Brilliant read. It's satire, but it sums up the absurdity.

Quote: You don’t see a lot about this in the news, but there’s a reason for that, and that reason is Big Business. Do a Google search and you will soon find millions of articles about seat belt injuries. Nobody denies that they happen. “The increase in road traffic accidents and the seat belt compliance rate contribute to higher rates of injuries resulting from seat belt use.” Right there on the page — more seat belt compliance leads to more injuries.
If you have the stomach for it, do a Google image search for “seat belt injuries.” Beware, though, they can get graphic. “The most severe injuries that can be caused by (or exacerbated by) seat belts include fractures, dislocations, internal bleeding, spine injuries, and intestinal injuries.”
Beyond that, seat belts kill“[I]n a head-on collision as low as 30 miles per hour with one foot of crush, the seatbelt will exert a force on the wearer of 30 times his body weight, i.e., enough to kill him.”
WAKE UP, PEOPLE.
Quote: Seat belts don’t even work
In 2012, 122 people died while using seat belts. If seat belts are so great, why are people dying while using them?
Car safety without seat belts
The fact of the matter is that fatalities from car crasheswere going down before seat belts even arrived on the scene. Things like windshields, brakes, and dashboards, to name a few.

Ah seems like she actually self-published it! I was wondering who was dumb enough to publish this crap.
She blames the death of her child from 30years ago on vaccines, instead of the more plausible genetic disease as pointed out by the doctors. I am not sure if she is actually this ignorant about it or just a money-grabber using a past tragedy to swindle others...

Haha That's gold. I want to post this on Facebook with a emboldened disclosure heading detailing exactly what is being exposed and ridiculed, but I fear I would see a jump in infant deaths amongst my friends and family.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

I guess "Paula's Pleasing Polio" just doen't have the same ring to it.

How about "Sally's silly smallpox"?
