Works best if we can get the anti-vaxxers to bury their own dead, but in the end, somebody has to handle the last body. ---

I’d love to have a reality show where a bunch of these anti-vaxxers are on a cruise ship with someone with one of the diseases, only problem is that the adults are probably vaccinated and it wouldn’t be right to include kids ---

If I had no moral scruples, I bet I could make serious money selling a “de-vaccination” service to vaccinated adults who think they might catch the 'tiz because their parents didn’t want them to die of typhoid. It’s not like RFK Jr. would try to stop me. ---

> [@Zyada](#): > > only problem is that the adults are probably vaccinated and it wouldn’t be right to include kids Earlier in the anti-vax movement, I pointed out that we have to keep in mind how many anti-vax parents are themselves fully vaccinated\*. They’re forcing their kids to be unvaccinated while not exposing themselves to the same risks. One thing I remember being interested in is how many anti-vax parents, that is, parents that refused to vaccinate their kids against the things kids are typically vaccinated against, went out and got the covid vaccine for themselves. In other words, are they still against vaccines when they’re the ones that might get sick? \*and, now that I think about it, they are, for the most part, not autistic or showing any of the other symptoms they’ve associated with vaccines. ---

trump’s solution to the increase in disease cases, like the Texas measles outbreak: stop reporting it. One day in a couple years hence, someone will go visit some red state small town and find it looks like Piedmont, AZ in The Andromeda Strain. And it was never mentioned in any official news. ---

Thing about typhoid is that it is like cholera: it is not a general infection like a flu. Basic (or slightly better than basic) sanitation is enough to prevent a typhoid epidemic, as it is a type of salmonella. ---
