What the whaaaaat???

Ok. I have asked this question to myself far too often in recent times. I have decided to actually list out some of the absolute craziest and crazy misinformed topics that are most disturbing as well as some eye raising topics. I think seeing it in writing may help others to get a grasp as well.

I listen to a morning talk show often when I’m driving. A couple weeks ago, the morning crew opened up the phone lines to get listeners “insight” surrounding the “massive” measles outbreak. The question, which was 100% serious was- “which is worse, having the measles or having herpes?” I of course busted out laughing at the insanity and thought they were joking. But they were not even close to joking. People called in repeatedly and all said they would rather have herpes than the measles, because the measles are “deadly”. I actually sat in my car to listen with hope that someone would call in, to not only say how insane this question is to begin with, but also HERPES?? Really? I listened to the DJ’s and every caller repeatedly say they would rather have herpes than measles.

I almost feel silly explaining why having herpes is “worse” than having the measles. The measles are transient and are treated with rest and fluids, and recovery is 7-10 days. Herpes is forever. It is a virus that we have no cure for, and can cause lifelong issues for someone. There is no true recovery from herpes.

So then there was this breaking news…

https://healthybuilds.com/mercks-ilum-health-solutions-will-invest-up-to-48-million-and-create-up-to-115-new-jobs-over-five-years-new-partnership-to-develop-state-of-the-art-research-program-and-platform-to-detect-treat-a/There just seem to be a lot of “coincidences” occurring. NY certainly has an agenda, I’m just sold that it comes at the sacrifice of it’s tax payers. NY Is desperately trying to improve its attraction to corporations through tax exemptions, and retaining the business in state. Is it a coincidence that private businesses in NYC pressured the state to remove religious exemptions just a week before they actually do? Is it a coincidence that Merck (the MMR manufacturer) came to NYS with the offer of 48m$ and 115 new jobs, a day before the law was passed? Is it a coincidence that 2 months ago, Cuomo intercepted the Rockland County ban on the unvaccinated as unconstitutional a month before he contradicted himself and blatantly violated the first amendment by removing religious exemptions? They may be all a giant coincidence for some, but for me, it’s just the writing on the wall that has always been there. I just choose to see it now.

It’s ok to believe in coincidences. It’s just not ok for ME. I personally, have experienced too many coincidences to believe that I that lucky.

Much love and respect.
