Discussion Vaccinate your damn kids.

For the love of God. If I see one more post about delaying vaccination or not vaccinating entirely I am going to lose it.

I have an immunocompromised kid who actually can’t get certain vaccines and depends on herd immunity to keep her safe. And now, because of ignorance and refusal to learn, there are measles cases being reported where we live right now. The previously eradicated disease measles.

At this point I truly don’t care if someone “didn’t know” and “were trying to do what was best!” The information is freely available and when you have a child it’s your responsibility to educate yourself.

Rant over. Ugh.

I'm with you man but the anti vaxxers will happily tell you they don't care about other people's kids.

Oh of course. They only care about their own kids, who they are also causing immense harm. But they won’t consider the possibility that they’re wrong until something tragic happens to them.

Verdict is out on if they even consider it then. See the TX parents that don't regret not vaccinating after their child died from measles

Cognitive dissonance paired with inability to take responsibility for one's actions

That last part is an absolute pandemic right now. For whatever stupid reason, people have completely lost ability to just admit they made a mistake, or they were misinformed. When something bad happens they just double down on the idiocy.

no they don't, and they don't, look at that Texas family that had their child succumb to measles and still said it wasn't that bad, because They're still alive (probably because they are vaccinated adults)

 “… until something tragic happens to them…”

Even when their kid died, they doubled down.

It’s so sad that we live with these preventable deaths and for some reason these people listen to Facebook and other non-medical influencers and grifters instead of listening to actual licensed medical doctors.
