🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬‼️
@arstechnica for the pedantic among us: these isolationist communities that do not vaccinate would be protected by herd immunity if the rest of us did our jobs.
@arstechnica 77 million people voted for this dead child.
@arstechnica Sending ICE (Innocent Children Equeries) to pick up Kennedy and his motley crew before depositing them into an Infectious Diseases Ward would be a more appropriate response in my view.
@arstechnica The barista where I got my cuppa this morning was masked. She's done that before; she told me some smells aggravate her migraines. But I heard her tell another customer it's because of a recent death from measles (in a county far from us).
She's being extra careful. Unlike customers, she doesn't have a choice about whom she interacts with.
@arstechnica RFK Jr should be impeached or at least subjected to daily drug tests.
@arstechnica public service announcement.
If you’re older get your titer checked, the vaccines can and do become ineffective as time passes. Revaccinate.
