BLOOD CIRCLE
So glad that non-scouts can appreciate the term blood circle properly.
Because smallpox used to kill about 30% of everyone who caught it. The successful vaccine program run by the world’s medical community means that no one will ever die of smallpox ever again.
Because rabies is 100% fatal without a vaccine. No one needs to die of rabies ever again. It is entirely preventable.
Because 1-2 in 1000 who get measles, die. Vaccines let us contain outbreaks or fully wipe them out. There is no specific treatment for the disease once you have it. Your immune system either wins or you die.
We like vaccines because vaccines save lives and raise our standard of living.
My mother, now in her 70s, talks about how her mother wept for joy when her children received the polio vaccine. Because she didn’t have to be afraid of polio anymore.
A 2019 study found that measles can cause “immune amnesia”, cutting your antibodies by 10%, up to almost 75%. Meaning, you’ve become that much more vulnerable to a whole slew of illnesses that you used to be protected from, and it doesn’t matter if you acquired the antibodies via a vaccine or recovering from an illnesses - they are gone. All those shots you got as a baby? The boosters you got through grade school and as an adult, including the annual flu shot? Guess what: measles most likely wiped your body’s immune memory of those and you’ll have to get them all. Over. Again.
This is one of those posts that always prompts me to remind folks- many of the vaccines you received as a child need adult boosters! It’s worth checking to make sure you’re up to date on these!
See I did not know this in my 20s, and I didn’t have health insurance so I never saw doctors.
As a result of this and goddamn antivaxxers I got whooping cough in goddamn 2010. Now, this is less dangerous than many things you will get vaccinated for if you stay on top of things. But I am dead serious when I tell you I broke one of my ribs from coughing too hard. Did you know that was a thing? Because I hadn’t till it happened to me, and friend it was not a good time.
Vaccines save lives. And they save you from other miserable things as well. Please check to see if you’re up to date.
Many people have told me over the years that it’s extremely difficult to find friends or even fellow fat people who are fat positive. So I figured I would try to help with that problem by making this post. If you support fat liberation and are open to random users sending you an ask/message to talk or become friends, then like, reblog, or reply to this post. No one is obligated to share this post (I hate writing posts that ask for notes). This is just the easiest way to get a list of people who are fat positive and would like to make other fat positive friends. People of any weight can add themself to this list. The only requirement is supporting fat liberation and being open to friendship and/or conversation. I hope this post will help!
I knew the movement has existed since the 1960s, but this is my first time meeting someone who has been fighting for more than the past 5-10 years. You give me hope. Thank you
Seeing how much further things have been taken by the next generations gives me hope, as well. Thank YOU.
