Thinking about 13 Latvias again
I genuinely belive this is the funniest fucking thing we will ever get from reddit
I need you all to know that I think about 13 Latvias so much that now every time I meet someone from Latvia I have to resist the urge to ask "which one"
In the Latviaverse this is just a normal map
Just 85 years ago, within living memory for some Americans, this poster was widely distributed in the U.S. because kissing children risked infecting them with tuberculosis.
Even before we had antibiotic treatment for tuberculosis, public health campaigns and decreasing poverty led to a steep decline in active TB in the U.S., a reminder that public health information campaigns can be very effective.
There is currently no great vaccine for TB, but there are vaccines that prevent many infectious diseases, and when public health efforts successfully communicate the safety and effectiveness of these preventative measures, adoption is very high. When public health officials communicate different messages, adoption goes down.
In related news, there was an 18% increase just this year in people seeking to exemption from primary school vaccination requirements. That's dangerous not only for the kids who don't get vaccinated, but for the community as a whole.
In the U.S., we have largely forgotten the world where infectious disease was a leading cause of death, but that is a privilege that was hard won and can be easily lost.
i genuinely just don’t think people who don’t want to drive should have to. i think driving should be optional and it’s weird that we pressure people who are uncomfortable with it into doing it
