Anti-Vaccination Legislative Win In California

..reformatory?

I.E: DOES NOT MEET STATE OR FEDERAL GUIDELINES/REQUIREMENTS.
Congratulations, Endoq. Have a box of saltines. You've earned it.

Now, can we get a nice mod or janitor to lock this thread? thanks kindly.

Furthermore, this quote is often misinterpreted. Timothy McVeigh was infatuated with this quote and ended up killing 168 Americans because he simply felt it was time to shake things up. So, if you taking this the way that we, Americans, need to start shedding blood from patriots and tyrants to shake things up and to get what we want, how different are you from a terrorist?

I believe everyone here is crazy.

Vitamin D 'triggers and arms' the immune system

Vitamin D is crucial to the fending off of infections, claims new research.

The so-called sunshine vitamin, which can be obtained from food or manufactured by human skin exposed to the sun, plays a key role in boosting the immune system, researchers believe.

In particular it triggers and arms the body's T cells, the cells in the body that seek out and destroy any invading bacteria and viruses.

Scientists at the University of Copenhagen have discovered that Vitamin D is crucial to activating our immune defences and that without sufficient intake of the vitamin, the killer cells of the immune system – T cells – will not be able to react to and fight off serious infections in the body.

For T cells to detect and kill foreign pathogens such as clumps of bacteria or viruses, the cells must first be ‘triggered’ into action and "transform" from inactive and harmless immune cells into killer cells that are primed to seek out and destroy all traces of invaders.

The researchers found that the T cells rely on vitamin D in order activate and they would remain dormant, ‘naïve’ to the possibility of threat if vitamin D is lacking in the blood.

Professor Carsten Geisler from the Department of International Health, Immunology and Microbiology, said: "When a T cell is exposed to a foreign pathogen, it extends a signalling device or ‘antenna’ known as a vitamin D receptor, with which it searches for vitamin D.

"This means that the T cell must have vitamin D or activation of the cell will cease. If the T cells cannot find enough vitamin D in the blood, they won’t even begin to mobilise. ”

The discovery, the scientists believe, provides much needed information about the immune system and will help them regulate the immune response.

This is important not only in fighting disease but also in dealing with anti-immune reactions of the body and the rejection of transplanted organs.

Active T cells multiply at an explosive rate and can create an inflammatory environment with serious consequences for the body.

After organ transplants, T cells can attack the donor organ as a ‘foreign invader’. In autoimmune diseases, like arthritis or Crohns Disease, T cells mistake fragments of the body’s own cells for foreign invaders, leading to the body launching an attack upon itself.

For the research team, identifying the role of vitamin D in the activation of T cells has been a major breakthrough.

“Scientists have known for a long time that vitamin D is important for calcium absorption and the vitamin has also been implicated in diseases such as cancer and multiple sclerosis, but what we didn’t realise is how crucial vitamin D is for actually activating the immune system – which we know now, ” said the researchers.

The findings, continues Professor Geisler, “could help us to contain infectious diseases and global epidemics.

They will be of particular use when developing new vaccines, which work precisely on the basis of both training our immune systems to react and suppressing the body’s natural defences in situations where this is important – as is the case with organ transplants and autoimmune disease.”

Most Vitamin D is produced as a natural by-product of the skin’s exposure to sunlight. It can also be found in fish liver oil, eggs and fatty fish such as salmon, herring and mackerel or taken as a dietary supplement.

The findings are published in the latest edition of Nature Immunology.

God has already provided us with everything we need

El
oh
el.

Some of us got brains, those people have what they need, others........................ not so much.

They have this superiority feeling every time you prove them wrong.

God has already provided us with everything we need

Including all the diseases and death too! Truly a generous god.

If the bible is true

There is little point in responding to all that. Even if I took it apart line by line and explained a logical problem with that viewpoint

If the bible is true? It can't all be true. There's so many contradictions that if it were all true you'd have to have 300 some odd variable dimensions just to deal with the conflicts.

"The Bible" is a collection of written stories that themselves came from ancient history handed down orally from one generation to the next. The book of Genesis itself has something like four different authors, not to mention the many authors of the rest. It's not to be taken literally but neither is it a fairy tale. People similiar to those mentioned did exist and did things similiar to what was mentioned in those places. The exact details have long since been lost in time, but as a historical document it's fairly accurate when one takes into account it's primary source is oral.

Don't treat the bible as some divinely inspired document nor as a giant lie, but as a very early attempt at passing history down from one generation to the other via stories. Those people existed and did do those things, there was no divine entity involved, just mere superstition and people trying to explain the unexplainable in anyway they knew how.

The floods lasting 40 days and 40 nights, the plagues called out by Moses, Sodom and Gomorrah, advocating incest and child molestation, filled with murder, war and disease, the entire book of Job... Eeyeah, doesn't seem contradictory for a supposedly "kind, loving god". No wonder why I worship Satan.

I'll write a fanfiction about our current politicians and fill it with magic and superpowers. I hope in 2000 years someone thinks it's canon.

Archeology has confirmed a number of people and places and events in the bible, so no it's not fairy tale.

And mans imagination has been coming up with gods from the beginning. The bible mentions this.

Your argument that written records show a correlation between different stories mean nothing in a time before/where writing was just beginning. Or are you telling me people needed these records for something to exist in the world? Therefor you can't date the oral information in the world from records.

And if it was a history book written for an agenda then it would make even less sense to leave so called contradictions in it on a collective bases.
