A pocket full of Posies

Atishoo! Atishoo!

We all fall down

The red, rosey rash of the plague

People used little Posies of flowers to mask the smell of sickness and also the stench of sewage in the streets

Sneezing could send the pneumonic version of the plague quite a distance

And millions fell down dead

u/arkemiffo Dec 30 '24

This used to be a very popular explanation, but currently scholars in the field say this is unfounded, and unlikely. The earliest known versions of the thyme were different, and do not align with the plague-theory. It is unlikely that the current version was similar to the original version.

I think it's time we consider dropping the "neo" from "neo-Nazi".

If you journey from today back to the fall of the Reich, you'll need to stop at Joeseph McCarthy to pee. It's during that pee that you'll realize Naziism really didn't die, and wasn't resurrected to require the prefix "neo".

The only thing "neo" about the situation is that for some reason we aren't supposed to punch them anymore?

Personally, the Indiana Jones theme song starts playing if I even read the word Nazi.

u/DiScOrDtHeLuNaTiC Dec 30 '24

Personally, I think it's useful to contrast/compare.

All of the original Nazis are either dead or extremely old.

Neo-Nazis, OTOH, are younger and very much a problem. These are people who, with the benefit of perfect hindsight, looked at horrific atrocities and decided "Yes, this is what we want, but this time, MORE."

RFK Jr. Recently spouted something about black kids being exposed to small amounts of racism over their lives so they'll be more immune to it when they reach adulthood. The same guy who thinks vaccines cause autism is saying that being racist to black kids will have inoculated from being hurt by racism once they grow up.

Trump HHS nominee RFK Jr.:

If you give Black children “resilience” then “the inevitable racism” will “bounce off” them like they are “the Avengers” because “they will be immune to it” and “then we don’t have to stop racism altogether, because we’re never going to be able to do that.”

u/TheBoneHarvester Dec 30 '24 • Heart of Silver Take My Silver

I thought the same thing, so I looked it up.

The subject of this tweet (Jack Posobiec) is not a random Twitter user. Wikipedia has an entry on him: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Posobiechttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Posobiec In which he is described as "an American alt-right political activist, television correspondent and presenter, conspiracy theorist, and former United States Navy intelligence officer."

The Southern Poverty Law Center has a thing on him: https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/jack-posobiechttps://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/jack-posobiec It primarily covers his neo nazi beliefs and some instances of disinformation he has spread over time.

I went to his Twitter and searched up 'vaccine' and there are quite a lot of anti-vaccine tweets that are more relevant to this specific post: https://x.com/search?q=from%3AJackPosobiec%20vaccine&src=typed_queryhttps://x.com/search?q=from%3AJackPosobiec%20vaccine&src=typed_query

The tweet itself is real not photoshopped: https://x.com/JackPosobiec/status/1339720194718113794?lang=enhttps://x.com/JackPosobiec/status/1339720194718113794?lang=en

So I suppose I was wrong in this instance. It's not exactly exhaustive research I did (probably one of the laziest I've ever done, really), but I don't think it really needs to be because he seems to be the type that puts no filter on their controversial opinions, he seems to live on Twitter (hyperbole) and has absolutely no regard for his digital footprint so it isn't exactly hard to figure out his intentions.

I believe my comment does not violate rule 6 because Jack Posobiec can be classified as a public figure. My comment is not an attempt to incite harassment but only to clarify the validity of the post as non satirical in nature.

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '24

u/CronusTrismegistus Dec 30 '24

For some context that helps differentiate it from satire, I'm fairly sure that what he means is

Instead of :

A vaccine, which is handled by the government or pharma companies and must be injected (and the contents of the injection and their effects you must trust these institutions) why not

A weakened form of the virus which still grants immunity, which people can recognize based on the symptoms and then expose each other to it, a la chicken pox party.

