Rob Schneider has made an entire career out of appearing to be a moron. It’s possible this was not acting.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    1. This….has to be a troll. This *has* to be a troll. Kids didn’t get sick 50 years ago? Are you *serious*?

    2. I wonder where my FIL lived for the first 5 years of his life if children’s hospitals didn’t exist in the 40s? I could have sworn Shriners Children’s hospital saved his life. But what do I know.

    3. Seriously conservatives live in such a bubble that if they themselves have never seen or experienced a thing/problem, they think the thing/problem doesn’t exist lol.

      It’s the same with anything, e.g medical bills, bankruptcy, getting laid off, etc.

      We have a Republican state rep in NJ who got wasn’t able to get his for profit insurer to authorize a chest scan for a bad cough he had, delaying the critical scan for months, only to eventually get it months later to find he had stage 4 lung cancer. NOW he’s turned againt prior authorization from insurers, lol (he’s not for universal Healthcare but one step in the right direction on his ffing deathbed).

      Might be time to take a break from the web if you’re listening to Duece Bigalow for political takes

    5. What a moron.

      Shriner’s Hospitals for Children – 1922

      March of Dimes (National Foundation for infantile paralysis) – 1938

      St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital – 1962

      Ronald McDonald House – 1974

      Honest question: what’s his actual point here? Younger generations are weak because of childhood cancer? Even if you take his extremely stupid and obviously wrong take at face value, is this like an antivax thing? Why does he think kids get sick today, and who does he think is responsible?

      He got sick as a child and he wanted to go to the hospital but his parents didn’t like him so told him there weren’t any children’s hospitals and also he wasn’t sick

    8. The people that constantly yell “Do your research!”. …never look anything up. Even the most basic, easy to google things.

      Easter seals, Jerry Lewis telethon, and st. Jude children’s hospital begs to differ

      I saw his act a few years ago. He definitely seemed angry and expressed conservative views. I won’t be going to another one of his shows. 

    11. Kids got sick back then too, they just died from it. Go to any old cemetery and check out all the kids tombstones.

    12. FYI he grew up 30 miles from Stanford Children’s Hospital and 10 miles from UCSF children’s hospital.

      Maybe it was just where I grew up, but in the 1980s, I feel like we couldn’t go a day without a St. Jude commercial. Hell, I think my school did St. Jude fundraisers.

    14. I honestly thought this was a joke comment. Is anyone this stupid that they think kids didn’t die of all kinds of diseases?! My grandma with three dead children (out of 7) would be incensed to know that people are so flippant about modern medicine. And I really liked Rob Schneider in Deuce Bigelow.

    15. He tried pulling Sandler under the bus with him in an interview a couple years ago, saying that there were a bunch of closet conservatives in comedy. Rob’s definitely gone off the deep end.

      Millions of polio / smallpox / measles / rubella / etc survivors around the world: Am I a fucking joke to you

      Gotta love how these maga types can so confidently state incorrect fake facts that they could easily Google instead 

    18. Go walk in a cemetery sometime and see how many kids from the 1850s to mid 1900s that were buried next to their parents because they didn’t survive to become an adult.

      Jesus Christ he’s dumb. Here’s two things for sick kids that are old:

      March of Dimes

      St Jude hospitals (❤️Danny Thomas)

    20. My first nursing job was in 1980 at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. It was founded in 1855 in response to outbreaks of smallpox, typhoid, and scarlet fever in children.

      My cousin’s daughter was born with (literally) half a heart. Children’s hospitals are the reason she’s alive today.

      Making copies. His original skit was about paper but now it’s about replicating both brain cells.

    23. The first Shriners hospital was the Shriners Children’s Shreveport, which opened in Shreveport, Louisiana, in 1922.
