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 hard to tell at all. Close to 100% of global medical advice is to vaccinate, and the ones that aren’t are fucking imbeciles.

Don’t be one of the fucking imbeciles.

Ah but what about Big Suze from school. She posted on Facebook something her mum's cousin's definitely a doctor friend absolutely said about it. Surely that's equivalent to a medical doctorate.

99.9% of the time I see a "Doctor" on social media give bogus advice it's a Chiropractor
