Hey guys, thanks to anti-vax grifter podcasts we now have diseases we had almost defeated circulating again! Humans are so cool!
I fucking hate this place
I feel such deep and powerful hatred because it's not just a sudden illness that goes away. People don't realize that not only will some of these children die but some of them will develop lifelong debilitating illness such as central nervous system diseases including SSPE as well as a type of AIDs. Viruses cause permanent damage.
In the same way that Polio can cripple people, Chickenpox can cause shingles, and the Spanish Flu lead to a worldwide outbreak of Encephalitis Lethargica characterized by a chronic loss of consciousness trapping you inside your own body like a prison.
Those people are subjecting this to children. If I wrote the laws, this would be a crime punished on the same level as murder.
Right?!
The solution to this problem isn't just "within your reach" IT'S IN YOUR FUCKING HAND!!!!
Sad the children have to suffer for their idiot parents.
It's worse than that. Vaccines are not 100% effective and some people have legitimate reasons why they can't get a vaccine...and those kids are getting fucked by other parents' poor decisions.
Non medical exemptions need to go.
Vaccines are not 100% effective
Ah ha, so vaccines aren't effective! /s
Failing to vaccinate a kid (unless there are legit medical reasons) should be a chargeable offence in the same way that letting them sit in the backseat of a car without a booster / seatbelt is. These parents, as stupid and credulous as they are, have endangered their kids and some of them might suffer life altering injuries or death from that.
This is Florida, best you'll get is each kid getting a gun to defend from measles.
Manatee Bay in Weston Florida. I saved you a click.
It's a very affluent neighborhood in a very affluent city. Homes start at $1 Million in the entire city. Feel bad for the kids.
Great. They just had a huge soccer tournament there this past weekend, with kids (and parents) travelling from all of Florida and out of State. This is going to be 👍
Yes, but they don’t have autism, and their DNA hasnt been changed and they can’t get Covid from the 5G towers. /s
Measles coming back might finally cow those susceptible to antivaxxer propaganda. But it will have to be widespread. People will have to die horrifically before we beat back antivaxxers to a small percentage of the population once again.
People are too fucking stupid to just get their vaccines unless there is a stick. Carrots don't work well enough, apparently. Over a disease once considered eliminated, too. I'm salty that people can't do literally anything for the greater good one a year, or even once every 10 years.
Over 500k people died of COVID-19 and yet anti-vaxx still exists and they are still growing in numbers.
Measles and chicken pox has been coming back for years, they will not change their minds. Unless it happens to them of course.
If this continues for a couple of generations we will have weeded out the idiots, fucking bullshit it comes at the cost of innocent children.
Ironically, this is also the pro-life crowd, too. Weird how they don't care about the lives of children.
Any parent of a kid that is unvaccinated should be charged with abuse and child endangerment IMO.
It really is the roaring twenties all over again
Though now we're roaring out of frustration.
(Except for the suit for breakfast it really is pretty close.)
If I had a time machine, I'd abduct antivaxxers and take them back in time before vaccines existed and ask them to explain their position to someone who lost half a dozen children to now-preventable illnesses.
Wow, who could’ve ever precicted not vaccinating your kids because you saw your neighborhood drunk stay at home mom who believes in healing crystals “explain” why scientists are wrong was a dumb decision that would lead to this ?
I think this is Nature's way of reducing the population of stupid people. If you're too dumb to listen to the advice of scientists, you're probably too ignorant to survive in modern society. I feel sad for the waste of humanity but I have no control over your stupidity.
The issue is that it's impacting the children of stupid people (who very well may already be vaccinated). I find it difficult to rejoice in the suffering of innocent people for the actions of another.
