What would you do if your colleague did not believe in vaccination, thought carbon dating was wrong, we didn't go to the moon, and wanted to buy you a drink?
I've practically stopped drinking at company functions, simply to keep my distance. I'm afraid stupidity might be contagious...

Sounds like they're a few beers away from saying, "The jews."

@Ellis Oh he says he is an Israelite, and the Jews are cultural vultures! I honestly don't know what's inside his head... Maybe just a wire to keep his ears in place?

Carbon dating is nonsense. I've never met anyone who seriously dated or even just flirted up carbons.

@Fast-Nop Well said sir!

@rutee07 I know, right? It's like trying to explain 2+2=4 to a rock.

I'd castrate them to prevent the spread of stupidity.
I'd also publicly shame them and call them a flat-earther.

Start calling them "The stupid jews". behind thier backs. Then stay away from them, so the stupid don't stick to you.
Now, srsly - ask them why. Ask them why would they put thier kids at risk of a horrible death, why would they put themself, and people they don't know at risk? All for what exactly?
Tell them what they read on FB is bullshit, like everything else on FB.

only devrant has the true Truth!

@Root Valid suggestion. would have prevented that kid appearing in front of the US congress telling them - "my parents are too stupid, its a miracle that I'm alive".
He wouldn't be here to do that.

@magicMirror Who was that? I can't recall.

@Root there you go: https://google.com/search/...

@Fast-Nop for a moment I thought that carbon dating is a term similar to sugar dating

@electrineer Maybe it's using carbon atoms to calculate the date? Like, as many carbon atoms as to show current UNIX timestamp?

Just wait for them to get TBC and die painfully :) that's what I do. Fucking stubborn morons bringing back diseases forgotten decades ago....

I'm usually not that dark, but I sincerely hope these people will go extinct on their own. Nature will do its part unless they get their shit together. Every time I hear of or talk to a person who 'does not believe in vaccination' I immediately attach a mental label to them: 'dead man, leave him alone'

@netikras Unfortunately it doesn't happen. We have interfered with natural selection. Yes they get sick, but then we intervene and keep them in the gene pool...

@FuckJava but it does happen.. Unvaccinated people are causing epidemies and die massively. They're even banned from kindergardens to let their offspring die alone, without killing anyone else. Well at least in my country...

We already had an exotic epidemy this year taking out lots of unvaccineers this year [last month] :)

@netikras From your keyboard to all diseases' ears

@netikras that doesn't compute. The point of vaccination is immunity - how would unvaccinated kids infect the vaccinated ones? So why banning the unvaccinated ones from kindergarden?

And TBC vaccination in particular isn't even recommended e.g. in Germany, so that example doesn't wash either.

What's pretty much standard is vaccination against polio and tetanus, and that's because it works well, the risk is there, and complications are low (none of which holds true for TBC).

@Fast-Nop The point of vaccination is immunity, but immunity, no matter how strong, is not bulletproof. A good enoug immunity can protect your body against DI (dosis infectiva?) amount of bacteria/toxins. Place a person with an outstanding immunity among 20 sick people, all emitting bacteria, and the immunity won't hold long, because overall amount of that bacteria could easily become DMM (dosis mortalis minima) for this poor fellow.

Take you for an example. Stay in a cold wind by the river without a skarf for like an hour. Your body will lower its guard, relocate blod flows and make an entry gate for some bacteria. Tommorrow you might feel off, but the next day you're all back to normal. Now try staying at that spot for 10 hours. A bad infection is guaranteed, because you'll invite too many bacteria into your organism, immunity will not be cope with all of them soon enough to prevent any damage and proliferation.

it does compute after all

@Fast-Nop About TBC vaccine not being recommended.. Care to chare any refs? Cannot find anything suggesting WHO would not recommend them. All I can find is that REvaccinations are useless and not recommended, and that preggies are adviced to avoid vaccinations before labour

https://apps.who.int/iris/...

@netikras that's total nonsense, and that's not how vaccination works because in that case, it would not be able to prevent proliferation in the first place - and then it's worthless.

@netikras source: Robert-Koch-Institut Germany. These are the experts on anything even remotely related. Link in German only:

https://rki.de/SharedDocs/FAQ/...

@Fast-Nop :) Please, enlight me, how does vaccination work then?

@netikras I think you know how Google works.

@Fast-Nop Thank you for the link. Reasons mentioned in that article are region-speciffic. If Germany has low risk of TBC infections then there's no need for it indeed...

@Fast-Nop I do. But google is the worst place to look these things up.
I also had an extended course on immunology and microbiology. So please, if you are convinced my explanation is nonsense, enlighten me with the true, the correct explanation you have.

@netikras trolling me again, he? No dice this time. Keep that shit for yourself.

@Fast-Nop Do you feel everyone's trolling you, or just me? Look, I have better things to do than just play trolls. I am not trolling you nor anyone.

If you have that explanation - shoot. I'd be more than happy to look it up and compare to my notes.
If you were yelling gibberish out loud without anything to back it up - be a man and admit it instead of calling me a trol.

@netikras just you, and already for the second time. I gave the explanation in my first reply to you, just read it again and stop trolling.

@Fast-Nop this one?
@netikras that's total nonsense, and that's not how vaccination works because in that case, it would not be able to prevent proliferation in the first place - and then it's worthless

what kind of an explanation is that..? What are the mechanisms? What are the agents?

I guess I'm the one who's being trolled after all :)

@netikras no, that was the second one. Looks like you aren't even able to count. LOL

@Fast-Nop I used Google as you suggested and the following quote seems to be the consensus: no vaccine is 100% effective. Kinda contradicts your opinion.

@electrineer in case of flu (real one), it's so ineffective that it's even worthless. Of course that happens. But where it's so worthless that you still need to isolate people away who even MIGHT BECOME infected, it's not worth the effort.

The real problem is actually the other way around e.g. with three day measles. That's annoying as child, but mostly harmless. We didn't even care to vaccinate against that back then. I went through it as all of my generation and have life long immunity.

The kicker comes for unvaccinated girls who don't live through it b/c everyone around them is vaccinated, and if they THEN get the disease as pregnant adults, their child is in for serious damage.

@Fast-Nop again, you seriously should look things up. Not in google this time. Try who.org . It's a far more reliable source than some forums or blogs found on google.

Yelling that flu vaccine is worthless is misleading and irresponsible.

There is an angle in which your statement is correct, but it should be explored by someone who has a clue what the hell is vaccination, how it works and how immunity works. Not some ignorant fellow, who will disinform the community with his ignorance and loud words having nothing to back them by.

@netikras maybe YOU should look up things. Flu vaccination is useless because the experts try to guess around February what virus populations might become an issue in autumn. Thing is, that's a wild guess because you can't predict that, including mutations, and that's why flu vaccination generally doesn't work.

@netikras and btw, I got medical personal in the household, specialisation microbiology. Answer was that you totally didn't understand the matter and are talking BS.
