The latest missive from Wooville.

Don't get a flu shot because flu prevents or cures cancer!

No, I'm not making that up.

Weird incidents in Egypt this morning. I don't know what's going on, but apparently SOMETHING is. I know quite a few cases of Bird Flu have turned up here.

As mentioned in other posts, my daily commute takes me thru a whole string of rural farm villages.

This morning a truck with loudspeakers was stopping in every village to blast a message. Usually, this means someone has died. A truck goes thru all the villages making the death announcement so people can attend the funeral.

My Egyptian driver said this truck was announcing free injections for all animals, and explaining the details. Any epidemic affecting farm animals would devastate this whole region. These people are desperately poor and rely on those animals for everything from work to transportation to milk/food.

Possibly unrelated, but a few minutes later we saw an Egyptian mom giving her baby some medicine with an eye-dropper. She was holding his nose to get it inside him. Just like my mother used to do when giving me that damn cod liver oil; she thought it cured everything short of decapitation.

BTW, the world's biggest and oldest leper colony is in Egypt. A local magazine ran an article about it a few months ago. Even though leprosy is non-contagious and not usually fatal, it is still viewed with horror in this part of the world and often considered some sort of Biblical/Koranic curse.

The article noted that Evil Big Pharma freely donates the medicines used in the place, and is aggressively searching for a cure.

Those lepers! What a bunch of shills!

Without their knowledge of course.

They probably brought leprosy and bird flu to Egypt just to give them plenty of test subjects.

Fortunately vitamin D (the cure du jour in Wooville) will cure that. Just tell your Egyptian friends to get more sunshine! That's the ticket!

I got flu mist vaccine from my company last year! I know why they gave it to me free, its an experiment!
That is why I had to go to Mayo this year, because of that!:crazy:

to prevent cancer, too. These people really don't think anything through. If it's "natural," it's good.

but I'll be fine since the venom is natur........................... *thud*

oh my, there must have been trace amounts of mercury in that snake!

Yup. One of my favorite cranks EVER says so. It's the barrier method of contraception that has caused the rise in cervical cancer. Women need exposure to semen, in order to prevent cervical cancer. The barrier method prevents that natural protection.

Oh, the stories of cranks and cancer that I could tell you....

Or is it a right wing keep your legs shut till you're married or you get what you deserve asshole?

ETA- maybe (s)he's an HIV denier too.

...and I think he's just skeevy. I think keeping legs shut until they're married is the LAST thing he wants.

Oh, and prevents periodontal disease too. :)

...I like to gargle with it. And it's great for manicures. I'm soaking in it right now....
