COVID vaccines are deadly but Trump deserves a Nobel for them.

Maybe it was the brain worm that said it. Or maybe his ventriloquistic bear?

Sadly Cassidy is the one man many of us expected to save the country from this fate.

He’s even retiring. That vote he regrets will be the first line of his obituary.

Tell us you can’t defend Kennedy on the merits without telling us you can’t defend Kennedy on the merits.

Also he seems to be unfamiliar with Senator Cassidy’s record.

Anti-Vax Cartoon from 1892.

Curious, I looked up which vaccine was available in 1892. The only widespread vaccine at that time was for smallpox, first developed by Edward Jenner in 1796 using cowpox virus as protection against the deadlier disease.

Before vaccination, smallpox was one of humanity’s most feared and devastating diseases. It had a mortality rate of about 30% on average (though some outbreaks were far worse), and those who survived were often left with severe scarring or blindness.

Historians and epidemiologists can’t calculate an exact total, but estimates show that hundreds of millions, likely well over half a billion people, perished from smallpox across recorded history.
