Most of these parents have the vaccines. The adults were manipulated by junk science peddled by fellow vaccinated morons.

The children deserve a better life.

Rural politics are not how you pick leaders for health sciences and community health.

There was a TikTok post about an advertisement for “blood-making pills for weak women” someone found in a newspaper from the 1890s and everybody seemed to think it was just an example of the weird misogyny of the day and age but no. Anemia was a massive public health concern. It always has been through history but part of the reason we have this idea of old timey women thought history being physical weak, chronically cold and pale and fainting is because they often they were. Anemia was also a massive problem for men in that day but even now it disproportionally affects people who menstruate. So tonics full of stimulants and “healthful vitamins” were marketed at young women in pages upon pages of advertisements in every newspaper. People generally felt like shit all the time back then.

I've seen old folk remedies for anemia, particularly cooking with cast iron and putting rusty nails in an apple, leaving them in overnight, then removing the nails and eating the rust-infused apple.

It was A Whole Thing.

What’s interesting is that that would have worked better than a lot of the ‘medicines’ being hawked during that time. To this day, adding a small chunk of iron to a cooking pot with a mild acid is being used to prevent iron deficient anemia.

[byjove]

Yep! Absolutely. It was a much more pervasive and deadly problem throughout history because of a lack of dietary variety and medical science not completely understanding the needs of the human body. Now it is less common because many foods are fortified with additional minerals and multivitamins are inexpensive and widely available.

people forget but before enriched flour people DIED like all the time of pellagra. a literal vitamin deficiency. people also died of tooth decay... until antibiotics and floriated water. people died and were paralyzed for life because they swam in the summer, or just drank water, or ate out at a restaurant of polio and cholera and typhoid until vaccines and effective health codes. it was expected that like a third of all kids born would die from things the MMR vaccine prevents.

learning about the history of public health is SO important to understanding why scary chemicals are WAY less scary than life without them.

i hate those posts that are like "what if your mother aborted you?" because it's LIKE. i value my mother as having her own agency above my existence simply because she came first. if she aborted me, id be fine with it because in the fucking hypothetical of un-existence & knowing, id rather her have access to safe abortion than having to carry & birth when she didn't want to like wtf kind of egotistical question is that. do u not value yr mother in the least. whatever joys you've gotten out of life aren't greater than yr mother's choice

God, even when they exist, I've lost track of how many times I've seen those services cut for lack of funding, turn out to be abuse schemes by some religious group, be in conflict with a law that means they can't actually help anyone...

[running-batty]

Thinking about the food bank that gave out pallets of rotting grapes to families for Thanksgiving. And they actually were trying their best to get produce into the hands of people but they only could offer what they had been given and it was a shit ton of grapes that hadn't sold.

Thinking about Job training that actually turned out to be a sweatshop where you folded towels for 15 cents an hour.

This king about the mental health office that refused to send my prescription to my pharmacy, lied about it and then threatened to call "my parole officer" when I was upset because most of their patients were court mandated to go there but I was not one of them. They had simply forgotten that and decided to play the same games they did to those who had no choice. As soon as they realized I did not have a parole officer they stopped playing around and immediately sent the prescription.

Thinking about how Ebt pays out less money than the minimum amount the government says is needed to live by almost half. How there's so many tricks in the application to try to block you from getting aid you need.

Thinking about how many services are cut off from you if you have a criminal record and how being homeless is illegal in so many places.

Thinking about how the only job bank in my county shut down a decade ago in the middle of a recession.

Thinking about how rental assistance across the country have waiting lists years out.

Thinking about how employment resources is often getting someone to berate you while showing you the exact same Monster.com listing you could find online yourself and that's it.

Thinking about all the studies that showed giving people money outright with no strings attached was the most effective way to uplift people out of poverty...

BIG LOBSTER NEWS apparently an orange lobster at the university of New England had babies and half of them are orange and half are normal

So the answer is yes. Weirdly colored lobsters do have weirdly colored babies.
