There is two ways to look at it you can keep giving yourself artificial immunity year after year and never build up natural defenses. Or you can get the cold/flu once a year and recover in a day.
In short not getting vaccinated, just bringing hand sanitizer, wipes, and little bottles of pulp free OJ.
Vaccine == natural immunity

Ahhh anti-vaxxers...I won't even insult them because silly goose is not nearly a strong enough phrase.
Hey guys, without herd immunity from vaccinations little immunocompromised kids (and their immunocompromised adult homies) are going to die. Congratulations, you immoral fucks!
Also that website you are on is ReadWriteWeb, it's not facebook.
The idea behind the laser is that it could be used to control mosquito populations in developing countries in hopes of reducing the number of deaths due to malaria, a disease frequently carried by the flying insects. The device was shown off during the TED 2010 conference and does in fact appear to be capable of tracking and killing mosquitoes. Oh, and it was built out of parts found on eBay.
I'm really fascinated by this video but I'm not entirely sure what is going on. Are the wings burning off? how did they track a flying mosquito so accurately? so many questions.
I'd have not problem if those people kept just endangering themselves and die off, but they're fucking with group immunity, so I hate them like the pest they are

Also this other forum I go to sometimes has a whole thread of people agreeing with each other about how global warming is a hoax. The most reasonable people on there are all "well there's not enough evidence either way." The most left wing person there is a libertarian which I guess explains a lot.
Why do people let politics dictate science to them? I hate.

because that's generally the only way it's presented to the public
especially with hot button issues like climate change
there aren't scientists coming on the air presenting graphs and research data, it's politicians using it for their own means
also generally the public officials don't understand the data at all, or do and straight up lie about it
Part of the problem is that in America, there is a desperate attempt to seem fair in the news, which means both sides of any issue gets equal time, and therefore equal value in terms of coverage. The news media does not want to be seen as taking sides, especially on hot button issues, so they fall over themselves to be as impartial towards the truth as possible.
This means that if a pair of scientists who have nothing to do with particle physics thinks that CERN is going to destroy the world, even though the last particle accelerator they said this about didn't, and 4,000 other scientists all agree that it's bullshit, the two guys get the same amount of coverage.

Edward Jenner and a bunch of Turks will soon rise from the hrave and destroy them all.
Of this I am conviced.
Also I am greatly embarrassed by the fact the Leader of the Opposition here in Australia took power from the old one mostly being supported by climate change deniers.

"We're finally breaking out of the conventional wisdom of the last 20 years, which insisted that birds evolved from dinosaurs and that the debate is all over and done with," [zoologist John] Ruben said. "This issue isn't resolved at all. There are just too many inconsistencies with the idea that birds had dinosaur ancestors, and this newest study adds to that."
. . . Birds may have had an ancient common ancestor with dinosaurs, but they evolved separately on their own path, and after millions of years of separate evolution birds also gave rise to the raptors. Small animals such as velociraptor that have generally been thought to be dinosaurs are more likely flightless birds, he said.
"Raptors look quite a bit like dinosaurs but they have much more in common with birds than they do with other theropod dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus," Ruben said. "We think the evidence is finally showing that these animals which are usually considered dinosaurs were actually descended from birds, not the other way around."
Evolution is so cool but the seven year old in me always dies a little inside when I hear stuff like this. I need my birds to be dinosaurs! Just...just for a little longer. Until my heart is completely frozen.

This reminds me of when I was talking to my friends about Jellyfish, and we were discussing what kind of kingdom and class and stuff they belonged to and what they were related to and so I did some investigation into it and discovered everything after Kingdom is pretty much a clusterfuck when you get into the less commonplace animals, and that it involved a lot of different kinds of worms.
Then I remembered one of the only things I remember from high school Biology was that they taught us "This system started off pretty fucked, and then they fucked around with it and made it less fucked, but it's still pretty fucked when you get down to it and we should start from scratch." So I stopped trying to understand most of it. Still very interesting though and evolution has always been something that intrigued me. I really should learn some more about the whole deal though I guess that's kind of an undertaking.

when you live on the beach and tend bar until 2am and they start screeching when the sun comes up outside your window, a certain amount of animosity is bound to develop.
it's kind of inevitable living anywhere near a coast
goddamn seagulls have so many feathers
I have never once hit a bird ever
oh wait woman driver 8-)
I have had birds fly head-on into my windshield in a kamikaze manner. Blackbirds do this. I am nowhere near a coast. And I am a woman driver in the sense that I navigate the byways overland in an automobile while being female.

do they not understand how vaccines work
Launch them by catapult then turn them into ash with a satisfying FWAAAP.
Start with Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey.

give birds hands and they'd evolve to become the next dominant species on earth
I for one would welcome our new avian overlords
You'd probably really enjoy Every Living Thing
yeah well you haven't hit birds in your car
you hit birds in your car?

hey, Linnaeus did the best he could considering he assumed there were only 10k species in the entire world
