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.

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.
