Blowing off steam with a useless rant
Jul. 15th, 2021 06:24 pmQuoting the idiot: July 9, 2021 = Newsmax host Rob Schmitt suggests vaccines are “against nature,” and some diseases are “supposed to wipe out a certain amount of people”
'ROB SCHMITT (HOST): When it comes to vaccines, and I really do want to make this clear, I mean, I'm not an anti-vaxxer. I'm not a pro-vaxxer. I'm somebody that's looking at this thing and trying to figure it out. I've got people in my family, very close to me, who I thought should get vaccinated because when you weigh the risks. But when it comes to vaccines in general, are you of the consensus that it could potentially take a long time to really know what a vaccination does to people in some cases?'
'SCHMITT: You know, one thing I've always thought, and maybe you can guide me on this because, obviously, I'm not a doctor. But I've always thought about vaccines, and I always think about just nature, and the way everything works. And I feel like a vaccination in a weird way is just generally kind of going against nature. Like, I mean, if there is some disease out there -- maybe there's just an ebb and flow to life where something's supposed to wipe out a certain amount of people, and that's just kind of the way evolution goes. Vaccines kind of stand in the way of that. Do you follow what I'm saying? Does that make sense to somebody in medicine?'
THIS PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH. Fine, don't want vaccines, think they're unnatural - then you don't need them. Let's take them and the science that brought them about away.
So there you are - IF you are the lucky 1 person in 7 still alive. 6 billion people are dead. Most of the 1 billion left are in Asia - China, Japan, Malaysia, India. AND I'M BEING GENEROUS, BECAUSE IN THE PRE-INDUSTRIALIZATION WORLD OF THE 1600'S THE WORLD POPULATION WAS LESS THAN 600 MILLION.

There are no vaccines. There is no electricity, because - without vaccines - there is no industry. You can't have heaps of sweaty bodies in a factory making cars, cell phones, computers or TVs when every passing plague kills so many of them that the there just are not BODIES enough to craft your T-shirt.
So you're probably a farmer, digging at the soil or raising animals & spending 10+ hours a day doing that. You have a lot of kids because more than half of them will die before reaching adulthood. You will be around 5 foot tall, due to malnutrition. You have crappy teeth, since there's no dental care other than using tooth sticks & hygiene is something only the fortunate possess.
You probably die around age 30 & are lucky to reach age 40. The leading causes for your death will be from an infected/impacted tooth or a contagious disease or from a water borne illness, since there is no effective sanitation, along with a lack of health care due to no science-based medicine.
