My grandfather

I was on Facebook and found this post shared in a group I'm in. That's my grandfather.

I could tell you a lot of stories but the most important one is that he was an undiagnosed schizophrenic. There are stories I can't even tell because I have to wait for more people to die first.

I've heard him on Coast to Coast and seen a number of interviews with him in the alien conspiracy industry. But not one of them ever mentioned, and he never volunteered, that he was an undiagnosed schizophrenic.

Remember this when you hear people speaking with authority about things they can't back up.

Over 150 unvaccinated students in South Carolina quarantining after measles exposure - ABC News

One of the coolest things about measles is that if it doesn't unalive you, just wait. That was round one. It has this amazing ability to erase your adaptive immune system through a process called immune amnesia. Every vaccine you have gotten, every flu you have had, every bacteria infection, ear infection UTI and the rest where your body learned to target a specific infectious disease is erased from its memory.

This is why you have a higher chance of death during the next two years than people who didn't get measles. And if it does get you this way the death won't be listed as being caused by measles. It will be listed as whatever childhood disease put you in the grave.

When you tell people who "did my research" for measles about this they claim it doesn't happen or don't know anything about it. Because they didn't actually do their research. They confirmed their bias. They looked for reasons to reject immunity instead of consequences of infection.

Vaccinate yo damn kids.

Conspiracy Scope Inflation

A conspiracy theory cannot stay the same size. It constantly has to grow because every time you find a way to disprove the conspiracy it creates a bigger conspiracy as you have to create sub-conspiracies to account for the "false" evidence that disproves the conspiracy. This process is what I'm calling Conspiracy Scope Inflation.

Questions for homeopaths

Questions that homeopathy should have answered in a century:

  1. how long do the vibrations last?
  2. how can you test a homeopathic pill to see if the vibrations have decreased
  3. what are the frequencies of the vibrations for the different homeopathic ingredients?
  4. do the vibrations decrease over time?
  5. how do you remove all previous vibrations?
  6. what is the half life of the vibrations and does it change from the vibrations of an onion to the vibrations of a duck liver at some point?
  7. by what mechanism does the body read and measure these vibrations?
  8. once measured by the body what actions are taken and now can measure them?
  9. how are vibrations transfered from one molecule to another?
  10. how does the native vibrations of water change the vibrations of the substance? Because vibrations set frequencies and when you add two frequencies you get a new third frequency.
  11. how are these frequencies different from brownian motion?
  12. how can you verify your water is free of vibrations from previous interactions?
