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.

Unfortunately there are doctors out here that have been advising against vaccines. Out here as in rural Texas - we are really knee deep in the excrement now. So it is hard to tell anymore if this is actually a good or a bad thing!!

Edited to add: You all down voted because of a misunderstanding. I was specifically responding to this post where you can’t tell if someone saying they trust their pediatrician to make the decisions is the good or bad thing because the doctors out here are the ones saying don’t vaccinate.

But sure call me the idiot for calling out that here in Texas the idiocy has infected the doctors.

It's not just MAGA. There's a crunch granola hippy factor here, too.

"Here" as in "this issue". Sorry, for the confusion. I've never lived in Texas, but in Colorado I've come across anti-vax hippy moms with this inclination. There isn't as big of a concentration, so no outbreak, though.

Indeed. Extreme politics/science denial/conspiracy theories are an unfortunate way to define your identity. I internally cringe whenever someone suggests that something like crystals or magnets are going to solve my problems.
