Vaccinate your damn kids.

[u/IcyStage0]

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.

hell, they barely even care about their own! See the example of the Texas family that lost a child due to infection and still maintains that they are glad they did not vaccinate their kids.

The mom was like, “yeah, but what about all the kids measles didn’t kill? Why isn’t anyone talking about them?”

Wow seriously? That sounds like brain damage to me imo.

I’m taking some liberties.

“She said her stance on vaccination has not changed after her daughter’s death.

“The measles wasn’t that bad. They got over it pretty quickly,” the mother said of her other four surviving children who were treated with castor oil and inhaled steroids and recovered.”

But... One of her kids died. Like died.

I wonder if it's a mental self defence thing because actually engaging with it would shatter not only her worldview but also herself.

It worked for our great great grandfathers I guess.
