Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom You most likely own neither a tricorder nor any other accurate medical testing devices to be absolutely sure that your "cold/flu" symptoms are not something worse. Please assume any such illness may be dangerous to yourself and others. Mask up, stay home, get well soon. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked 12:46 PM · Aug 20, 2023

I ALSO CAUGHT WHOOPING COUGH BECAUSE MY CLASSMATE WASN'T VACCINATED. I had it when I was fifteen. Coughed for an entire summer break, my voice was never the same. Mom blamed my doctor as much as my classmates mom; said doctor thought it'd be okay to skip my booster since 'whooping cough is going extinct' (her reasoning) and my mom didn't realize how many kids at my charter school were there for religious reasons.

Wow, that doctor deserves to lose their license. And "religious/personal belief exemptions" should not exist. Period. I am so furious on your behalf, and glad you have (mostly) recovered.

Team #antivax soon to be struck with measles 🤒

ik antivaxxers are nowhere near as common but goddamn i hate them so much. specifically when they say 'guys they give you autism'. not only is that completely untrue, it also means 'id rather have a dead child than an autistic child' which is absolutely heartbreaking.

there are, of course, other types of antivaxxers, most notably those who believe it's the government trying to chip you, and while they still annoy me, they at least make me laugh a bit. it just really demonstrates how much people hate autism, which, unsurprisingly, upsets me as an autistic person.

im just glad i wasn't this age around the time the mmr antivaxxers were going round, or i'd be so much more upset.

All vaxxed up and ready to go!

Got my bivalent covid booster and my flu shot! Didn’t have any side effects besides slight tiredness that afternoon, and a sore arm for a few days. Vax it up! 💉

In his speech at the 75th World Health Assembly, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), stresses that “the COVID-19 pandemic has turned our world upside down. Our world has endured great suffering – and endures it still…But we can end it. We have the knowledge. We have the tools. Science has given us the upper hand.” He also states that “we see vaccine hesitancy driven by misinformation and disinformation.” 

Read a factsheet by the New York State Department of Health to help you find ways how you can fight against the dispersion of misinformation about the Covid-19 vaccines!  

I got yelled at for suggesting that someone get the vaccines.

"You know I hate needles! Last time I got COVID I was fine! If I see a needle I'll panic and pass out! I don't care if others can do it! Stop telling me to get the shot, I don't need shots!"

Says the person who hasn't gotten a vaccine in twenty years and who will bring up their abusive neglectful parents as a defense.

I don't know what to do anymore, so every time I chat with this person I'm going to casually mention how the virus does all kinds of amazing unpredictable things like crosses the blood brain barrier and awaken dormant illnesses.

Excuse me. Sorry. They liked the virus because it "silenced their brain" and made a metallic echo in their head that they could sing to. My bad. That doesn't sound like brain inflammation or damage at all.

I wonder what they're really afraid of.

Will you be selling any more of your Togo/Balto pins? I love vaccine pins!

so sorry for taking so long to reply! yes I have them back in stock in my store!

Yesterday, I received the COVID–19 booster shot. My minor side effects are fatigue, sore arm, headache, and body chills. Overall, it was a very positive experience. Thank you to the dedicated teams at Rowan University and the New Jersey Department of Health (DOH). ♥

Here is a great study confirming that the more vaccines you've had, the lower your likelihood of getting post covid syndrome.

Keep up on your vaccines!

Thank you for your patience while the owner, Sam, has been sick! Let this be your cautionary reminder to get your flu and COVID shots before you end up like her ~

😷💉🤒

The antibiotics seem to be doing their job on the secondary bacterial infection and she'll be back online regularly soon. The hatchlings are doing great, and the rodents have started their next round of litters, so we have a lot of work to do while Sam recovers!

My family member told me (again) that vaccines cause infertility.

I asked him how many doses do I need to take for it to actually work.

He wasn't amused.
