The polio vaccine was extremely effective and polio was very nasty. It also affected kids.

But what, and hear me out, hear me out hear, what if that shot all those years ago was actually part of a plot spanning across all political parties and involving millions of government employees and the plot was to give us a shot to minimize unnecessary death BUT that shot hurt a little bit and I don't like ouchies so, and hear me out, what if we don't get the shit and protest it but come up with a better excuse than disliking ouchies?
Or it was part of a plot to put oligarchs with vested financial interests in control of the US government?
...Oh, right, we got that already.
Jonas Salk was a man who understood the point of science and life
If these losers family from the early 20th century were still alive they would curb stomp everyone of them.
Remember when giving a shit about others was touted as a virtue?
Empathy is Weakness, Ignorance is Strength, Equality is Woke.
I don’t think it ever was actually. At least I don’t remember anything like that. Do you remember something?
Children’s TV shows
Ohh well during my times we had this fearful dog, powerpuff girls, samurai jack I guess and Dexter? Ah and ed edd and eddy
Idk maybe I missed some messages in them
I guess there was also this stupid Czech thing where this animal who digs in the soil whatever it is called in English was having all sorts of stupid stuff happening
Well and the Tom and Jerry too I think?
Maybe I missed some messages in them
Courage taught us to be empathetic and stand up for those we loved, no matter how scary the challenge was
Ed Edd and Eddy taught us the importance of the family we choose. Even if your parents aren't always looking out for you, your friends are.
Dexter mostly taught me not to be an insufferable "intellectual" asshole like that little fucker was
Tom and Jerry probably had a message? I dunno but it was fun
Was never interested in Samurai Jack
You know what I never got anything of the kind from these things. They were just funny mostly and kinda scary in some places. I don't know, maybe it is something subconscious.
I just remember wanting to slice everyone with a lightsaber at some point. I guess there were plenty of lessons about dismemberment in Star Wars. Actually Star Wars had plenty of these lessons but from the perspective they were kind of... well. Fitting for a monk more than a normal human. Not really that great.
Lucas is nuts claiming it was a kids movie series. Maybe phantom menace but even that was like cmon people got sliced in half and politics lol. I am a rice field worker if OT are children movies.
You don't even understand half of the Vader, Luke stuff until rewatch when you are much older. Actually I almost went to monastery or something thanks to Star Wars and got super religious and dogmatic at one point roleplaying a Jedi of course for a whole school year or something. That was quite embarrassing
Then I got a bible and started reading and repeated to everyone who wanted to hear and those who didn't the selected holy warfare quotes. That was also quite embarrassing
If the bible had more warfare quotes who knows what I would be doing today, fortunately there are only like three in total. Unlike in Koran I guess. Poor muslim kids.
Still better than the cursed smartphone zombies we all turn into

My fringe theory is all antivaxxers are just terrified of needles and playing the long con. They act like wimps so it tracks.