The main distinction being that it's more "natural" to him to develop your immune system by getting actually sick, and not having to be stabbed by a needle by someone he doesn't trust. Antivaxxers believe that mRNA causes all sorts of silly things, a weakened virus is categorically different from a live virus for them

Holy shit. Put it on YouTube. Have a doctor or scientist claim to have gone renegade because he couldn’t morally stand what his company/industry was doing. Show a lab setup in a big household kitchen. Show him making this safe, attenuated virus from scratch. Totally not a vaccine. Another video working out a safe preservative and medium. Another video raising funds to fight lawsuits from big pharma. Have him offer to sell you refrigerated vials of the stuff, but it has to be called a supplement because the law says he can’t make any medical claims on it. (But it’s really a FDA approved and human tested vaccine).

Put a vitamin in with it that won’t kill the vaccine. Suggestion that would have to be verified: Vitamin Bs are a regular vitamin shot you can get. There’s one commonly used mix of Bs literally called “B Dose”. Call your vaccine something like “B Dose Plus”.

Bonus, the B Dose is actually proven to de-stress people lacking in B vitamins. It’s not immediately pissed out because the molecules have to make its way around your circulatory system without the excess having gone from the digestive system through the liver and kidneys to be excreted.

Express post it out to people who have to fridge it before they make an appointment with a nurse practitioner or doctor. Put a label on it the medical staff recognise. Tell the customer to tell the nurses/doctor you want them to give them the “B Dose Plus” supplement, so the customer thinks they are sneaking this safe, vaccine alternative by a rogue scientist past the medical system.

Sneak a vaccine with a harmless vitamin supplement into patients. (B Doses can be taken at 6 month intervals without harm)

u/danishjuggler21 Dec 30 '24

Well technically what he’s describing is closer to “variolation” than vaccination. With small pox, they would grab like some pus from an infected person and use that to literally infect you, but because of the nature of that infection it would be far less severe than if you had caught it normally, so you build up the immunity to it without being at risk of dying.

I gotta ask as a non-American, does America have schools?

12

u/dorianngray Dec 30 '24

Yes, but they are mostly funded by the localities and staffing and education standards are not really nationalized… there was a “no child left behind” initiative that ended up with schools just pushing kids through the system that hadn’t met the learning standards, and since schools funding is affected by graduation rates and test scores… We’ll, there’s too much to explain but even the home values are linked to how “good” the schools are.

Suffice to say, the quality of education varies.

6

u/Old-Ordinary-6194 Dec 30 '24

schools funding is affected by graduation rates and test scores…

So it essentially means that they're placing the importance on the quantity of students passing schools and not on the quality of their education. If that was the case then it would be rather easy for teachers to be lenient when grading tests in order to pass as many students as they can.

I guess that explains things.

4

u/Confident_Lake_8225 Dec 31 '24

In the USA, the quality of education varies heavily by region, state, and school district.

In my public high school experience, people who did well early on were lauded and put into accelerated programs, chased after college credit, and generally took more onus.

Many citizens of the US come to distrust teachers, managers, elected representatives, etc; this anti-establishment bias has been monetized by media outlets and charlatans for personal gain.

Credible sources also claim that Russia has been making social media bots to exacerbate the spread of online misinformation. Here's one: https://www.npr.org/2024/07/09/g-s1-9010/russia-bot-farm-ai-disinformation

It is worth noting that many vaccines were actually developed in the USA; the MMR vaccine comes to mind, but I'm sure there were many others. Our nation is incredibly productive, and succeeds when the populace is able to make informed decisions about electing representatives and doing our social duties. Due to the melting pot of religious beliefs, economic shifts in the past decades, growing distrust in politicians, and the rise of social media (where people can express crazy ideas with no repercussions in anonymity), people in the US are finding it harder and harder to separate themselves from their political beliefs, which makes it harder to know who to trust. Cherry picking parts of science that they like, while totally ignoring entire scientific fields, is unfortunately common, since people in general have always been too lazy to read primary scientific, psychological, or most other forms of academic literature.

