Fail Quotes

[R.E.H.W.R.]

Not that I agree with any of the following, but:

1. Some people believe that if something is important enough to say, you need to say it to them, not text, call, or e-mail. These are usually the people hanging around Starbucks loudly complaining about everybody being on their smart phones.

2. Other people feel that it (texting) lacks the capability of showing the correct amount of empathy the situation requires.  Of course, in some cases, that may not be a bad thing, like when the person delivering the news lacks the capability of showing...

Or the person has a crappy phone plan that makes texting cheaper or said receiver is imfamous for not answering the phone i.e. my mother.

Also, if it's something like an earthquake, they've found that the texts and tweets travel faster than the seismic waves, so people can get at least a LITTLE notice ahead of time.

Lots of willful ignorance concerning libertarianism and anarchocapitalism here. Of particular note:

It always cracks me up that ancaps and libertarians consistently express distaste of statists but are totally cool with people who own lots of property circling it with a fence and having complete control over it.

And:

Capitalism is extremely hierarchical. Property owners and bosses are types of rulers, so I think that makes property and capitalism incompatible with anarchism. Not to mention that it was anti-capitalist for over a hundred years before capitalists started calling them themselves anarchists despite having almost the opposite ideology. With anarchism based on a rejection of private property and other hierarchies, and ancap ideology based on absolute property rights, it's pretty hard to understand why they want to be called anarchists.

How do these people not understand property rights? You have a right to your body. You have a right to what your body produces. You have a right to defend that as well as your life and liberty. How can that not be any simpler?

The first quote is also blatant projection.  THAT'S WHAT GOVERNMENT DOES!

So, I was transcribing an interview for some sort of "call a psycho homeopath" program Health Canada apparently has going on.

So, this "expert" was telling this woman how to treat tetanus.

Among the the things she says:

"Because we carry the tetanus bacteria in our guts, and it's common in our environment, many people develop a passive immunity." Then not a minute later, she says, "Since the disease is not known to impart immunity, vaccination is questionable." Firstly, if I understand correctly, since it is a bacterial infection, surviving it would impart some immunity, and vaccination is shown to be relatively effective. Secondly, if catching the disease won't give you immunity and being immunized won't give you immunity, than it logically follows that random environmental exposure won't either.

"Since antibodies don't begin to increase until four days after vaccination, vaccination at the time of infection is useless." Well, yeah, it's a tetanus vaccination, not a tetanus treatment. You have to have the vaccination BEFORE you're exposed to the disease, which is why it's administered on a fixed schedule, at least for those under 18. (You're actually supposed to get a booster every 10 years after that, but since you're not in school...)

This is related to the "I got the flu vaccine and got sick from it" crapola. Since it can take days for the body to generate an immunity, if you were infected at the time or slightly earlier then guess what? You've got the flu. So "I got the flu vaccine and 3 days later I was sick" does NOT mean you got sick from the vaccine, as that isn't enough time for the vaccine to do ANYTHING, even if it DID make you sick (which it doesn't). It means you ALREADY HAD THE FLU.

And of course, if you get a flu strain that isn't one of the 3 or 4 included in the vaccine, then yes, you got the flu despite getting the vaccine. That's how it works!

The one time I got a flu vaccine, I was sick for the next six months afterwards with a nasty cough.   The doctor told me I was probably allergic to the vaccine or something.  Hence, I haven't gotten a flu shot since (or had that chronic cough issue since. ).  Which is just as well.  I don't leave the house that often (sadly. ) so it's not like I'm going to infect anybody, and the few times I have gotten the flu, it was typically not that bad with the worst of it over in a day or two.

That being said, if it was a vaccine for something more severe like hepatitus, smallpox, or polio, I'd be first in line to get that vaccine, risks by damned!
