I understand how the calculation works. It is only ever meant as an approximation, not as a line in the sand diagnostic tool.

If you're a kid it comes on a motherfucking sugar cube., or as an oral drop (OPV), the latter used widely in the LDCs or as an injection. The only vaccination that can cause considerable scarring is anthrax, which I can guarantee you you haven't had. Smallpox can leave a mark, but given its usefulness seems shameful…

Only if you wore it to Crossfit.

Also bitches about the gub'mint but takes Medicare.

WTF you weren't vaccinated for polio? Are you fucking insane? Are your parents idiots? It hasn't been removed as a required vaccination anywhere in the world. GO NOW!

I think the commenter means "upper middle class school districts run by precious white women" as part of that metric.

Yes, because Jezebel is pseudo-post-modernist feminism.

TB is making a come back and is endemic in many homeless populations in the US, yet most Americans never got the vaccine. When an epidemic strikes I will be one of the few survivors. Polio could easily get the same kind of foothold.

Unfortunately a lot of the writers think being cutting and tearing people down is "edgy".

So?

No, you deserve to die, I got my shots, as many as I can.

You understand how averages work right? Most Americans who fulminate against BMI are usually grossly overweight but just like anit-vaxxers try to take a tiny subset of data and try to make it speak for an entire population.

*eye-roll* Do you know how averages work?

Smallpox has not been completely eliminated, given how often the NIH seems to find it unlabeled in old cabinets.

It's not even a remote shock to me that CA is a leader in non-vaccination.

Vaccinate your goddamn children.

You can sleep all you want but if you're ingesting 5000 cal/day you're probably also not burning that off. And no, your Brooklyn local, artisan twinkies do not count as quality.

Jellz that your pussy doesn't taste like Pepsi Cola?

So basically like half the commenters on that woman who was going on about ethnic women not showering often from last week.

As a homosexual I don't need to see them bone but I enjoy her work and his separately and unlike this writer I don't get upset when other people have sex.
