        That article reminded me of that politician who said women’s bodies would prevent pregnancy from rape. Clearly he had so little contact with women he confused them with ducks.

        I actually try to talk to folks to the level of their knowledge. I had a debate with some coworkers about vaccines. I explained to them that it’s safe, thousands of studies proved they are, I also mentioned vaccines are produced just like any medicine. And yet people take paracetamol willy nilly without question but somehow treat vaccines differently; even though overusing paracetamol could lead to hearing loss as happened to my dad.

        However, I admit that what got me is the mRNA vaccine technology when a colleague said there has been no human trial of it before. The technology has actually been developed for over 40 years but with strong proof of concept. But I find it hard to explain that to laypeople.

        But the stupid uncursed pleb doesn’t know that.

        I say curse him!
        It’s for their good, and for the good of human kind.

        But boy do some people have high curse resistance.
        Over 100%.
        Literally impossible to educate (which is the first part of the cursing process).
