Serious post I would like people to spread!

This is Naomi Schwartz, she is a 14-year-old girl from Palm Beach Florida who is battling a rare form of cancer which requires a bone marrow transplant. She is mixed race, her mother is a brown Puerto Rican woman and her father is Ashkenazi Jewish, and as a result, currently has no matches in her family or in bone marrow databases. Naomi’s family ran a drive to try to find a match for her, but that’s no guarantee she will find one. I thought I would use my platform here to encourage people or people you know, especially with a similar background to Naomi, to register on bethematch.org.

A very important bone marrow donor drive-thru event is being held Saturday for a local teen. Earlier this year, 14-year-old Naomi Schwartz w

I don’t usually add onto posts but I would like to say that I recently had a bone marrow transplant due to cancer as well. I learned a lot about bone marrow transplants due to this and it’s something that was totally off my radar until I was in it. The Bone Marrow donor pool is extremely white. On average a white person has a 77% chance of finding a match in the pool, it drops significantly for people of different ethnicities. My specific “white european” genetics made my chance personally 93% and because my sister wasn’t a match mine came from the registry and they were a “perfect” match, this literally saved my life. I hope dearly that Naomi can find a donor, I also hope that you consider sending a away for a kit if you can and especially if you can help widen the donor pool. It’s super easy, and it means life or death for those of us handed a very difficult kind of cancer or other rare diseases.

This is from the be the match site giving the average stats for people by ethnicity:

Relevant to Naomi, It said in the article that people with a mixed ethnic background have a 15% chance of finding a donor match, also!

All it takes is a quick and easy sample of your DNA through a swab test. Through 5 simple steps, you can join Australia's Donor Registry and

Many bone marrow donor registries also look internationally. In Australia you can sign up at Strength To Give.

2: an infographic with the header, “Likelihood of finding a Matched Adult Donor on the Be The Match Registry®️ by Patient Ethnicity*”. the note at the bottom reads, “*Patients are most likely to match an adult donor of their own ethnic background.” the infographic shows the following statistics:

African American or Black - 23%

Asian or Pacific Islander - 41%

Hispanic or Latino - 46%

[Native American] or Alaska Native - 57%

White - 77%]

WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU AMERICAN EDUCATION SYSTEM?!!

Here in Australia we just explain how seatbelts work and about not getting into cars with drunk drivers but okay America.

#i think its because teenagers are kinda dumb and think theyre invincible#at least my students are#so you have to show them death to smack it into their heads that they can actually die

You clearly don’t have to, since we get along just fine without doing it. This just sounds like a great way to traumatise kids but the stats say that American kids tend to come out of high school with PTSD anyway so in for a penny I guess. Is there any data to suggest that this affects teen road accident statistics in any way or did someone just decide it sounded cool and impactful one day?

If this is a common US thing at all (and I doubt it - in fact I’d guess some or all of these tweets are complete fabrications), it’s recent. This didn’t happen when I went to high school and I’ve never personally heard of it happening anywhere else either.

moral-autism

Here’s a Wikipedia article about one such program. My high school did it. Also they lie about statistics. And at my school, people eulogized themselves and we were supposed to act respectful during it.

Also, the teachers were supposed to keep the scheduling a secret, but the German instructor warned us.

chill-but-illl

This is 100% a real thing! Rocky mntn and Midwest area high schools generally all do this (from discussion between myself and friends from other parts of the country). Also those tweets are NOT exaggerating - that’s really what it’s like

The other thing about measles is that it resets your body’s memory of other diseases. So all those times you’ve gotten sick? Your body’s memory cells no longer remember those illnesses, so even if you get the same type of illness again your body will react like it’s the first time you’ve been sick.

It’s so much worse than “just a disease”.

antivaxxers also, in part, helped sabotaged the human lyme disease vaccine for lyme disease caused by borrelia burgdorferi infection (until 2016 the only known species of lyme disease causing bacteria in the USA). In 1998, the first lyme disease vaccine for the strain of the bacteria prevalent in the USA licensed. It passed clinical trials and was shown to be safe and effective; it was between 76 and 92% effective at preventing lyme disease with 3 injections. Antivaxxers proceeded to abuse the adverse affect reporting system, often complaining of arthritis, and this caused media and general hysteria about the vaccine. if you remember the flu vaccine hysteria around the swine flu epidemic, it was kind of like that. despite double-blind trials conducted both before and after licensing, that was unable to support their claims and instead displaying that the vaccine was safe and effective, the damage was done, and the vaccine was shelved in the USA. you can get a lyme disease vaccine in Europe, but Europe has a different strain of the bacteria that causes lyme disease.

Lyme disease can become very serious, it can infect the nervous system and cause neurological problems especially in young children who are often bitten on the head or the neck, undiagnosed it can cause chronic health issues that mimic other diseases. Without safe prophylactic measures beyond trying to minimize contact w ticks, this has driven people who have had lyme disease, have chronic effects from mass-disseminated lyme disease infection, or people who believe they have chronic lyme disease to go to quack doctors and undergo unsafe, unapproved medical treatment in an attempt to stop suffering.

This would not be happening on the scale that it is if antivaxxers didn’t straight up execute a supervillain plot to sabotage the lyme disease vaccine. the vaccine was licensed in december 1998, which was the year andrew wakefield published his fraudulent research on the MMR vaccine