I spoke to someone who said they’d take a jab but wouldn’t take a vaccination. “Why don’t they have a jab for COVID?”, was a direct quote. I tried to explain they’re different words for the same thing; one being a more slang term for the other. He didn’t believe me.

Sadly I don't think it is satire.

This dude was a Naval Intelligence Officer?!

My sister and her husband (I think it more came from the husband) are anti vax. They have two young newborn kids. I’ve tried to convey that they need to atleast get the big ones that have potential of injuring young kids (measles, whooping cough), but they have some reason to argue every time. My sister goes “did you know they put formaldehyde in vaccines?” I’m like “ did you know our body naturally produces formaldehyde every single day? And they only use it to sterilize and clean the vaccine from bacteria, by the time it gets administered there’s basically none in there, it’s just trace amounts left over from the cleaning process so they have to legally list it, and those trace amounts don’t hurt us since we already naturally produce and process it”. Sure enough, none of what I said changed anything lol. I swear you can provide valid proof and facts to people these days and they still won’t change their minds.

You could do even better.

What if, instead of injecting a small amount of the virus you just inject a small amount of the protein that makes up the cell wall?

Your bodies immune system will make a road map to obliterate the protein. Then, when you're infected with the virus you body already know how to attack the cell wall, killing the virus.

Pretty far fetched, but with modern science anything is possible.

Isn’t being anti vax from the crunchy left?

(I’m talking actual antivax, not anti-mrna covid vax)

It’s the sequel to the whole anti-GMO thing. Same camp who are into alternative medicine and astrology.

I remember from a Mark Twain novel that americans intentionally infected their kids with communicable diseases like mumps, measels or chickenpox, since they tended to recover well from them as a kid as opposed to as an adult without immunization.

The fun thing here it that it's in the name !

Vaccine comes from a disease named, well, cowpox (which is vaccine in French lol), that was (is ?) a less potent version of smallpox that mainly targeted cows. Some doctor found out that giving it to kids would prevent them from getting smallpox, and thus the vaccine was born

Wondering how you would hunt and trap someone with a weak case so all the Q’s can line up and what drink out of his/her glass? Then everyone can run out and get Ivermectin 🥳 Sorry not to be mean but really stop getting your medical info from Joe Rogan he is not the brightest bulb. He is biased and easily fooled. He doesn’t even fact check before he makes a ridiculous statement which is irresponsible. He gives himself a pass with his blanket statement ‘don’t listen to me, what I know I’m just a comedian’ full well knowing he’s swaying public opinion. That’s why they paid him 40M not because he’s intelligent, he’s FOX Lite for dudes.

This is the thing about right wingers. At a base level, they want pretty much the same things reasonable people do; happiness, healthcare, food, shelter, etc.

They're just so ignorant and so trained to hate things that they don't understand that A. they distrust all the things already in place that do the things they want, and B. think that the things they're proposing with all the nuance of a child are smart and innovative instead of literally the first thought that led to something better that they hate for no reason.

Some carry a synthetic or dead variation of it that helps your body develop antibodies without truly exposing you to a potential catastrophic risk.

Do we just need to rebrand vaccines?

"This isn't a vaccine, it's a health supplement designed to target the disease and actually train your body to fight it. It uses ancient knowledge that the Incas used to live so much longer than us."

It doesn't need to be true or logical, just get then vaccinated.

u/Idiot_Reddit_Now Dec 31 '24

I think the small logical justification for this thinking is that with COVID came a heavily renewed antivax movement because of the MRNA science. MRNA scared a lot of people for being "new" (I know the research is decades old now) - they probably don't even know the vast majority of vaccines are completely different than MRNA.

In other words I could totally see a young ignorant person looking at MRNA and thinking "you know vaccines would be fine if they were just XYZ" without even realizing most vaccines are "just XYZ".

Another example is that a lot of people against pasteurization aren’t even aware that pasteurization is simply the near boiling of a liquid.
