Vaccinations are one of the biggest advances we as a species have ever made really. There are a lot of bloody stupid people in this world, right now especially! I think some have to qualify as willfully dumb (youtube stars like directly above?). I just have no time anymore for the kind of garbage the internet seems to perpetuate among the ignorant. How can we teach people to think, to have some grasp of what they don't and can't know. I think I just argued some of these things with someone on the John Byrne forum. Yes, you can get suckered too! Glad to see maybe they have been on the other side, but what a waste of time!
Let's not perpetuate any more half truth b.s. infotainment! That would be a good new creed to spread.

BTW, two public freakout videos I saw over the last few days really made my week. Weird. So in this video and a 24 year old guy and 46 year get into a road rage incident. The 46 year old guy is the one try to slash away with a boxcutter. After a bystander diffuses the situation, the 46 year old guy goes into the other guys car to take the keys away. Another altercation happens with the younger man trying to get his keys back, only to almost be killed when he is sandwiched between cars. The dude that stole the keys sped away. He was later captured in the week by police. He faces charges of attempted murder, first-degree robbery, assault, first-degree reckless endangerment, leaving the scene of an accident and second-degree menacing. Also heard he's had up to 16 prior run-ins with the law. I don't know where this video is, but it was kind of funny. It's actually a familiar scene with some people I've seen in a fight. When the get their asses kicked, a lot of people that try to sell themselves as being immersed in the street life/tough still try to talk shit after they got their ass kicked. As if to say face. Maybe it's just a instinctual defense mechanism to save themselves from being embarrassed, while not believing that they actually lost. I also think some women are not used to getting hit back, so maybe they don't know how to handle it. The first video happened in NYC where I live and I was waiting to see if the 46 year old was a career criminal. It seemed like he was. The second video made my day because she beat up a total lowlife.

She was given one, but the manager turned off the soda machine so that the customer couldn't try to pull a fast one and jack free soda. When this happened, the woman threw a fit.

I saw the video. The woman tried to steal soda and assaulted the Mcdonalds worker when she called her on it. I'm glad she got her Butt kicked.

Why even take on someone that big? She looks like eats linebackers as Scooby snacks.
I have to say though, I heard a comment the other day that made me laugh:
"The woman shouldn't have thrown the milkshake at her. That's like a free power up for them".

I did not get the chicken pox vaccination for my middle son as it was very new at the time and, y’know, chicken pox. I wish I had. Turns out he scars very easily and he has some significant scars on his chest and stomach from them. Luckily he didn’t pock on his face.

I wish there'd been a chicken pox vaccine in the early '80s, when I had it during second grade. Didn't end up with any scars, but I just remember a two-week blur of itching.

I had chicken pox and measles, but managed to miss mumps.

Since we're comparing, I had chicken pox and mumps (I was vaccinated for measles).

A bunch of kids in elementary school, myself included, got the red measles and we all ended up needing glasses. Somehow it effected our eyes permanently. I think I had the fever worst and almost died because I couldn't eat on top of it. Now they'd have put a feeding tube in I guess.

Good thing you weren't vaccinated...

People today don’t realize how bad such a “benign” disease can be. I don’t recall how bad my fever was, but the doc did say I could go blind (which scared me in doing exactly what he prescribed!)

I remember we had polio and diptheria innoculations, and booster shots of various sorts, but I guess they either didn't have anything for the red measles or just not at that time but maybe some time after. My brother got some kind of thing I never did that effected his lungs for life, he had to have a steam tent. That stuff seems to have been very common in England at one time. I was sick a lot as a kid, a lot of people who are very attached to comic books seem to have that in their histories... spending a lot of time in bed with comic books (and maybe radio) as company. I was sick enough often enough that my Mother's godmother donated a little b&w tv someone had left in the apartment building she managed... I remember sneakily watching old Alfrted Hitchock Presents shows on it late at night with the earphone.
