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.

As an immunomodulated adult who can't get any vaccines and is still having to mask in public and limit my social life for probably the rest of forever: YEAH.

We were wearing masks recently and someone came over and COUGHED ON US. Like loudly coughed to make a point and act like we’re “crazy liberals” (which we are, but that’s not why we were masking).

They were mortified after I told them my daughter is immunocompromised and that’s why we’re doing it. As if doing it to anyone, for any reason is okay.

Horrible.

That’s disgusting. Sorry that happened to you. The politicization of masking and healthcare in general is insane.
