For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
The main reason lifespans were so short in the past was because so many kids died of disease that it pushed the avg lifespan down with it. I used to work to restore old cemeteries with my local historical society. I'd find family plots that would have 3-4 kids all dying within a few months of each other.
Im starting to feel these fools think they have the good genes that will throw off the disease and its those other undesirables that will die.
More like God's Plan, these fools don't understand genes, but yeah same outcome.
Did you know that Gandhi was an anti-vaxxer?
Vaccination is a barbarous practice and one of the most fatal of all the delusions current in our time. Conscientious objectors should stand alone, if need be, against the whole world, in defence of their conviction.
And
…there is absolutely no need to be afraid of small-pox.
I cannot also help feeling that vaccination is a violation of the dictates of religion and morality.
The vaccine is a filthy substance, and it is foolish to expect that one kind of filth can be removed by another.
Until he wasn't.
I can’t sleep. These kiddies are fading away like little buds. I feel the weight of their deaths on my shoulders. I prevailed upon their parents not to get them vaccinated. Now the children are passing away. It may be, I am afraid, the result of my ignorance and obstinacy; and so I feel very unhappy.
It turns out that if you expose children, unprotected, to deadly diseases, they die.
I wonder who this fucknut is gonna blame when his kids take an "unexpected" turn for the worse?
Of the 4 Chaos gods of Warhammer, I could understand people being tempted by power, sex or violence, but disease never made sense to me. Who would want to be a Nurgle cultist? Now we know.
Having delved a little into that lore myself out of the same curiosity I learned that it's actually a very appealing temptation in the warhammer 40k lore, it's a promise of painless immortality and a perpetual celebration of the cycle of life and death. You don't mind that you become a rotten, bloated monster filled with bugs... because you feel great and feel the warm embrace of a divine being that you know you will become a part of one day. It's like distilled religion, with all the body-horror that goes with religion amped up to eleven.
Also, the people who are convinced to pledge their perpetual loyalty are usually victims of Nurgle's own plagues and horrific diseases so the people who succumb are a bit "motivated" to make the pain and suffering end.
As with everything in the franchise, there is a direct allegory here to the way religions or imperialist ideologies spread, cause direct, targeted harm to the people, and then forces those people to either be consumed by the movement that is harming them or be killed.
Worshipping Anthraxus
Nurgle grants eternal life, after a fashion. Easier for me to understand than these IRL death cultists…
I wonder if a big part of his psychology here is that by being the contrarian and going against X you create the illusion that you are wiser that others. The hipster effect.
On the plus side people like this weed themselves out of the gene pool. Too bad he is taking his kids down with him.
Well how about you die mad you abusive piece of shit?
This is the problem with vaccines, they've been so successful that demagogues and morons exploit the fading memory of diseases to play on people's ignorance and our fears from not understanding medicine and biology.
“I genuinely am upset that your kids are vaccinated, because it’s keeping my kids from getting chickenpox. It’s keeping my kids from getting measles,” he told me. “I believe their health depends on them catching those live viruses.” I asked him if he wanted his kids to catch all of the illnesses against which American children are routinely vaccinated. “Yes,”
To me that really sounds a whole heck of a lot like an open admittance that he'd like his children to die painfully.
Good. I hope he gets so mad from people getting vaccinated that he just explodes.
We can just call this guy a "virus advocate".
Finally, someone is speaking up for dna/rna bundles.
remember the MAGATS that were posting "plague spreading memes" on thier social media. Its on anti-vaxxers who take advice from a heroin, cocaine, steroid addict.
pertussis , rsv is one of those disease that is the reverse for adults, more severe in children than adults.
In a sane world his children would be taken from him and he would be jailed for reckless child endangerment.
Can't let your kid walk to school but can do this ? Fuck that
You actually have a point, the guy is openly discussing ways to harm his kids and is in all evidence not a safe person for them to be with.
This man is out there trying to murder his living family.
he wants to bring back the hermain cain awards.
Please be The Onion. Please be The Onion.
Fucking damnit
I'm genuinely upset that you are a dangerous moron.
The amount of absolute stupidity these days is shocking.
It was always there, the internet just gave them leverage to find each other and make professional sounding networks of absolutely rock stupid fucking people.
Normal people: I need to have a medical procedure.
Republicants: I need for you to not have a medical procedure.
I prefer letting my kids get hit by cars traveling at 100mph instead of having cars with brakes and speed limits.
I Genuinely Am Upset That Your Kids Are Vaccinated
That’s a you problem.
I'm genuinely upset that media wastes attention on such idiots.
They are the same people who have real tangible stakes in the media, the media is just them also. They are the media.
I am upset that there are absolutely no regulations and checks on corporate expansion or rules about neutrality in informative media.
At this point if anyone says "genuinely" in a sentence in just gonna assume you're not really genuine.
