opposed to vaccines that keep you from dying of cancer. Have we already forgotten the “controversy” over HPV? ---

All the Trumplicans decrying measures taken to combat a CONTAGIOUS DISEASE have displayed this ignorance of the fact that CONTAGIOUS DISEASE differs from pregnancy, cancer, etc. We’ve seen this from Ted Cruz, Lauren Boebert, Don Jr., the Fox News liars, and many others. Some of them probably actually _are_ that stupid. Others (like, presumably, Cruz) simply believe that those listening to them are that stupid. And of course, that’s likely to be correct reasoning on their part. (examples:) > > > > > ---
