    I feel bad for the kids. They don’t deserve to die at the hands of incompetent parents.

    One of the downsides of disrupting natural selection is that now we are keeping some people alive that probably should be taken by natural causes before they were able to replicate.

    For a second I thought that baby was boiling, but then I remembered Fahrenheit exists 😂

    The annoyingly stupid part is that for most fevers that don’t approach the “You need to go to the ER right now” point it’s actually best to simply let it run it’s course and not try to “break” it with drugs since a fever is your body’s own defense mechanism.

    But these antivaxxers will do this stupid shit, then go “see it works” and then try to apply it to everything else

          In Celsius, 40º+ deserves a hospital visit (35-36º is the usual body temp). If you somehow manage to get it to 100º, please take pictures, I’m pretty sure the body would glow

      Eligible doesn’t mean registered. A lot of these people are not big fans of things like government registries

        A lot of these people do whatever their husbands tell them. Zero sense of self. They were raised to be obedient to their man and nothing more.

          No one is arguing any different. Just pointing out the assertion that they are eligible to vote is in determinate.

          you would be surprised how much folk ‘wisdom’ gets passed down through generations and continues to thrive. the thinking there being that natural is good because it can’t harm you (ignore mushrooms and beladonna, though). why take a pill produced in a lab somewhere, when you can just shove some onions in a sock?

          I suspect that this is just communication breakdown, from times when people used herbs for medicinal purposes (liquorice root, for example, acts as an antiinflammatory by inhibiting breakdown of cortisol, and willow bark contains salicylic acid, a rough version of aspirin - the latter being acetylsalicylic acid, a derivative of it). but I think even the old witch in the woods would disapprove of onions in socks.
