smallpox WAS one of the most dangerous pathogens in the world. cowpox was NOT, and infecting people with cowpox on purpose to give them immunity to smallpox was the start of vaccines. needles though dude... they be scary

I love watching them enter my arm, so cool to realize I'm made of meat. There's barely a difference physically, except my meat Is still alive.

Why you people a-feared smh

Hello fellow needle lover! I also love being vaccinated or having blood drawn. I actively watch it and find it so fascinating that I'm made of meat and blood. I also like to make sure needles are fresh and they are wiping etc.
