Big Pharma conspiracists are the worst

So I’ve been away for a while. It’s for a variety of reasons, none of which are serious, mostly I’ve just been busy. I’ve moved again, I have a job now (I know, I don’t quite believe it either) and I’m about an inch away from my master’s degree. The depressiveness I felt at the beginning of the year is a lot better now, although that’s more thanks to the job really boosting my self esteem than the fairly worthless online therapy our magnificent budget-cut health care system thought would be appropriate for me, but better’s better so yay for that. On the downside I’ve also apparently developed a progesterone deficiency which has made my downstairs go haywire throughout the spring, which has been real fucking annoying but has now subsided thanks to some perfectly lovely hormone pills courtesy of Big Pharma (just synthetic progesterone, no estrogen, so don’t go telling me my blood will clot in my arteries and I should just shove some essential oils up my cooter or whatever it is you hippy-dippy kids do these days, I prefer actual medicine which is sort of what inspired this ranty-ass post). If I was over thirty and legally allowed to, I’d consider just getting rid of the offending uterus instead since I’m not having any little ones anyway, but this’ll do for now. How dumb is that law, by the way, that you can’t get voluntarily sterilised before you’re thirty, as if you weren’t adult enough to decide whether you’re going to spawn or not before that. I really don’t think women need to be babied that way, not to mention that it’s really fucking rude and sort of reduces us to some sort of nativity vessels but whatever, I don’t intend for the whole post to be about uterine issues.

So I thought I’d just update my blog with a lengthy ramble about my anger for conspiracy theorists because I’ve run into them way too much lately and their astounding ignorance of scientific facts pisses me off. But before I get into that let me just say that Trump sucks, since I haven’t been around all spring to comment on how much he sucks. Everything he says is awful, everything he does is awful. Can’t even really bring myself to follow everything he does anymore as I’m not American, but I feel real bad for those of you who are, especially if you’re not rich, straight, white, Christian cis men. So boo for Trump. To think of it, he is somewhat related to conspiracy theorists too, since he doesn’t even believe in man made climate change, yet another one of his horrifyingly-unfit-for-president traits. Fuck that. If you don’t believe in man made climate change you are either an idiot or in some serious denial.

Anyway, perhaps a tad below Trump, anti-vaxxers might be the dumbest people in the world. I just had the major misfortune of getting into an argument with a few of them in the unholy land of Facebook, and it was honestly way worse than arguing with creationists. I have never in my life encountered so much ad hominem and bat shit nuts, one of them seriously compared vaccines to the experiments of fucking Joseph Mengele and asked if I supported those, A+ for class on that one, and I was also told that because I support vaccinations I don’t care about the cases of narcolepsy related to Pandemrix that happened here some years back, as if the two were fucking mutually exclusive. It was a rushed vaccine. It was tragic, and the families should get as much support and compensation as is humanly possible. Still doesn’t change the fact that vaccines by large are safe and save lives. I don’t really feel like going through the science on why you should vaccinate and why vaccines don’t fucking cause every illness from autism to hangnails right now (and autism is honestly not even an illness so you should educate yourself on neurodiversity), but seriously if you don’t vaccinate yourself, your kiddos and your pets, just fuck off, you’re a cunt who’s endangering yourself, your family and the rest of us (unless you have a legitimate reason like being allergic or immunocompromised, but otherwise, really fuck off with your measles and whooping cough). Also, if you’re a sane person and like to laugh-cry and/or torture yourself by witnessing the escapades of selfish, paranoid twits you should follow Things anti-vaxers say on Facebook.

Speaking of twits and pharmaceuticals, I’ve had it right up to here just with general Big Pharma conspiracy fucksticks. Listen, we all know drugs are a business, and no one is saying you should blindly trust pharmaceutical companies, but when these goddamn mother naturists start saying that not even real fucking depressed people should take their antidepressants or cancer patients shouldn’t do chemo because BiG PhArMa then you can fuck right off too. You could kill, and are killing people with your dumbass “advice”. And then they themselves usually believe in homeopathy and acupuncture and reiki and chiropractic and all that other horseshit that doesn’t give you anything but an empty wallet. So fuck them too.

So I realize I may sound a bit angry here, and that’s because I fucking am, since I just got out of that anti-vaxxer debate and I really don’t appreciate being told I’m cool with Nazi experiments and don’t care about others because I don’t agree with something you read on naturalnews.com or Mercola or Stop Mandatory Vaccinations or whatever unscientific crapsource you read because you don’t trust actual science. FUCK OFF.
