I think many of them are hooked up to things like RAGs.
He feels sorry for these guys, but wanted the Central Park 5 dead.
🤔
Also, Letitia James. Hmmmmmm.
They've been vaccine hesitant from the outset. However, if you have the general population holding to at least herd immunity levels, you don't have much of a problem. Amish are .74% of the PA population. I was trying to figure out how many Mennonites are in PA, but I'm not finding reliable results - since they are commonly confused with Amish (and Hutterites).
What is different now is the vaccine denialism in the wider culture. The idiotic vaccine denialism has been ticking up as older generations (that knew better) die off, but now we have an actual vaccine denialist running the HHS. I'm sure having donnie and him having a platform where they spread absolute fucking nonsense has had, and is going to have, more people opt out.
This is from a year ago:
According to the state, 93.7% of Pennsylvania kindergarteners got both recommended doses of the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine before the 2024-2025 school year. That’s lower than the recommended 95% vaccination rate for herd immunity, the threshold to provide community resistance to infectious diseases like measles.
Well, with one caveat - if they are someone talking about ASI (artificial super intelligence) and AGI (artificial general intelligence), etc.
That's probably why it annoys me so much - it's only going to confuse things.
AGI and ASI are things. Things that have been debated and discussed. For years and years.
And now Grandpa Pussygrabber comes along and signs some stupid EO about renaming AI as SI.
Nick Bostrom has to be endlessly facepalming right about now...
Oh, FFS.
And we have the worst fucking people in this administration right now...
Amish and Mennonite populations have had a lot of vaccine hesitancy for a long time.
Unfortunately, vaccines are a victim of their own success and people born into a situation in which certain diseases are virtually nonexistent because of those vaccines can craft or fall for a bullshit narrative about how it's always been like that, and the vaccines were not even necessary "because mah immune system". 🙄
They'll rally around the most terrible person they can find.
Foghorn Leghorn? The Rhodes scholar that went to Oxford and now cosplays as a backwoods hick who somehow just wandered into DC?
Cool, so anyone mocking that shithead Charlie Kirk who lost their job should be able to sue for millions of dollars for damages.
Artificial superintelligence (ASI) is a thing that people in the field have been talking about for years and years and donnie coming along and trying to call AI "SI" is just confusing the fuck out of everything, especially if people that should know better cave to his stupid childish nonsense.
“If you do that, we’re going to win, and we’re going to win big,” he said.
Who is "we"? I'm assuming he means him and his family and other people on the take.
If Republicans win, all Americans lose.
Well now with donnie dumbass going and trying to rename a well-known thing means we don't know if this guy is bending the knee to donnie and talking about AI, or talking about ASI.
