Oh boy, shaming! Featuring, fall in line bich! And now including, not doing what i say is stupid!
Real take: all vaccines should come w free wifi.
I had a patient say to me “The only vaccine I ever got in my life was Polio, and I regret it. It was about to be eradicated from humanity!”
Dude totally doesn’t get it.
Real take: all vaccines should come w free wifi.
Can mine make my dick bigger?
We have to draw a hard line with these traitors. Mandatory vaccination for everyone entering decent states from traitor states.
Are you a vaccine scientist?
Are you a conscious being? Signs point to no.
Zing. And look, the mob likes you.
Watch out. You might just believe whatever your friends believe.
Looks deeply into the eyes of 226 years of immunology.
“Friends, yes. Just… friends.”
Who amongst us isn’t?
The goodest of good boys.
He actually had a very troubling social media presence on “The Chihuahua Question”
Folks have already pointed out the whole “multiple teams of sled dogs” thing.
The dogs also weren’t delivering vaccine. They were delivering diphtheria antitoxin, which is a treatment for diphtheria, not an inoculation. The kids were already sick.
There was technically a vaccine for diphtheria then (it was invented in 1923, two years before this epidemic), but it wouldn’t have saved anyone who’d already caught the infection.
people really do not understand what vaccines do
Thats right, because Togo did it. Balto was just given all the credit becuse he did the final leg.
Well you’re right. Balto didn’t do it.
Fuckin stolen valor asshole dog
He was a good boy, don’t blame him for what people did.
Oh sorry, I’m biased against huskies in general. I think they’re all assholes.
They are, but dogs can be assholes and good at the same time. People, on the other hand…
Fuck that. Balto’s owner was the asshole. Balto himself and his team were sold and spent years malnourished and chained to a sled in a freak show wondering what they did wrong, and when they were finally “rescued” they wound up in a zoo. Well fed, but in cages while people gawked at them. Balto watched the rest of his team die one by one until he himself died blind and paralyzed.
Togo spent the rest of his life with his family. Neither dog knew they were famous or why, but Togo knew he was loved.
I actually didn’t know that, fuck our species
Goddammit. Why do even the good dog stories have sad endings. Every damn time.
I don’t quite remember the story, but I don’t think Balto had much of a say in his portrayal
I think Togo won in the end, because Balto and his sled team basically became freak show animals and later live museum exhibits, chained and starving, like they weren’t living creatures at all. They were later rescued and ended their days as zoo animals. After Balto died he was stuffed and put in a museum.
Meanwhile Togo and his team went on tours, were given gold medals, continuing their lives as sled dogs and Togo got to retire in a nice kennel where he was bred and lived well until he was euthanized at the age of 16 due to health complications.
Don’t feel bad for Togo. He may have been largely forgotten to history, but he sure as shit won the life lottery compared to Balto.
Also he finally got a pretty good movie starring Willem Dafoe.
Haven’t seen it, but I’ll put it on my watch list! 👍
You’ll have to sail the high seas. It’s a Disney movie but they have “put it in the vault”
Which upsets me considerably, because it’s an amazing film that made me weep. Literally, fucking, weep. Wailing and gnashing of teeth type sobbing.
Point being, it’s a great movie with a happy ending for the dogs, so you don’t have to worry about that.
Highly recommended.
Alternatively, you could watch The Great Alaskan Race, which tells the same, more accurate version on a much lower budget. My late-girlfriend was the wardrobe designer on it, so I feel obligated to mention it, even though it’s a bit rough around the edges.
lol
Neither did Balatro
Good reminder to give that game another chunk of my life.
You joker
remember to spade and neuter your pets. o7
The sled dog team led by Balto didn’t deliver vaccines. The vaccine for Diphtheria didn’t exist in 1925.
They delivered diphtheria antitoxin serum which was the only treatment at the time.
The image has a good sentiment though. The Florida change is just more undermining of public schools to push private charter school enrollment. These bozos in our government voted in vouchers to directly subsidize the businesses they themselves are invested in.
It did exist. It was developed in 1923.
It was initially discovered on the other side of the planet in a french lab in 1923. It wasnt widely adopted until the 30s. But yeah it technically did “exist”. In hindsight I should have just said it wasn’t available.
Just have the dog run farther 🤷♂️
Been a while. Was it a vaccine? I thought it was penicillin he was hauling.
Looked it up. We are both wrong. Apparently it was a specific antitoxin serum for diphtheria. Still not a vaccine but also not penicillin.
Makes sense. Unfortunately diptheria will be swelling soon
Antitoxin serum!? You gonna tell me what I should put in my kids bodies? Hell no! That’s communisocialism
Brother bear don’t treat me like I can read. Communowhatever is for hippies.
They don’t have sled dogs in Florida.
soon they won’t have kids either
Probably for the best… No child should have to live in Florida.
Mandatory abortions for all right wingers in Florida.
Feel bad joking about it but it sounds like a cutting cost program. Moving from No kids left behind to just no kids left
Do they use sled alligators?
Only at christmastime.
‘Twas the night before Christmas An’ all t’ru de house…’
No, alligators are lazy, ambush predators that stalk and move slowly. Crocodiles are more versatile, faster, and have more stamina for sledding.
It was actually several different sled dogs that made the trip and Togo did the longest and most difficult part. There’s a movie about Togo on Disney+
I’m not sure this is the case, but I like to imagine that the statue is polished from people petting it.
Listen, smart arse, ive never been deathly ill in all my life, so what was the point of getting all these vaccines?
Checkmate, big-pharma bootlickers.
Pshhh. What do you mean? What u don’t personally experience as being real isn’t real.
Duh…
