I’m a doctor. My job exists because nature hates you, and we can do better.

I have to hold my tongue when patients tell me they don’t want vaccines because they “want to do it naturally.” Fuck nature. Nature made polio, and polio paralyzes children. Nature can kiss my ass.

Nature also made us too fucking stupid to realize we don’t have massive viral issues because vaccines work.

“I don’t want no vaccine! I want to get natural immunity, then I’ll be protected!”

That’s called “getting the disease,” dumbass…

Nature also made our kickass brains which we use to create these amazing things.

Those same idiots drive home in a car to an air conditioned home. What’s “natural” about any of that?

Yep, tool use evolved pretty early in animals (some insects and fish can use tools,) though of course humans have gone a step further and use tools to make other, better tools.

The smallpox vaccine was developed in 1796, nearly a century before the first phone and a good 20 years before the first bicycles. The tech in COVID-19 vaccines was discovered 20 years before the first iPhone, but people act like it was invented yesterday.

Nature also gives us clean air, water, climate, timber, soil, food, pollination, beautiful wilderness and wildlife. Maybe not all bad.
