Fuck every last anti-vaxxer - dangerous idiots, all.
Why are there people old enough to be mothers who are unvaccinated? I thought it was just people whose brains were addled by the pandemic not vaccinating their kids.
Sadly, the anti vax nonsense goes back much further than covid.
My daughter in grade 7 just had her last round of needles. Based on her observations you should be concerned at the amount of children who now do not get any shots for “reasons”.
It’s gonna get worse. A lot worse. I do what I can to educate her and her friends when I see them in the hopes one day they will get their shots but I’m not optimistic.
Vaccines are a victim of their own success.
There’s a good chance that many or all of these cases are in the Mennonite community.
I remember being a young adult (I’m 38 now) and hearing about anti-vaxxing in the media. In the early -mid 2000s Jenny McCarthy and I think a few other celebrities were on the “vaccines cause autism” train.
We still haven’t reaped the full outcome of that. Still plenty of parents to be who haven’t had kids yet who fell for that BS.
Because we are old. Wasn’t the Andrew Wakefield nonsense paper from 1989? Oops no, it was 1998.
Unrelated, beginning of his Wikipedia entry is to die for:
Andrew Jeremy Wakefield (born 3 September 1956[4][5][a]) is a British fraudster, anti-vaccine activist, and disgraced former physician. He was struck off the medical register for “serious professional misconduct”[8] due to his involvement in the fraudulent 1998 Lancet MMR autism study that falsely claimed a link between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism.
He should have been sent to prison for his pure corruption and disregard for human safety.
Because we are old. Wasn’t the Andrew Wakefield nonsense paper from 1989? Oops no, it was 1998.
Yup, and 1998 was 27 years ago, that’s a perfectly reasonable age for motherhood. My kids were born when I was younger than that.
A kid I went who was in my Elementary class had a parent or parents who were antivax, among other things. I was left I am now somewhere in my late 30’s.
How to use wilful ignorance to ruin the lives of your children.
Isn’t this attempted murder of an infant?
Make vaccinations obligatory already ffs
Jail all anti vaxxers. If you promote anti vaccin bullshit, you risk lives, you go to jail. I don’t care about the ethics part of that question anymore as these anti vaxxers never cared about ethics either.
If you talk dangerous nonsense then we need to make you stop talking.
Don’t come with me with “but muh rights! First amendment because I’m American and that is the only country in the world!” because your rights end when you endanger my life and the lives of children
Not vaccinating your kids is child abuse and she be prosecuted as such including losing your kids.
Is that not already the case?
It’s not but it should be.

I get that these kids were born with measles because their mothers weren’t vaccinated but that doesn’t change my statement. The mothers should have been vaccinated when they were kids. Still child abuse.
Adults were once children.
Now, that’s a statistic that conservatives could get behind. Unfortunately it’s not convenient for them. So they won’t.
Don’t forget Drug Fraud’s daughter is an anti-vaxxer.

Boy, am I surprised.
This is how you start the zombie apocalypse
Imagine a standard zombie apocalypse movie. Someone comes up with a vaccine, but instead of the ending showing helicopters and planes transporting them, happy people leaving ships, people cheering in camps and getting mass-vaccinated, a new war just starts. Armed antivaxxers destroying labs, produced vaccines and vaccination centers, and the entire humanity just fucking dies.
THE END
Something far worse.
Or stop it after it starts. 🤷
Edit: was a LoU reference, she got her super power by being infected at birth.
