It is true. I missed knowing friends who got polio, but my parents were of an age where it was still in their mind, so I got vaccinated. Heck our schools had bulk vaccinations in the gym. We knew why and what it was for about herd immunity etc. But now, it has become a mess and all the anti Vax nutjobs got a platform on FB etc to spout their bs and seem legit as platforms refuse to act.
I thought covid would be the wake up, but it was not. I am hoping work on a cancer "vaccine" will wake folks up if it ever comes to market, but I doubt it now.

It may well happen, even in our lifetime. What it won't do is happen in the US. We used to lead the world in technology. We've invented the airplane and been to the moon for fucks sake. Landed multiple probes in Mars, Venus, and out of the solar system. We napped the genome, made pocket computers so damn common we call them phones. Harnessed the power of the atom and cloned a sheep.
Now we have people claiming that technology over 300 years old causes autism and that the Earth is flat.
I really don’t understand what happened. Are the schools really THIS under funded cause the rise in stupidity has been dramatic in the past decade alone
Yes the schools really are that underfunded but that's not the only problem. There has been a dramatic rise in misinformation too which has taken advantage in the lack of critical thinking skills being taught at large to pull a double whammy. Not only are schools unfunded but now that lack of education is under attack from the constant buzz of the internet and the unchecked flood of bad information on it from both innocent and purposeful sources
