disease

You'd think after a few years of her mom having an "eye disease", she's catch on after like, at least year 10. Apparently it just never clicked? What can we say, parents lie to their kids all the time, sometimes not even for a good reason. Here are times parents lied to their kids just for a goof.

When asked about the dumbest interaction they've had with a patient, these folks did not let up. Stories like these kinda make it more obvious why so many people still have such a vast misunderstanding of basic medical knowledge these days. When doctors have to stress basic stuff like this, it makes you wonder how a lot of people manage to stay alive.

This rageful parent's emotional post about their daughter getting measles is as relevant a reminder to anti-vaxxers today, as it was, when it was posted back in 2015. The news is riddled with accounts of a measles outbreak, and the anti-vaxxers are being called out with renewed passion for their part in the upsurge of cases. Maybe this post will make a splash in the social media space, and inspire further discussion about the impacts of vaccination, or NOT vaccinating your children. 

What started as a petition by Plague Inc. gamers, gave way to enough people actually signing up to state their interest in adding anti-vaxxers to the game. From there, the company posted a status about their decision to work anti-vaxxers in, and people were LIT in the comments section. There were roasts, verbal jabs, and above all else, excited appreciation from the consumers to the company, for them listening to what they wanted. 

There's a lot of people in the world, so it's a statistical certainly that some really, really, ridiculously rare crap is gonna happen to someone out there. Whether it's getting struck by lightning, something worse, or just winning some weird sweepstakes, there are some crazy unlikely stories out there.

These folks were in for a shock when they realized not everyone had constant discomfort, unexplained pain, the inability to sleep and uncontrollable sneezing.

During a measles outbreak in the state of Washington brought on fully by parents opting out of vaccinating their children for easily preventable, potentially life-threatening diseases, one dullard went to a public anti-vaxx group to ask how she could prevent her child from getting the Measles. People frustrated with this kind of BS were not kind in the comments.

Turns out sometimes people have legitimate and varied reasons for dumb and specific food requests. Eh, there's other ways to get back at people without poisoning them.

In 1986, the legendary author wrote this letter about the passing of his daughter 24 years earlier. This message still resonates today as a reminder of the dangers of not taking steps against the preventable disease. It's a bit of a shame that this message from almost 40 years ago is still relevant, but here we are.

These facts and figures really go to show the number we did on these charming little animals. If you didn't like pugs already, consider this more ammo for your anti-pug stance. If you love pugs, then we're sorry about this.

You can still get out now if you want to. A lot of these are pretty off-putting. Shattered bones, exposed intestines and general misery. Just saying. If you wanna read something lighter we've got this pretty funny thread about an incompetent intern.

Some signs are more ominous than they intend to be. Other signs aren't even intended as a warning, but they're still creepy as hell.

And they are all being completely serious.
