This is Idaho in 20 years. If they successfully spread this madness, it could be the whole US.

Where do i buy iron lung stocks?
Ever since i saw a movie as a kid with a guy in an iron lung, these apparatuses fascinated me. The mix of then modern technology and the name and the kinda brutal look of it, i always wanted one to hang on a wall or something.
I had no idea i might have to use one at some point. It's like they say, if America gets a cold, the whole world gets sick. And they are bleeding out of their asses right now. Thanks
They won't even enact the most basic gun regulations so why do you think they'd care if their kids died of polio?
“It’s literally landmark,”
"Literally."
I guess a gravestone is sort of a landmark. Idaho will be needing a lot more of those.
She transitioned to work as a homeopath and advocate, ultimately returning to her home state of Idaho.
Well, if she's a homeopath, then surely she must have informed medical views.
Manookian has said publicly that she thinks vaccines are “poison for profit,” that continuing to let daycares require vaccination would “put our children on the chopping block,” that measles is “positive for the body,” that the virus protects against cancer, and that it can send people “into total remission”—an assertion she made on an Idaho wellness center’s podcast in April.
Manookian told ProPublica she believes infectious diseases have been made “the bogeyman.”
Well, I guess that claiming that measles are good for you and that infectious disease has been made a boogeyman is consistent with opposing vaccines.
I do have to say that "COVID-19 cures cancer and is fantastic" is a new one on me, though.
EDIT: Wait, sorry. It sounds like she's claiming that measles cures cancer, not COVID-19. Still a new one on me.
If the patient dies of measles, then, technically, they're now immune from cancer.
Well, probably.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrietta_Lacks
Henrietta Lacks (born Loretta Pleasant; August 1, 1920 – October 4, 1951)[2] was an African-American woman[5] whose cancer cells are the source of the HeLa cell line, the first immortalized human cell line[B] and one of the most important cell lines in medical research. An immortalized cell line reproduces indefinitely under specific conditions, and the HeLa cell line continues to be a source of invaluable medical data to the present day.[7][8]
Wow. She sounds clinically insane. Up is down, left is right.
Manookian just hates competition for her homeopath profits.
Almost makes me wish I wasn't vaccinated. I'd get the measles and spend the whole time walking through every Walmart and Waffle House in Idaho.
The act makes it illegal for state and local governments, private businesses, employers, schools, and daycares to require anyone to take a vaccine or receive any other “medical intervention.”
So if I ran a PRIVATE daycare, I couldn't refuse to accept people who weren't vaccinated? I knew this was stupid, it always, but I am just blown away by how stupid. The layers of dumb are confusing.
I thought ObGyns were already fleeing Idaho. Maybe the pathologists and/or immunologists will soon follow.
That's happening to an extent, but don't forget these are real people that care. They don't want their communities to suffer so they do their best. Even if their communities are hostile to their efforts.
We'd still have polio and smallpox if they had their way.
I feel like we need to keep shit like that on-hand just to reintroduce it when people start to forget why we created vaccines in the first place.
Hey OP, this is an important topic, but currently your post title violates rule 4. Please change it to match the article headline, or it will have to be removed.
I’m not sure if it happened in this case but Ars is known to use A/B titles. It auto selects the title more people clicked on after a couple hours.
yup, some sources like Reuters, AP and mostly tech sources always changes their titles.
Sure that's why I didn't just pull it down for the violation. I'll give it some time, but I still have to enforce the rule eventually.
It seems like the title has changed since it was posted. I'll change the title, but please I can't keep it up if they change the title since some sources keep doing this.
I'm amazed at how determined the nation is to return to the 1800s. Wonder if they'll bring back muskets and riding horses again.
Other than potatoes and Micron I'd ignore anything produced in political nutjob Idaho.
Leslie Manookian "a unique background in finance and holistic health"
Well, fuck you Leslie, you're a professional scammer.
Wild. I wonder if quarantines for the unvaccinated are also deemed "medical intervention". How about handwashing and bathing?
Not a fan of user editorialized titles. Don't tell me how to feel before I even read the article.
Not sure why you're being down voted. This post breaks rule 4. When I saw it, I was literally thinking this could not be the title of the article and sure enough it wasn't. Rule 4 is in place for good reason. Perhaps @throws_lemy@reddthat.com will want to update before the post is removed?
As for the article... I'm so tired of this dangerous, foolishness. People so easily forget how important vaccines are when they aren't being ravaged by death. Do we really need to get back to that point in order to decide, "oh vaccines are a good idea after all?"
He's being down voted because the title of this post is the original article title. Check the URL. Ars does A-B headlines, the URL always matches the A headline, but it looks like the B headline is what they eventually landed on.
Never underestimate how much bless grand father nurgle gives his followers. Its insane they eat this up but they really are feeling euphoria being ravaged by disease and parasites.
I dont mind dead stupid babies.
Wouldn't call it success... more like corruption in plain sight...
They've successfully gotten away with grifting a ton of money off it without being punished for it.
Successful outcomes for regular people aren't part of the criteria of these cretins.
The woman who is behind this insanity is a homeopath. She thinks water has a memory. 'Nuff said.
