Technically, we have a family doctor; the same guy who delivered our children.

Regardless is where it came from, why are some immigrants not required to take a vaccine while others are?
During the American Revolution, smallpox posed a significant threat to the Continental Army, with the disease responsible for an estimated 90% of deaths among soldiers. Recognizing this danger, George Washington, who had survived smallpox himself during a trip to Barbados in 1751, took decisive action. In January 1777, he ordered a mass inoculation of his troops, starting in Morristown, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This bold move came despite the risks associated with the crude inoculation process of the time, which involved introducing a less virulent strain of the virus through small cuts in the skin. Washington's decision was controversial, as inoculation was not widely accepted and carried the risk of spreading the disease further. However, he believed it was essential to safeguard his army's strength against both the British and the invisible enemy of smallpox.
Washington's inoculation campaign marked the first large-scale, state-funded immunization effort in American history. By February 1777, he informed Congress of his plans, emphasizing the necessity of the measure to prevent the army from being decimated by the disease. The inoculation program proved successful, significantly reducing the impact of smallpox on the Continental Army and allowing them to maintain their fighting capacity. This strategic decision not only demonstrated Washington's leadership but also contributed to the eventual success of the American Revolution. It highlighted the importance of public health measures in military strategy, setting a precedent for future efforts to protect soldiers from disease.

Day 1 at RTC includes the shot gauntlet. They stick you in both arms you take two steps and the get you again, and two more steps and they get you again and then penicillin in your butt tissue. Then if you're headed into a combat zone you may have to get additional vaccines like Anthrax. I had them all, never complained, and only got ill after getting a pneumonia vaccine and that put me down pretty hard for about a week. I never questioned the orders or even hesitated. The covid vaccine I feel differently about because I don't trust any of the people involved including Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Anthony Fauci, Debbie Birx, China, Pfizer, Moderna etc.
First, profits are evil. Capitalism is bad and racist and disproportionately effects people of color. Second, this was in response to someone else who said I could assume a doctor's motivation but not a random internet person. Well Doctors don't work for free, so their motivation to keep their BMWs and their big house seems pretty self-evident.
Then why do you work for a profit?
- Profits are Evil
- You Work For Profit
- You Are Evil
You did pretend to know their motivation and are doing it again. Your skepticism about experts while giving a pass to anonymous internet posters is a terrific example of gullibility.
I assume because they like them better than a Lexus or Porche or Audi.
Working for profit is not evil it is capitalism. What is evil is working for the sake of $$ and for the loved of $$. That is a sin.
More evident than anyone else who works?
JFC. I had forgotten how illogical you are.
I'd get you a shirt with arnold palmer's dick on it... but I wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong impression about you.
You could also get a shirt saying "witless" as that would be apt as well.
You're so lame you have to regurgitate someone else's lame jokes.
Perhaps people seeing a giant dick on your shirt, would be giving them exactly the right impression or maybe one with Joe's Place face on it... same effect.
Yeah, I have been taking these Vladamir Zalenskyyyyy comedian classes, he's just not any better at comedy than he is running a country. I should have picked someone better.
They are ALL required. You just have to physically catch the ones sneaking across illegally, hold them down and poke them with it. Since we're not always able to wrangle those suckers, I recommend not being an anti-vax conspiracy theorist and get the MMR vaccination. You just never know who's mowing your lawn or picking your oranges.
It's no different than getting uninsured motorist coverage. You may get hit by a doctor, a little old lady or an illegal immigrant. Since you never know, it's smart to take informed precautions.
Okay, so what about the MMR and the anti-vaxers who's kids are getting the disease? ...which is primarily what this thread is about. Seriously, I haven't given the "outbreak" a second thought because my entire family has been vaccinated.
During COVID, the White House announced that they weren’t going make it a requirement for immigrants to get the vaccine.
Nobody in my family has been vaccinated and I have ZERO concerns as well about any measles outbreak. 🤷♂️
You're a fvcking dumbass and I hope your family doesn't die due to stupidity. JFC, a 60+ year old proven vaccine and you're like. Na, I'm good. I drink filtered water and use 2-ply toilet paper.
You're saying no one in your family has received the MMR vaccination? Like ever? Immediate family, or is this a generational thing?
Die from what; low-grade fever and a mild rash? OH NOEZZZZ!!!😱
Sorry. That's not worth the risk of autism.
I haven't and our kids haven't. I'm assuming my wife probably did but who knows.
Dude! Are you fvcking kidding me right now? You're one of those people? JFC! Measles isn't a mild rash, you imbecile! Measles can cause some severe shit like pneumonia, encephalitis and even death, especially in young kids. And while I'm at it, there is NO credible link between the MMR vaccine and autism.
This
That Joes Place twat is probably going to butt fvck you lubeless over this one, bro.
Wakefield never made that claim. His exact words from the study: We did not prove an association between measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and the syndrome described.
Straw man.
It’s not a straw man. Wakefield absolutely contributed to the false narrative that vaccines cause autism.
