Quote:

1809: After the success of the smallpox vaccine was demonstrated, the Massachusetts legislature passed a law making smallpox vaccination compulsory. The state saw a drastic reduction in smallpox deaths over the next several decades.

1838: A growing anti-vaccination movement, fueled by complacency as smallpox became rare, lobbied for the repeal of the mandate. The legislature ultimately abolished the law.

1855: Following the mandate's repeal, smallpox returned with a vengeance, causing a significant increase in deaths. In response, Massachusetts once again passed compulsory vaccination laws, including new requirements for schoolchildren.

An 85-year-old man from Vienna died after he and his 82-year-old wife were reportedly trampled by a herd of cows while hiking in Austria.

Local police said the couple were hiking with their dog along a forest path in Ramsau am Dachstein, Styria when they encountered multiple cows, according to German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine and Swiss outlet Blick.

Witnesses said the herd, which included three calves and mother cows, were likely startled by the couple's dog, Blick reported.

Dangerous and occasionally fatal confrontations with cows are a common occurence during mountain hikes in Austria often prompted by dog, according to Frankfurter Allgemeine. The outlet reported that cows can percieve dogs as a threat.

In 2024, a woman walking with two small dogs was killed by a cow herd in the Salzburg, AFP reported.

If it’s a MAGA position that not every vaccine can be forced upon you because some POLITICIAN passes a law requiring such, then that is an example of a good MAGA policy. I am not against all MAGA points because YOU say they are bad. I can evaluate each one individually. I think I’ve gotten COVID, Shingrix, pneumovax, and flu shots in the last 12 months. Which one, if any, do you think the government should force me to get?

I do speak out against RFK. Read my posts. He’s an imbecile.

Answering Rx about ‘trans’ kids. To me it’s a simple informed consent issue. As mentioned here before, I’ve participated in many ‘reassignment’ surgeries. I am sure the informed consent process was extremely rigorous. I’m not so sure that it can be rigorous enough for a minor for the (in my mind) clearly elective irreversible procedure which is gender reassignment surgery.

And as far as religious exemptions….. if we truly want to protect our children there should be none.

Forced? Who's forced? Are cops going to bang down doors in the middle of the night and haul people away? Are people beign strapped to hospital gurneys and jabbed with vaxes? Please tell me who is "forced"?

You speak out against RFK Jr, but not about his vax policies. By allow MAGA to get a toehold, you've done your part in allowing MAGA to run the whole damn show. You are willing to allow MAGA to destroy public health in the US in exchange for the "good" MAGA supposedly does. Well done.

If you want to do away with religious exemptions, you'd need to also do away with the 1st Amendment. Since you also want to get rid of the 4th Amendment, that isn't too heavya a lift.
