gettheledout: sounds logical

Maynard: It had taken 105 years after the discovery of the typhoid bacterium to develop a vaccine for typhoid. For whooping cough (pertussis) it had taken 89 years; for polio and measles 47 and 42 years respectively. But the time lag was getting shorter. It had only taken 16 years from the discovery of the hepatitis B virus to the development of a vaccine. Almost thirty years after the discovery of HIV, however, a truly preventive HIV vaccine is clearly still many years ahead. Researchers previously optimistic about a vaccine have tempered their optimism in the last decade. Nonetheless the development of a vaccine for such a novel and difficult pathogen, with only a quarter-century of knowledge to work with, is not necessarily ‘behind schedule’.

snippy: thats nice. shouldn't you be out taking a dump on something?

Maynard: I'm taking requests.

snippy: I request that you take a dump on kate brown please.

Maynard: What do you have against the great governor of your state?

snippy: the nazi bitch is trying to force vaccines down our kids throats. insane eh?

Riverrat: Maybe that's why you don't like vaccines, you've been taking them wrong. They are normally a shot in the arm, Nothing down the throat.

snippy: rats do you get the flu shot every year like maynard?

gettheledout: I do. Pretty much get the flu every year too....

snippy: ive read where they have to guess the next years flu ahead of time. then sequence the numbers for the H and N proteins. flu virus genome is made of RNA thats extra tricky.

Maynard: The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons also believe that HIV doesn't cause AIDS, illegal aliens cause leprosy, Cutting carbon emissions represents a grave threat to global health, that vaccines cause autism, and are against Peer Review and think computers are an ominous threat.

snippy: no shit? im liking them more and more.
