A medical warning from Ron Kim

From the Daily News:

Asian immigrants who inject themselves with a toxic IV solution in Queens homes and makeshift clinics are ignoring serious health issues, Assemblyman Ron Kim charged.

Flanked by Asian-American doctors at his Flushing office Thursday, Kim promised to help launch a public education campaign with community groups, following news of one woman who underwent the procedure and lost parts of her limbs to septic shock.

Even though it was unclear whether using the IV therapy caused her illness, Kim said it was a call to action.

“This is something that resonated very deeply,” said Kim, the first Korean-American elected to the state Legislature. “They think that just putting a needle in your vein will fix anything. That’s the culture we want to address.”

Using IV solutions to cure exhaustion or illness is a common practice among some Chinese and Korean immigrants.

I know this is evil but it might free up some of those McDonald's seats at Parsons and Northern!

That's the marketing campaign - Free IV bag with your GMO fries - see which kills you first!

Really?

And these are the "geniuses" who score high on the SAT and take Advanced Placement classes?

Vibrant!

Remember, the Chinese invented gunpowder - and made fireworks while the West built battleships.

The Chinese invented printing - and made paper money while the West wrote Shakespeare.

The Chinese have their own Shakespeare.

Now if he could convince them that blowing your nose into your hand and wiping it off on a lamp post is not a good idea...

Sorry to say but they really aren't as smart as people think they are.....The majority of them just know how to cheat real good. At hunter college, I have seen many of them cheat on their exams.

Older Asian people are dumb as shit. They are gullible and distrustful of everything just like the same age groups of other nationalities.

It's only the younger generation that have education.

They are very good at memorization and computing formulas. But they are very bad at being functional members of a society. They have a lack of communication skills, interpersonal relationships, common sense, or humanity.

They are robots, essentially.
