Quoted from radium:

Plus I hate needles!

"I love needles," said no one. Ever.

Quoted from wayout440:

That wasn't a question that was asked. Carlin said "cover the toilet seat" - meaning use those paper covers. The answer is no, I don't use the covers if it's clean. If there's standing liquid, I'll probably just go elsewhere.

What if there is dookie on it?

#216 6 years ago

Directly from that website:

What causes Guillain-Barré syndrome?
No one yet knows why Guillain-Barré — which is not contagious — strikes some people and not others. Nor does anyone know exactly what sets the disease in motion.

Quoted from jgentry:

It's sad that dogs get treated better then humans and that I can make decent money doing the same things better in many cases for 1/50th the cost of human medicine.

That's why I get all my medical treatment from the local vet. Nice guy, too.

Quoted from fosaisu:

How else can you even begin to understand the never ending store of loopy shit that people have believed (and done in furtherance of those beliefs) over the years?

Quoted from Hazoff:

eat healthy lots of fruit and Veg. Vitamin C at night and D in the morning I never get sick.

And don't forget to line the toilet seat when using public restrooms.

Quoted from SadSack:

I've had objective testing and yes, I am just exactly as smart as I think I am.

Quoted from SadSack:

I probably have the most diverse field of engineering experience of anyone you've ever met in your life.

Quoted from SadSack:

And then I've been self-employed successfully for the last 20 years, have a great family, a beautiful wife and an 811/850 credit score.

I bet you are a lot of fun at parties.

Quoted from SadSack:

BTW, my field of engineering is manufacturing robotics, cueing theory

Do you mean "queuing theory?"

#1462 4 years ago

With a credit score like that, I can bet that you are most certainly an anti-vaxxer.

(At least that's what this thread is leading me to believe.)

Unless you also have a bulldog, two Porsches, a 70 inch 4k screen, I'm not impressed.

I thought this was a very interesting article on the development of the flu vaccine:

Quoted from madtown:

I am not putting MY health at risk for anyone, especially for something i am not worried about actually contracting.

Quoted from madtown:

...ironic considering i work in the healthcare field and put my life at risk to help others.

So, you are willing to put your life at risk, but not your health? Interesting angle.

#1753 4 years ago
Quoted from madtown:

Correct...but i get paid to put my life at risk....the risk/benefit ratio is much, much better than vaccines.

So, if I paid you to get a vaccine, you'd do it? What's the price?

Quoted from madtown:

Because bill gates and warren buffet have more money then brain cells.

Quoted from madtown:

Medical doctors are wrong all of the time.

Quoted from o-din:

Sure, science has made great strides in medicine, but at the same time science is also responsible for all weapons of mass destruction, biological or otherwise. I can't and won't seperate the two. They are all a result of science.

So, Gates, Buffet, scientists, and medical professionals are not to be believed/trusted, but some internet warrior that hosts www.vaccineskillchildren.com is perfectly legit. Got it.

#1999 4 years ago
Quoted from jgentry:

Do what ever you want, just be responsible and stay home and away from people at high risk if you do get sick.

And therein lies some of the rub.

"Symptoms can begin about 2 days (but can range from 1 to 4 days) after the virus enters the body. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick. Some people can be infected with the flu virus but have no symptoms. During this time, those people may still spread the virus to others."

(And those that think that "CDC" is a four-letter word, feel free to ignore.)

#2000 4 years ago
Quoted from o-din:Gat a shot if you like, or don't if you don't. Plain and simple. I don't see the point in debating that.

Can we at least agree that this is the funniest post on this thread, even if not totally relevant to what it was addressing?

(We still love you, O-din.)

Quoted from o-din:

A few snorts of whisky seems to work for me.

Quoted from madtown:

One thing i can guarentee is my dick being the cleanest thing in a public restroom!

So now instead of comparing my dick size to others, I now have to compare how clean it is to others?
