VACCINATE YOUR FUCKING KIDS

i know this isn’t my first time reblogging this post to this blog, and it probably won’t be the last. Stay educated.

Also, immunocompromised members of society (including a number of my family members and friends) don’t deserve to have their lives threatened because of antivaxxers and their “right” to believe lies.

I /am/ autistic. Ive always been vaccinated for the important things. But I cant get things like the flu shot, because needles send me into a fight or flight mode. Ive punched nurses. Ive also hidden under the chairs. (I was 13).

To give me a shot, they have to give me a prescription sedative pill and still hold me down. Shots are too stressful for my body and mind, so I rely on herd immunity to keep me from getting sick.

Last year, a girl at a kids program I volunteer with came down with scarlet fever.

Vaccinate your kids.

For the details with no paywall:

More gay and bisexual men will now be able to donate blood under finalized FDA rules

While the number of people eligible to donate blood has expanded, the agency says it will continue to monitor the safety of the blood supply

NPR

The article says that the guidelines have been updated. Instead of asking if you’re a man that’s had sex with another man in the past 3 months it asks everyone regardless of gender if they’ve had anal sex with a new partner or if they’ve had anal sex with multiple partners in the past 3 months.

This both opens up blood donation to msm in exclusive relationships or who don’t have anal sex and more accurately identifies hiv risk from people who aren’t msm. This is exactly the sort of guidelines we’ve been fighting for for years. This is a major win for both gay rights and blood donation in the US. Now a bunch of people who couldn’t donate before can donate now.
