This is child abuse. Fullstop.
Fuck these parents.
Here's what I do. I have my kids injected with weakened or dead pathogens. Sometimes I can I can just have them injected with a molecule that looks like a pathogen.
It's not a vaccine! It's just pre gaming the cold.
I have my kids injected with weakened or dead pathogens.
It's homeopathic!
After enough doses, you build up an immunity. I learned it from the princess Bride.
It's like colloidal silver, but just a bit more organic. Nods.
Just how organic we talking here? Like a 7?
Also: these fucking self righteous insider knowing nods are all that kill me now that I’m all vaxxed up.
Vaccines or not, kids getting sick all the time is what they do. It's also beneficial in the long run.
Ya, but it stops like at 3 yo.
But you don't want your kids getting one of the diseases you vaccinate for, as they sometimes kill or maim for life.
These people also sound like the types to get right into other people's faces at the grocery stores to excitedly tell everyone how healthy they are by not getting vacced.
I would think the homeschool and anti-vaccine crowd is more insular in person, maybe I'm just lucky.
It's probably church and shopping habits, not luck.
The bigger issue is that she doesn't seem to give her kids any medicine either, just "vitamins and soup". That means the poor kids will be sick for longer and probably more likely to get sick again since they never properly recovered.
To be fair, aren't vitamins and soup pretty much the best thing we have for viral infections like the flu and covid? I mean, obviously vaccinating is better, but when you're already sick, you pretty much just need to rest, stay hydrated, get some nutrients and let your immune system deal with it, right?
Generally yes, for a reasonably healthy person and a typical flu for example, that's all anyone would need. The exception is if there's any complications because of the infection and that's just playing the odds. In those cases there are anti-viral drugs and other treatments but they usually come with a long list of side effects. It's usually best to let the body fight the infection itself and just support it. That said, every year tons of healthy people are disabled or die because of very common illnesses so it's not so black and white. Generally speaking, you are correct, but don't let that stop you from seeking care if you think you need it.
I dont agree w her not vaccinating but to a degree its the other way around. Medication introduces a new selection pressure on pathogens thus causing them to become more resistant. As the other person said, rest, hydration and nutrients r all thats needed in most cases, and overactive measures are bad. its good to be cautious but not overly so to the point u take antibiotics for every single infection (unless ur doctors told u to).
Yeah obviously you shouldn't take antibiotics for a little flu. I was more talking about medicine to fight the symptoms. For example some syrup for the throat, or a nose spray against snot. It doesn't fight the virus but it relieves some of the pain and allows for a quicker recovery.
I wish I could laugh at this one. They're going to kill their kids.
Or giving them Long Covid at some point. There is a chance of getting it with each new infection, much larger when not vaccinated. And each infection can also shave off a few IQ points.
I have long COVID. It's hell. It's like I've had chronic fatigue and some sort of.neuroloigcal damage for the past two years. But it is ever slowly improving and I'd guess I'm about 80% back to normal. I cannot wait to be back in full swing.
Goddamn, that’s awful, man. I’m sorry to hear it. That shit terrifies me
I was worse at math for like 6 months after one bout of covid
Been like that myself for 2 years, never tested positive for COVID, but I'm really wondering.
Well I had no symptoms. My partner was super sick and I had them test. Thought I would as well after they were positive, and I was too. I'd been on the mountain snowboarding all day and was all pumped and planning tomorrow, I felt excellent.
It was about a week later, my tinnitus would be incredibly loud at times. Every 30s or so, I'd get this weird palpitation sensation at the back of my skull, coupled with dizziness or pain in the head. Brain started just not working and I'd give up on thoughts. Then the fatigue hit and some days Id sleep up to 14 hrs when I usually sleep 6.5-7.5.
But still, not a single cough, sore throat, nothing. It was all in my skull and I could feel it in there.
That really sucks, I hope you're over it soon.
Well it's a tiny bit funny in that she's so perplexed by it all. The cognitive dissonance is unreal.
Rub some butter on their feet and have them carry a wrinkled potato around with them. Guaranteed to keep the flu away. For a cough, it's potatoes on the feet and butter in the hands.
Don't forget to massage in a nice herb rub at bed time, then wrap them in foil before covering them in the electric blanket for 20 minutes at 350° to really seal in the flavor.
No onions?
You tie those on your belt, though that's more to do with it being the style.
Their immigrant neighbours ate all the unions. Even though the kept them locked up. The onions, not the neighbors.
At least they acknowledge that COVID and the flu are real and not a hoax. That's usually easier to work with.
imagine your kids get sick and saying nahh you're not sick, because the flu doesn't exist
Needs more soups etc probably
Chicken noodle enema—good for the body, good for the soul
How am I supposed to stick an entire book up my ass
“Chicken soup for your butt’s soul ”
Hard work and practice, like all things worth doing in life. I find the paperbacks easier to work with myself.
no no no, you gotta inject it, directly to the forehead!
I prefer a nice chowder
In the end, all soup is chowder
Have they tried horse dewormer?
And a bit of bleach?
Also stare at the sun
