Today I went into get my annual flu shot. I looked directly at the nurse as she was prepping my arm and said: Me: So, is this the shot that gives me the autisms? Her: No, that would be the TDap (?) and I only give them to very intelligent people. [laughing maniacally] Me: So, what Im not smart enough for the autisms? Her: You seem smart enough, but I dont think you are rainman Me: Ah yes, good point. Ill just take the regular one. Ten minutes later, my arm started to tingle and my doctor walked in. Her: So, is anything wrong with you today before your doctor visit. Me: Yeah, my arm is tingling. Is that the dead baby cells. Her: *shakes head in disgust* No... *starts explaining why autism and vaccines are not related* Me: dont worry, I make fun of the ignorant people that believe the internet over people that study it for years. An hour later, I am back with my friends. Relating the story and a mother gets up. Her: I dont believe in herd immunity. Its a crock. I dont make my baby get medical shots anymore after the age of 2 because all of the important shots were already given. Me: Seriously? *squinting* Her: yeah, if people believe in herd immunity then you should have no problem with my kid not having those shots. *my friends recoil in horror at the stupid shit that she just said because two were immunologists, one was a biology major, and another was a chemist. It is just starting to get good* Me: Yes, we are not overly concerned about them. What about my grandmother that cannot get the shots because of a compromised immune system. Her: I just wont bring her anywhere near any of those people. Friend: Lets get the bubble out for her kid Me: Or here is another, how about the fact that we dont have smallpox or polio. How do you think that was not in existence anymore? Immunologist: Polio was on stage to disappear until parents started to not give their kids vaccines for it. Her: Oh because everyone got the shot and it no longer had anyone to infect. Me: Very good, now what is that called. Her: *gets up, walks away without any goodbye* Immunologist: Make sure when you say some stupid shit, that you are talking with educated people earning their bachelors or masters degrees in medical studies or chemistry. That ended in a pretty good morning for me.
