Mahr with his typical medicine is evil (although it does good things, sometimes, I guess).

 

I don't know what the f*** he's smoking on this one.

 

So funny that this is the one issue that doesn't fall along party lines at ALL. You have wacko right wingers with their anti-vaxx conspiracies and you have ultra lefters doing the same thing.

 

Dumbasses all.

Well, they're not exempt from mine. If you post on Soxtalk and are an anti-vaxxer, you deserve ever ounce of ridicule you get, and please stop posting here.

Maybe it's just my paranoia, but I feel like the axe would fall pretty hard on me if I hit 3. Haha

It shows the futility of "winning" an argument with these people when something like "they treated my dad for ulcers incorrectly" as an absolute against biology and medicinal science, but the millions and millions of cases of the success and improved health outcomes are proof of nothing.

What killed me about the whole thing is the smugness that comes with being able to say "climate change deniers are just delusional morons" while they themselves have become vaccination deniers. He says the two situations aren't comparable but i'm not really sure how they aren't. In both situations you have an overwhelming amount of people saying one thing, and just a handful of deniers, and the deniers have been debunked. And then that prayer chick says "oh but disagreement is a good thing!" without realizing how that same logic should apply to other scientific "controversies" but clearly doesn't.

 

I mean I can agree with a very general statement that Mahr has said before - we're an over-medicated/treated society. We go overboard on a lot of things that we don't need to go crazy over (prescriptions, anti-bacterial soap, elective surgeries, diet s***). But Jesus that was some head in the sand nonsense. I also liked how he threw in weird comments like "and they say 2 drinks a day is good for you....how about zero drinks a day!"

Interesting...

California passed a new law which will require all to be vaccinated to attend schools (unless you have a medical exemption). Personal and religious exemptions will no longer be granted.

and Jim Carrey flipped the f*** out over it

The U.S. also celebrated with its first measles death in more than a decade today.

I don't see why celebs are against vaccinations. Isn't it medically proven people NEED them?

Well no, humans lived without vaccinations for millennia. Vaccinations just keep lots of people from dying because they randomly were exposed to a disease.
