Anti-vaxxers unleash measles upon Disney

[Ksandra]

Are all the kids that are not vaccinated home schooled?

No. Even public schools have exemption forms people can fill out for "religious reasons."

What religion?

If I was the school, I'd be like

There are some states that don't permit children to attend public schools if they use voluntary vaccination exemptions (most are in the deep South).

My older brother is an anti-vaxxing, organic, "no GMO", holistic, anti-fluoride, border-protecting, pro-gun hipster, but hippy he is far from in any honest sense of the word. I've already debunked the vax argument; no credible links to autism, how he's probably had more mercury from a single serving of salmon, that's only the flu vaccine anyways, yet still insists I haven't "done the research." Convincing this lot is going to take a lot more than Mickey getting the measles, I'm afraid.

You need to sneak your neices/nephews in to get their shots. Fuck your brother.

Fact checked myself really quickly...

So West Virginia and Mississippi do not permit religious exemptions; of the other 48 states permitting religious exemptions, 19 states also permit "philosophical" exemptions. All states permit medical exemption if you can prove an allergy to the vaccine.

It's child abuse, and we should pass laws that say just that.

While I have major issues if you don't want to get vaccinated, including the fact that you are putting me in danger, there are some flimsy arguments that can be made. None can be made for children.

My favorite part of all of this is she and all her stupid anti-vaxxers are implying that autism is worse than dying from an easily preventable illness. That people with autism are better off dead.

As someone who is on the autistic spectrum, I want to hurt her. I'm not even joking, if I saw Jenny McCarthy on the street I would attack her physically. Hit her with a car, shank her, what have you. She has so much blood on her hands that she should be forcibly removed from this world.

None of my brothers, or myself, have kids. We would all make terrible parents for various reasons, but thank the heavens my older conspiracy bro didn't pop out a baby with any number of his psycho girlfriends.

[Meresgi]

People that compare this shit to say, the flu vaccine, also piss me off. They are completely different. Go fucking drag your kid to the doctor and jab them with the needle for christ sake. You are not smarter then every doctor in existence.

I agree with Tarage, it is child abuse.

CAN'T ARGUE WITH THAT /thread

They look like the burrs that fall off sweetgum trees. Those things get in the lawn mower, stab your feet, and make you fall. Therefore viruses are inherently evil and their only purpose is to make us miserable. /thread

MUH FREEDOMS. I have the freedom as a U.S. Citizen to deny my children protections that parents in lesser countries would literally kill to have provided to and for their children.

MUH FREEDOM. GOD BLESS.

So what happens to these anti-vax types after their kids get the measles or some shit? Do they suddenly see the light and realize how they fucked up or do they stay anti-vax still?

[Kuya]

They think it's not a big deal and it's better for their kids to get "natural immunity" anyway.

Based on all the unrepentant people who are hauled to court for their kids' death after they failed to administer proper treatment, I bet no.

Thing is, it's really hard to die or have permanent disability even if you do catch measles, which reinforces the "we don't need those anyway" argument.

My fully vaccinated nephew caught chickenpox the other day, the vaccines do fail to provide complete immunity sometimes.

I managed to contract whooping cough at age 27 despite childhood vaccines. Worst seven months of my life.

Probably for the best since I assume he's young.

I got the MMR when I was young. When I started a new job, they wanted me to have titers drawn for all three diseases to make certain I was immune. Turns out I wasn't. My vaccine just wasn't effective. I had to get the full rotation again. Thank god that was picked out because I'm in a dangerous fucking line of work to not have those vaccines.

^ This. Its tough to die from this shit, which only bolsters their absurd claims that its best to completely ignore it. More of that first-world country privilege.

Remember, these are richie rich bastards doing this. While they may have fuck all for brains, they have the bank books to ensure their kids survive.

It's almost like you don't live in the USA! Of course they don't, they either say it was God's will, blame Obama's ACT, blame some random other group or maybe in 1% of them actually do realize they need medicine.
