I would also say, Lizzo does what people think Beyonce does.

VACCINATE YA KIDS FFS

[cosmicmomma]

It’s a fucking rash not a death sentence, nobody has died from the measles in the last 15 years but over 100 people have died from the MMR vaccine in the last year alone. Don’t believe me? Look it up on the cdc website. Vaccines kill more then the actual disease. Which again is a fucking RASH.

[sppplendiferousfinch]

Actually according to the World Health Organization, in 2017 over 110,000 people globally died from measles. A majority of those were 5 and under. I tried searching the CDC website for deaths from the MMR vaccine but couldn’t find anything. If you locate that information from a reputable source, please leave a link so I can read up on that myself. Here is the link to WHO article I’ve reference above: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/measles

Also, measles isn’t “just a rash.” A rash appears after several days of exhibiting other symptoms such as fever, runny nose, and coughs amongst other things.

Also, it’s not “just a rash.” A rash is one of several things that measles causes. The rash usually appears, however, after several days of other symptoms such as a fever, runny nose, and cough amongst other things.

Measles

Measles remains one of the leading causes of death among young children globally, despite the availability of a safe and effective vaccine.

[cosmicmomma]

Those are third world statistics to scare us into vaccinating. If your malnourished even fucking diarrhea can kill you. Here’s a PDF file of all the vaccine injuries and deaths

https://www.hrsa.gov/sites/default/files/hrsa/vaccine-compensation/data/monthly-stats-aug-2018.pdf

Keep in mind only 1 to 10% of vaccine injuries and deaths are reported. This is admitted by the government itself.

[afloweroutofstone]

The PDF you linked to says that 61 people total have filed a claim to VICP over the last 30 years for the MMR vaccine-related deaths, and 2 more for the MMR-Varicella vaccine (pg. 6). That’s 63 claims made. 41.5% of total claims made on the MMR vaccine in that period were actually compensated while the rest are dismissed; we should probably assume that that compensation rate is lower for deaths than injuries since injuries from vaccine complications are far more common than deaths, but lets be generous and assume that the 41.5% figure holds for deaths too (I’m also being generous by not factoring in the much lower compensation rate for the MMR-Varicella vaccine). Rounded, that’s an estimated 26 death claims compensated by the VICP. The document also notes that compensation for a claim doesn’t actually mean the claim is correct, and that almost 80% of compensated claims end in negotiated settlement where the HHS does not determine that the vaccine was actually at fault (pg. 1). Without the actual figure, let’s be generous again and say that “almost 80%” means 75%.

Rounding up, that leaves us with a rough estimate of 7 deaths from the MMR and MMR-Varicella vaccine over the last 30 years, being as generous as possible to your claim. That gives us an average annual death rate of 0.23, in contrast to your claim of over 100 in the last year. Without all the rounding, it’s actually 0.22.

Even if your entirely uncited claim that the reporting rate is at 1-10% were true, this would give you 2.3-23 deaths a year. Even when doing everything possible to twist the numbers in your favor and factoring a statistic you made up into it, your claim is not even one-fourth correct according to your own source.

@cosmicmama I never did get a response to this

[memrants]

@afloweroutofstone she’s probably still looking for her wig.

[jolonchavis]

[memrants]

LOL. So, sorry Tom, that’s a Sprouse twin. Keep looking.

I hate designers like this so much it’s unreal

[memrants]

FYI: There is no “designers like this” when it comes to it. We are all “like this”. Because, you know, when you’re trying to make a living as a graphic designer and people devalue what you do and everything you paid college for, by asking files in powerpoint so they can edit, (that’s like going to a restaurant, asking to go in the kitchen to cook with the chef, but demand that you do it using the microwave oven because that’s the only thing you know how to use) or expect designers to work with non-existent resources (say a logo in a word doc) and all that at humiliating prices, IS VERY FRUSTRATING.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

[memrants]

So, who’s going to tell them.

I stopped watching Glee around the end of its third season. However, this scene; I have watched numerous times, even though I have not caught the actual episode. Naya Rivera was a force to be reckoned with and though she started as a side-character, she worked herself to the center of the show and managed to become a voice for, and against, a number of issues and realities. 

I don’t know who wrote this scene, but the fact that it was delivered by Rivera engrained it forever into my brain and it shall now forever remain as one of the best reads of all time.

Just be proud of who and what you are, unless you’re a racist, or a bigot, or an asshole of some sort. Then you should crawl under a rock, where you belong and let everyone else be. Bye!
