Wow, the government now thinks its their place to tell people whether they should wash their hands or not! If people don't see this an infringement on personal freedoms that the fucking federal government is telling people petty and meaningless shit like that "they should wash their hands", then I don't know what kind of sheeple nation we are becoming. Fuck the CDC and the rest of the lying government for trying to micromanage things like this. Keep in mind these are the same clowns that decided that flouride should be put in the water supply and that cannabis is a horrible drug that will make you crazy...... and continues to schedule it. So in my mind, if the CDC says to wash, my inclination is more likely to lean in the direction of don't wash. As I haven't washed in a long time and have been just fine....... yet another example of the government being wrong. Just like they're wrong that if one goes out and smokes a joint that they'll go insane and become addicted to crack because its a "gateway drug". Fucking bunch of clowns.
I don't even know where to begin with this.
THEY ARE RIGHT that it is unsanitary not to wash your hands after taking a shit, it's just plain science.
Your experience of not getting sick because you don't wash your hands is anecdotal.
Jesus christ, in what world do people think it's not a good idea to wash your hands after taking a shit.
There's no agenda here, it's not propaganda, it's a simple fact that not washing your hands after taking a shit spreads disease.
Jesus fucking christ, take 2 minutes or less to wash your hands after taking a shit and stop making it into a conspiracy.
Let me ask you this question though it goes beyond simple hand washing, but it relates as it is an issue of washing:
I do martial arts like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu where people wrestle with eachother
Have you ever heard of MRSA, which is Methicillin Resistant Staph Infection?
It gets spread all the time when people don't wash themselves properly and is all over the place at gyms and places like that, but it also exists in most bathrooms most likely.
So...when I go to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, if I have an open cut it can get infected with MRSA and I could potentially die or lose a limb if I don't then get on special super powerful antibiotics.
MRSA is spread when people don't wash themselves properly and you can give it to someone if it's on your hands and you don't wash them.
So, lets say I go to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and someone who goes there has been really dirty, not washing their hands, and I have an open cut and they touch it, then they can potentially KILL me!
All because they didn't wash their hands.
Usually it is more than just that, and comes from not washing the mats etc, but it's all over the place, especially in hospitals.
Lets say for some reason you have to go to the hospital and after coming home you don't wash your hands, and I have a blister on my hands and you shake my hand: that could potentially kill me if you have MRSA on your hands and it gets in my cut, or if I am lucky enough to realize I am infected quickly enough I could just get my arm amputated to save my life.
I know people who have almost died from MRSA by having it spread to them by unclean conditions while training in BJJ, and unclean conditions are cause by unclean people.
I know of a friend of a friend who died because he had a cut on his hand and played golf with a group of strangers, and most likely there was MRSA on one of the clubs which got on there from a particularly unclean person sharing the club with them.
MRSA is EVEYWHERE, it's probably in the room you are in right now, and you can spread it to others if you don't wash your hands.
You can, under certain conditions, risk other people's lives by not washing your hands, and if that isn't fucking selfish, then I don't know what is.
