Amazing. I blame Jenny Shipley. She emptied out the looney bins and the people who would formerly have been receiving care are now free to share their delusions on Facebook.

And if there was ever a reason to reopen these institutions, social media is it! In Christchurch you used to have to go to the Square to hear their opinions, the ones the institutions hadn't yet captured. Now they are everywhere we go. On the flip side, it does make for great practice in exercising self-control and staying away from the comments section if not social media in its entirety.

And the bible lady. She went off on a big rant at a friend of mine one summer's day because he was barefoot, screaming that he would catch AIDS because of the needles in the Square. Mind you, she probably wasn't too far wrong.

Vaccination rates having fallen off because of social media misinformation or other mental illness there is currently a measles outbreak in Texas. The first child has died and now parents are rushing to get their kids vaccinated. As yet I've seen no comment from RFK Jr.

It's ironic that when the developed world has become so safe, and the risk of disease progressively reduced, that natural selection is considerably less effective at removing the lesser functioning humans from the population, the misinformation being spread reducing the vaccination rates there is likely to be a corresponding increase in mortality rates from preventable diseases, helping to remove the deranged conspiracy theorists and their unvaccinated offspring from the gene pool.

I'm old enough to remember a time when people didn't lose their shit over measles.

Then the pharmaceutical industry came along and brainwashed a large proportion of society.
