Should do a gif version where each shot is like "essential oils" "vitamin c" "crystals" and then it blows up and the plane is "vaccines"
Kazzakashi
I get what your doing here and I agree, but the tank blows up in this scene
MyTrueIdiotSelf990
It wasn't due to Cpt. Miller's peashooter though. . .
mstalltree
Same is true for fighting flu with vitamin C. Excess Vit. C does nothing. Get your bloody flu vaccine.

Reminds me of Lois Lane in Superman

Fuck anti-vaxers. They are destroying all the advancement mankind gas made in medication and healthcare.

Destroying? No. They are, however, ignoring it at their own peril.

And at the expense of those who can't be vaccinated

Whatever your stance; kids don’t deserve to die. And they certainly shouldn’t be punished for the wrongs of their parents.

Obviously Measles is just a byproduct of a non-organic, non-vegan diet. They need to be called "Meatsles." #Facetious.

Perfect analogy. The airstrike/artillery that hits the tank are vaccines

i'm guessing it was an airstrike because artillery can't pierce takn
Arracor
Antivaxxers don't believe in air support.
realargonwolf
I know it's not part of the movie, but I feel the analogy would work better if vaccines were landmines.

You know they'd just go around taking all the credit for other people's results: "Yeah, that was me, I achieved the physically impossible."

How about get vaccinated AND take vitamins?
PossibleSarcasm
I like how topic has become so hyperbolic that there is no way to talk about it, except in weak platitudes attacking extremists.
InquisitorLexaeloftheOrdoHereticus
It's because anti-vaxxers just won't listen. You can't "talk about it" with them because they substitute their perceptions over reality.
Camelspotting
If you can't come up with evidence for both sides there's not really anything to talk about.
realargonwolf
I mean we could physically attack the extremists, but then we'd kind of become the extremists...
PossibleSarcasm
E.g. say in the future there was a vaccine that accidentally had some negative side effects, it would be hard to inform people about it -
PossibleSarcasm
without them thinking you're an anti-vaxxer who thinks vaccines in general are bad.
AbidiAbida
I work in tech & many engineers are anti-vaxer because they believe that big pharma and Republicans are pushing vaccine for profit. (??)
Thismanneedsaname
Military has to get Anthrax vaccine even when there is no military need for it. 14 separate shots. This to keep the production line open

THANK YOU. I was staring at it, scratching my head.
Cheomesh
Or even the names of the tanks right. ...why is a Marder even in the town to begin with?
CrazyforRAMU
Between SPR and Fury, apparently you can get a bitching real Tiger or a truly moving script, but never both in the same movie.
Cheomesh
Is Fury bad? I was tempted to see it but I mean Pitt's not so great at acting anymore.
CrazyforRAMU
It's not bad. Remarkable action scenes. But it's so relentlessly grim that it becomes unintentionally juvenile. Like the WH40K take on WW2.
Cheomesh
Ah, got you.
SaFalken
Apparently it's a T34-85 dressed up.
TheManInTheWall
Considering there is only one working Tiger I in the world (kept at Bovington, used in Fury), its difficult to use a proper one. They
TheManInTheWall
Dressed up a T-34-85 since there was so many of them left after the war and theyre cheap to buy as far as tanks go
Gloriously
Doesn't Tom's character live after this scene?
Thismanneedsaname
For a few more minutes, just enough time to tie up loose ends between the opening and closing scenes
JuiceJive
For about as long as it takes him to groan at Matt Damon. Air support takes out the Tiger while he's shooting at it.
CigaretteMan
Nope. He's mortally wounded at this point, dies a short time after, after this scene

Pandragun
If it wasn't for innocent people who can't be vaccinated, i'd say good, these anti-vaxx retards need to die off.
holdonimeatingpizza
You’re kind of an asshole for wishing death on people.
drapester
Not vaccinating is like a statistical roulette on someone else's life who can't vaccinate, so turn about is fair play.
holdonimeatingpizza
People shouldn’t be shunned or worst yet, wished death upon for their religious and personal beliefs. Bottom line.
drapester
Depends on the belief.
holdonimeatingpizza
Sure. And this isn’t one of them
Corona688
Antivaxxers are vaccinated. Its their kids which aren't.
PeccableTiming
problem is that conspiracy theories are not hereditary.
mastikator
But it's their kids who die
DoYouGuysNotHavePhones
Make a law so they cannot legally have children.
nseanconlon
People who can't be vaccinated aren't necessarily anti-vax.
StRocketScience
I feel bad for anti-vax, honestly. People wanting wants best for their kids tricked by scam companies selling “holistic cures”
holdonimeatingpizza
Yeah ..not to mention the billions that are profited off of scheduled vaccines.

I have no doubt big pharma is an asshole. Doesn’t mean vaccines are shit

But they won’t anyways. They may be anti-vaxx, but they were all vaccinated as kids. It’s their kids who will suffer.
DataMonkeyNicki
TGWeaver
Exactly this. The only people anti-vaxxers hurt is their own innocent children. If any damage was self-inflicted we'd all likely care less.
Muffdiver9
This is the reality so many people miss entirely. The kids are the ones who will die, not their idiot parents.
DickPicEnthusiast
Yes. Ironically, vaccines do cause a mental illness: anti-vaxx moms.
OfficerGoodbodysss
Agreed although dont hate on Vitamin C. Shit's good to take, especially if you exercise a lot and get sick from colds a lot.
GuyPrice
Shit's vital. Which is why meme works cuz you wouldn't try to fight measles with other vital stuff like water or oxygen either.

