No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Tough to say what I would've contracted without vaccines. But the upper bound is 10, when I had pneumonia and relied on antibiotics.
Yeah I got it and strep real bad at the same time around then, the pneumonia actually turned to pleurisy. Wasn't doing too great for a few days.
Tbh I might not have made it that far, I got sick quite a bit as a kid.
My upper bound would be age 6, when I got some sort of stomach flu and had to be hospitalized with an IV because I was constantly vomiting and couldn’t even keep liquids down, so I was getting dangerously dehydrated. I was so dehydrated it took 14 tries to find a vein and start the IV (actually, I think the number might be higher, but that’s the number sticking out right now). Even on a good day mine are still hard to find, but that was not a good day.
Psh, they had moldy cheese back then
