  You know, looking at that little scarring in the context of the vaccine, I’m reminded that I heard that there’s this famous idea that milk maidens are historically seen as the very definition of pretty, and that the idea stems from the fact that they tended to get cowpox, which protected them from smallpox.

  So, basically, before smallpox vaccines, the typical woman was so badly scarred somewhere visible like her face by smallpox that a woman who simply didn’t have those scars would be considered extremely pretty.

    The Latin word for cow is “vacca,” which is where the word “vaccine” comes from.

  my mom has the vaccine mark! I remember asking her about it as a young kid and that being the first time I ever learned about vaccines. the idea that we “use germs to train our immune systems to fight them” was so cool to me. no wonder I went into biochem when i grew up (courtesy of having parents who didn’t let me die to preventable diseases lol)

  Please put a nsfw tag on this. I was on the bus and when I saw this I started screaming in pure fear. Everyone else was giving me concerned looks and were saying things like “what’s going on?” and “are you okay sir?”. The fear I felt seeing this horrible image gave me heart palpitations, forcing me drop my phone. Now there’s an entire bus of terrified people screaming in terror from this one image. Even the bus driver saw a single pixel of the image from the mirror causing so much terror that he swerved the bus straight into an orphanage. So many poor children were injured in the crash, but was worse: many of them saw the image. This is all your fault. Dozens of poor orphan children have been forever and irrecoverably traumatized because of your ignorance to put a nsfw tag on this.

    Stop dropping your phone on the fucking train

    Every morning I clock into work, and 12 hours later I clock out covered in jizz because someone dropped their phone while looking at porn and turned the whole trip into a goddamn gangbang. I can’t take it anymore. I’m literally knee deep in spunk by the end of the day, because all you motherfuckers are apparently lubing up your hands and can’t get a grip. We’ve all had to start wearing blindfolds when we exit the front so we don’t accidentally get a peak and start furiously cranking our cocks to “thugposts” or “femboys” or whatever the newest horny fad is.

    For the love of god, stop dropping your phone on the fucking train.

  For all the circlejerk, smallpox vaccines used to leave very large massive scar. As if someone put out a sigarette on your shoulder. Newer versions of it no longer do this, but the older versions scar can get very ugly.

    My mother has one; a little spot on her arm where her skin just, kind of wrinkles inward a little. It doesn’t stand proud like a wound that scabbed over, it’s sunken in.

    I’m a millennial, I’m not vaccinated against smallpox, it was certified eradicated 5 years before I was born.

    I remember reading that some folks (actresses, models) would get vaccinated in less conspicuous places, like the inner thigh, but now I can’t find any documentation for it.

    • RebekahWSD@lemmy.world ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I was actually talking to my mother about her vaccine scar today. She says she had a friend who got vaccinated the same time she did. But her friends mother was super vain, so told the vaccinator guy to give her daughter the shot on her thigh, so a swim suit would cover it.

      But outer thigh is lower than where bathing suits show so you saw the scar anyway, and the mother was pissed. Mother’s friend didn’t care though, since she was a kid.

  My mother has this scar, when she was vaccinated on a reservation.

  She also remembers they’d give you a sugar cube with a different vaccine on it at the time. She tried to get it multiple times.

    i think sugar cube was the polio vaccine, i believe they use that for polio virus.

      She agrees, it was the polio vaccine in the sugar cube. She was also unable to get a second cube, as the small white girl in the bright red coat was very distinctive and they told her to stop trying to get another cube.

  Serious question - what happened where so many people decided that disease and premature death is superior to vaccination?

  source

  • just_an_average_joe@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    In Pakistan and Afghanistan CIA used vaccine drives as a cover up to collect information like DNA to look for bin laden. This is why these 2 countries are the only places where polio still exists. This also created mistrusts worldwide as well.

    And the most outragious part is, some people raised the concerns in the admin that this would happen, but this was CIA and national security trumps everything sso they went with it anyways.

    Vaccines worked too well and stupid idiots that should be dead are alive.

    source
  • NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I wonder if it’s that most of us alive today have very little memory of people who suffered the diseases themselves. Our parents and grandparents knew people who died or had long-term negative effects from measles, polio, smalllpox, etc.

    We are insulated from that to the point where some flirt with the idea that maybe the disease isn’t that bad. Combine that with mistrust in the medical system and nobody enjoying getting a needle, and you have some people that WANT vaccines to be a bust to justify avoiding something they don’t want to do.

      During the 50s, it was common to return to school in the fall, to find out 1 or 2 classmates had died of polio over the summer.

      My wife’s family still talks about little Buzz, a cousin who died of polio in the backseat of his car, as his Dad raced to the hospital. It was in the 50s, and the old folks in the family would talk of it like it was yesterday.

      source
  • Brutticus@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    It’s the confluence of several factor, but essentially, suspicion of the Medical Industrial Complex has been building since the mid 80s. Medical care is so expensive and the MIC so squirrely that it always had people desperately looking for ways around it, which opens the door to con artists. In the mid 90s, discredited now but not at this point in the story British doctor Andrew Wakefield was invested in (and I think part inventor of?) some new vax that targeted one of the components of MMR. In order to market it, he published a paper suggesting (quite softly iirc) that the MMR had some flaws, and advocating for parental choice to vax for each separately.

    This is hogwash. The MMR has been safe and in use for something like 100 years (possibly more?). Wakefield was disgraced for this, and when the paper was cherry picked (even after the Lancet retracted it) and misquoted by the then still quite powerful but not yet in their final form anti-vaxxer movement, the disgraced Wakefield had to pivot to a new grift; speaking to Anti vaxxer gatherings, and lending them credibility to those who did not know the story (for which he did have medical license revoked).

    So it follows with all of society’s issues in the 2020s; Instead of fixing a severe systemic issues, like say, our broken medical system which bankrupts people or kills them because they cant afford life saving medicine, which might involve curtailing the power of capitalists, blame instead pivots to the products instead, which people can understand. They understand their child is dying and they cant afford it, while maybe not questioning why. This opens the door to con men, which starts a cycle, as conmen want to open the door further. The conmen become the power, and then cheating just becomes business, and an army of marks becomes numerous enough that RFK becomes secretary of health, and your mom dies in a hospital hooked up to a ventilator refusing treatment because a conman said a fucking horse dewormer that he owned shares in would protect her.

    I don’t know if I have any physical scars from chickenpox, but the misery of having it is one of my earliest memories.

    I recall sitting in the bathroom, everything was itching and painful, the light was off, but what little light there was bored into my head.

    I didn’t know that there even was a vaccine for chickenpox until I was in my 20s. I was so little, who in their right mind is okay with their child going through that? My mother is an anti-vaxxer and honestly I loathe her for that.

      I’m old enough that there actually wasn’t a chickenpox vaccine until after I’d already had it. Thankfully, my case wasn’t nearly as miserable as what you’ve described. I just got kinda itchy all over and got to stay in bed watching TV for like a week.