The vitamin C thing....a deficiency will compromise your immune systesm but there's no clinical evidence that an excess boosts it.

These facts assume the person isn’t deficient. There’s no vitamin C in Quarter pounder.
NedStarksHeadOnASpike
This is way too sciencey for any anti vaxxer to understand.

The standard float arm sensors move through an arc rather than strictly vertically, that's why they get weird at either end.

finally! a real answer! +1 for you good sir/madam
Cheomesh
Yeah, do definitely maintain C intake but yeah...it's not going to cure much beyond scurvy.
Beezlebubble
Excess vitamin a is bad for your bones in women and vitamin e or f is bad for the prostate in men IIRC.
LarryTesler
A megadose of vitamin can even be dangerous
nonamejanie
Your body will dump excess that you don’t need. Especially supplements that aren’t delivered by food.
allthesameisawitfirst
If you want to do some further reading, look into Linus Pauling and his Vit C quest. It’s all bunkum, like most supplements.
Openmind4truth
Not to be that guy, but high dose vitamin c is actually part of treatment for measles. But to your credit prevention is better than treatmen
exlurker42
There are some things it can help shorten. There's no evidence it can do diddly for prevention. I should've been more specific, though
malachilenomade
During Basic, the only 'candy' we could have was Vit C, though the drills warned against taking too much (apparently it can make you ill)
furiouslumberjack
It has, however had clinical success in treating sepsis but only in enormous IV amounts and not for the same reasons AVs love it.
Tellyb0228
That's still pretty small scale, though right? Have they started implementing it in more hospitals to check the efficacy?
furiouslumberjack
Yep. It has been picked up by several large hospitals, at least out here in CA. Many docs are opting into it because the likelihood for harm
furiouslumberjack
Is very low except in very few cases of folks with severe renal impairment
Tellyb0228
Ahh, very cool!
furiouslumberjack
In retrospective studies the efficacy has been remarkable at this point it's almost unethical to not try it
RelartOfGivia
An excess gives you the runs
BigJewishHulk
Well, i got ibsd. I always have the runs
Leonon
I hear running is good for your health.
Opportunist
That depends on the binder. Not every Vit C pill is made the same, and some folks are sensitive to certain 'builds'.
Mercenarity
An anti-vaxxer will see the word "clinical" and rebel against the rest of the statement.
exlurker42
Unless it's that one debunked study, though the vitamin C myth goes a lot further than them
Odmanra
I tried a 2 Kmg tablets a day, day two constantly on toilet draining bowels! Take what is required!! Do not exceed dosage.

Excess vitamin c just goes through your system. Or so that's my understanding.

Moreover, excess vitamin c is excreted by the kidneys in minutes to hours.
Jupman
Tell that scabies
ImJustFuckingHere
Don’t we get enough vitamins just from the food we eat?
Lostchild12
Fast foods? Full of sugars, fats, carbohydrates? Chips, Cheese curls? The list is long of low vitamin foods we eat.
exlurker42
Good food is also full of sugar, fat and carbohydrates (also sugar is a carb so slightly redundant). That's necessary fuel.
Lostchild12
1/2 Sugar is a simple carb. It is what complex carbs turn into. Your system was not designed to handle massive amounts of refined sugar.
Lostchild12
2/2 Healthy food has a balance of fats and carbs along with vitamins & fiber. It's not the fats, etc. but the excessive amounts in those.
exlurker42
Depends on what you eat and which vitamins, but with C yeah it's really hard to come up short.
lilmookie
I thought your body expunges the excess. Like, in that sense there's probably clinical evidence that excess does nothing positive.
exlurker42
It does
lilmookie
But did they test if someone with excess vitamin C expels it on the test victim, if they receive benefits? I'm accepting grant money.
lilmookie
*patient. I meant "patient". I prefer cash grants over checks, but like, whichever works. "lilmookie-foundation-of-sciences-and-stuff".
0xBADA55
It doesn’t boost u, however, in the long run all the excess can contribute to kidney stones or something related
Lostchild12
Yes, It is recommended those with kidney stones do not exceed 500 Mg per day.

Anything above 500mg/4hours is worthless. VitC has been shown to reduce the duration of illness but not lessen the severity. from ncib

That is true for oral intake, however intravenous dosages can be much higher and are promising rn. Seems to be a possible cancer treatment.

HolyCowDoNotEat
Lol what? Vitamin C is water soluble, you pee out the excess. To overdose on vitamin C you’d have to put in a ridiculous amount of effort.
sha13
That sounds wrong. Vitamin C is water soluble, and thus you will not hold any excess and instead pass it in urine. Source?
theglimmeringwarlock
False. There is a certain bowel tolerance to how many grams of c. You will shit it out. Myth is pissing it out. I take 8g per day btw

Doesn't look serious in any way: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vitamins-and-minerals/vitamin-c/

Overdose just means you've taken more than is nutritionally or medically needed. Fatal dose is huge. We're talking dozens of pounds.

about 1 lb for every 75 lb you weigh. so not dozens, but still a huge amount to get to that point.
