What if you take the measles virus, weaken it and infect people with that?

[–] [email protected] 97 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

OMG, that's an awesome idea! Someone should try that!

Bobby didn’t invent that first, so he’s not interested. MAGA are not followers, they are leaders! /s

Leading in kids with measles, AND kids dead from measles.

Eh, measles weasels. what’s the difference, am I right?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Measle Weasel is a pretty catchy nickname. But I like weasels and I don't think they deserve to be associated with a paramecium like him.

What if I already have it? Do I get super autism?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

uberautism, thank you very much. You've got to use fancy foreign words to make your mark, don't ya know¿

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

What if we give people a weakened form of autism, so their body learns to resist it?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago

That's a stupid idea. God created this virus as a test of our own faith. You can't weaken it. (someone around me might say)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

But how would you infect people?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

You could inject it into people? I don’t think that’s ever been done before

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Hmm, I dunno, that sounds like something a drugged up hippie might do with their marijuanas.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

But wait… what if we dissolve it into liquid and put it in a syringe?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

and do it like a heroin user would.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Okay, that’s way too extreme. That’s how you get herpes.

through a metal syringe type instrument into the muscle.
