    Epidemiology of Vibriosis in California, 2013-2019

    During the surveillance period, V. parahaemolyticus was the most common species identified
    as the cause of vibriosis (845 cases, 50.0% of cases), followed by V. alginolyticus (269 cases,
    15.9%) and non-toxigenic V. cholerae (91 cases, 5.4%). Thirty cases (1.8%) of V. vulnificus
    were reported. Among the 1,481 cases with complete hospitalization information, 287 (19.7%)
    of 1,454 non-V. vulnificus cases were hospitalized and 23 of 27 (85%) of V. vulnificus cases
    were hospitalized. Deaths were reported among 30 (1.8%) case-patients at the time of case
    report. Of these deaths, 10 (33.3%) had V. vulnificus infection and the others had infection with
    another Vibrio or unidentified species.

    The spread of Vibrio vulnificus as a result of warming coastal waters seems worthy of concern. Though uncommon, it is far more dangerous than other Vibrio species. Anything that could raise the incidence of infection is very bad.




  • Religion is child abuse. No surprise there’d be more. They’re already in the business. It’s on the package. That’s what they’re selling.

    They take young inquisitive minds and teach them to be subject and secondary to archaic bullshit and propaganda as early as they can listen, teaching them they deserve abuse and can’t trust their senses and intuitions and sense of self. It’s fucking disgusting.
    Even the best pieces of religion are just a table setting, training to lay down a lifetime of torment and failure. A means to take away any agency and decency and accomplishment an individual might have, so they can be appropriated and misused by greedy lying abusive fucks in supposed positions of power, people we’re supposed to respect.

    Religion has no place in society. It is a perversion and a derangement of the natural sense in decent individuals that there should be goodness between people and that we should improve ourselves and our environment in a meaningful way. It is absolutely designed to debase human’s faith in ourselves and has only survived because successful religions piggyback on the worst parts of vestigial tribal instincts, outlets for which have otherwise been mostly removed from modern life.
