I've had all the vaccines! Tetanus, Measles, Mumps, Polio, Johto, Commando, Tango! My veins are like burst copper pipes they're so vaccined!
So why is it that the Charizard Amiibo is already sold out on Amazon? It's not out until April!
...beg pardon? I'm not entirely certain how those two things are connected.
People keep telling me how great and vital they are, so why do bad things keep happening? Did you know that some guy bought thousands of dollars of Rosalinas just so other people couldn't? I wanted a Rosalina but I'm gonna get scalped out the ass! Where were vaccines then?!
That has nothing to do with vaccines and everything to do with economics. Waiting a few months to get a figurine won't kill you. Polio? Polio just might.
Somebody else told me they'd pay my overdraft but they didn't, so I don't know what to believe anymore.
Like polio. Have you ever caught polio? If not, then there's where your vaccines were.
Is it as bad as Cilantro? I doubt it.
Cilantro isn't a disease. It's a seasoning, and sometimes a garnish.
Polio is a virus that attacks your nervous system. Most of the time your body is able to fight it off, but one in every two-hundred or so end up crippled because their body
can't fight it off. And while that may not sound like a lot, let me put it in perspective; there are about 300 million people living in my country, The United States, right now. If polio were still common, a little over one and a half million people across the country would be crippled (or dead) because of it.
In short-Polio kills people. Lots of people. And cripples more. Coriander has never done either of those things. Polio is much, much,
much worse.
But we have a solution for that. Vaccines. The polio vaccine, developed (in part) by one of my personal heroes, Jonas Salk, prepares the body for the polio virus before it can actually attack the body. Furthermore, he and the rest of the team that worked on the vaccine refused to patent it, seeing this medical advancement as being as vital to the survival of mankind as the sun itself. As a result of their dedicated work, and their selflessness, this debilitating virus has very nearly been wiped off of the face of the earth. The only think keeping it from being anything but a memory are people...not necessarily like you, but certainly people who are more concerned with plastic figurines and staged wrestling matches than the well being of themselves and their children.
And y' know what? That's fine. You-and anyone else foolish enough to follow your lead-are free to do that. Because no number of fools can stop the forward march of human progress. Jonas Salk's name has been carved on the wall of human history, along with such great names as Niccolò Machiavelli, Martin Luther King Jr, and Guru Gobind Singh. You? I don't even
know your name. And if your greatest accomplishment in life is going to be taking a dump on the legacy of one of the greatest men who ever lived...then history will not remember your name, either.
