At least 146 measles cases have been identified in West Texas so far, including 20 hospitalizations and one death.

    I know the article says this is just something going around on social media, but fuck me, sometimes I go to a dark place and think maybe measles should win. Maybe evolution needs to cull this dipshittery.

    Then I think of the kids who don’t have a choice. Why are people so fucking dumb?

      Okay here’s the issue, the parents who are pushing this are probably vaccinated for measles.

      As a smart kid born to absolutely dumb as living fuck parents, genetics does not mean two stupid parents automatically beget a stupid child.

      So in your proposed scenario you’re risking killing intelligent children whose worst crime was being born to absolute fucking idiots.

        If good genetic material can be trained to be stupid as fuck which is a high probability with the parents in question. It’s unfortunate for the children, but probably best for society.

          Look I just can’t help not responding to this. I need to emphasize this.

          This is not how genetics actually works at all and what you are suggesting is fucking eugenics rooted in a complete misunderstanding of genetics. Go peddle what amounts to Nazi shit elsewhere fucking please. They misunderstood genetics in the same fucking way.

            Maybe blow your load on the person who first inserted genetics into the conversation? I was just responding in-kind to them.

        A less intentionally broken education system would reduce the scale of the harm done.

          It isn’t the education system. American culture celebrates a proud level of ignorance. I see it here all the time.

            I suspect that’s an effect of the under-education of our country. A more functional education system would probably produce fewer proudly ignorant people.
