The act of being born in Florida confers a birthright guilt that can only be assuaged by suffering the fate of being a Floridian

I’ve posted about this previously but one of the metrics I track at my job is childhood immunization https://www.ncqa.org/hedis/measures/childhood-immunization-status/ Numbers for 2021 aren’t final but they are bad For some reason the anti-Covid vaccination poo poo is being deliberately pushed into abolishing all childhood vaccination. It’s an intentional strategy.

Jokerpilled Drudge posted:my partner works as a para at a public k-12 school so she has to more or less do whatever the administrators and kids are swinging towards... and I don't really blame her for being under those circumstances. There is no doubt that we are days or weeks away from the school being completely maskless. Is the para position through the school or is your partner contracted by the school district. Is it a union position. Otherwise, I feel this, sorry. I don't know if I'm a true believer anymore. It's hard for me to take school wide initiatives like social emotional learning and positive behavior interventions and supports seriously. Nobody wants to discuss how difficult it is to keep these schools open while this virus is spreading. It makes me feel crazy.

Grandma made sure that before the kid got out of reach he'd gotten his two shots and I can say for certain that if she hadn't that kid would never have gotten vaccinated.

So they’ve now become the party against childhood vaccines too and they’re elevating that Kennedy moron. But also the CDC did everything possible to aid them by losing peoples trust.

McCracAttack posted:I've lived in various parts of the southern US my whole life and even lovely states like Florida are full of people who want things to change and don't deserve the treatment their government inflicts. The Georgia election results in 2020 even showed those folks might be in the majority but voter suppression and general Republican fuckery keeps things the way they are. in 2010 or 2011 i went to Lakeland loving Florida on a business trip for an internship and met a local girl who was basically the first person to introduce me to any leftist thought. wonder how she's doing.

gradenko_2000 posted:we actually had a measles outbreak in 2019 due to small communities of parents deliberately refusing to vaccinate their kids with anything because of the prevalence of this antivaxxer sentiment lol again with the bizarroworld reflections. this sounds exactly like crunchy hippie moms here and, also, the NHL i guess quote:vaccine stuff sigh, unfortunately antivax sentiment does make more sense to me in the context of ph after dengvaxia, but i'm glad that it's on the mend, so to speak. i'm a little surprised duterte himself got on board but, well, better than the alternative quote:face shield stuff ohhhhhhhhh lol so that's the reason. my closest friend there was understandably extremely eye-rolly about the requirement but never explained the suspected grift going on to motivate it. incredible lol quote:mask stuff yeah i guess it's good that one pretty noticeable difference in my not-so-great understanding of ph vs. us politics is the lack of "oppositional-defiant personality disorder as a political ideology" which has led to much greater acceptance of masking (despite the several official exemptions you noted). i also wonder -- without solid evidence to back me up -- if people in countries whose health care systems are under-resourced (less oxygen, fewer beds, etc.) are more likely to be active proponents of masking because they see that as their "last line of defense," whereas rich country residents see the ICU as their "last line of defense" as if they're entitled to it -- as stupid as it is. anyway, thanks for the ph update as always. btw, what do you think the actual honest-count-of-votes would look like right now for the presidential election (specifically bbm vs. leni)?

It's incredibly difficult to get the ability to vote back too in many states. I think Florida still requires you to "pay all the restitution" which could be insane poo poo. this also leads into - anyone who says stupid poo poo like VOTE needs to get punched in the tits/nads repeately cause it literally cannot fix these problems. silicone thrills fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Mar 7, 2022 |

CDC hosed up by playing politics rather than sticking to cold risk numbers. They started treating themselves as a risk acceptance / risk management agency. They aren't. They are capable of providing data used in the calculus of risk acceptance. Nothing more. The obvious problem, of course, is that providing just that rate of risk information means that the public can double check their data and call any agency making the actual risk acceptance decisions (the White House, for example) on their bullshit. There is a very specific reason why this administration moved our risk acceptance decisions largely away from other agencies and into the same house that can see and massage the raw data. As an aside, if you work for a company that starts to shuttle risk acceptance stakeholders anyway from a distributed model through the business and towards a concentrated area or sphere of influence, just make sure that your resume is up to date.

tl;dr risk acceptance work had to be moved into the CDC at the last minute because other agencies have some very strict frameworks for what constitutes acceptable risk in the workplace that was a legal can of worms that Capital could not risk opening

I think it's the coldness of the cruelty that gets to me. Like if you're going to try and maim and murder me, at least have the honesty to do it to my face. At least the fascists on 4chan are honest and open that they want me and everyone like me to suffer and die. I'm sick of Biden and Wallensky gaslighting me while they twist the knife.

kreeningsons posted:woke up today with some loving sinus thing after spending last week in the office during an inspection from our regulators, which means there were 3x more people than normal there. as usual my mask discipline is 110% and i had my envo on at all times. kreeningsons posted:oh cool my gf has also had a sinus thing since wednesday, she just never told me update my PCR and her two rapid tests were negative. i guess it was something else. it doesn't give me a lot of confidence that something less than the fastest spreading disease known to man, has somehow gotten to me.

My expertise is antiquity, although I'm reasonably knowledgeable about a lot of history, but has there ever been in all of human history a time when there was a plague and the collective reaction of the affected society was to at best do nothing and at worst start actively trying to spread it around? I'm unable to think of any. Like obviously lots of pre-modern societies had some unusual - to put it mildly - ideas about what caused disease and how to get rid of it, but 'I bet if we murder the local Jews God will stop the black death' is at least showing an awareness that the Black Death is bad and should be avoided and that steps should be taken to combat it, even if those steps were insane and murderous. Like I am honestly unaware of any precedent. It's straight up autogenocide.
