Anti-Vax Movement

[A Witty Name]

What I find funny about this one is that the anti-vaxxer who made this would have lost because you need 200 points and not 100.

The victim complex on this person is so great they even came up with an evil pro-vaxxer working in a fucking homeopathic clinic shaming their own customers for buying their shit instead of real medicine

They've worked so long at this store that they no longer believe in homeopathy but they also can't leave.

I’d really love to hear them explain how a single one of these is false

anti-vaxers based out of Minnesota are holding measles infection parties to get their child infected on purpose.

They're risking their kids to a fatal, incurable degenerative brain disease at or before teenage. But I guess it beats (the imaginary chance of) getting autism right?

 

[Sargon's wife's son]

Irrational weirdos who don't understand the benefits of immunizing children against dangerous diseases who would gladly put other people's children at risk for their own crazy beliefs.

There's a reason Anti-Vaxxers have been memed and mocked to hell and back!

Unvaccinated Oregon boy, 6, nearly dies of tetanus, racks up $1 million in bills

He was the first case in Oregon in 30 years.

"The disease is preventable by taking a vaccine, but the child wasn’t vaccinated. Nor is he still."
There's no excuse for these parents, they saw what happened, they know these diseases are actually horrible now, they saw doctors can actually do great things by healing their kid, yet still would rather kill him than admit wrongdoing

If I were that kid, I'd feel like my parents hate me.

Real talk, with policies banning people who aren’t vaccinated from traveling or getting into public places gaining steam as of late, where would people who legitimately can’t get vaccinated fit into this? Are there some sort of exemptions, e.g. if you can get medical papers from a doctor or some sort of genetic test that proves it?

I'd assume so, as these laws are meant to protect immunocomprimised people, not ream them in the ass.

You guys seem knowledgeable on the subject. Perhaps I could ask the question I was discussing with a friend earlier and we realized we were both unknowledgeable on the subject.

What country has the best vaccine plan?

Is it true that sweden has like half the vaccines planned for childhood than the US or is that some deceptive language?

No idea whose plan would be best because in part that's due to different countries being at risk for different viruses. Countries with lots of elderly people might have the chicken pox vaccine very commonly given to prevent shingles while other countries only give it to you if you didn't get it yourself before age 18. Third world countries might still have vaccines for things which have been erradicated in other, wealthier countries (the bubonic plague still exists btw).
The United States, Canada, the UK, etc all have very large populations and lots of immigration and travel within them which means we just need more vaccinations than smaller places. Countries also might not require a particular vaccine as something doesn't exist there but will require that all travelers there have a vaccine against it just in case
At the end of the day though, most countries (at least first world countries) have pretty similar amounts of required vaccines and dosages. Though unfortunately some countries are trying to find ways to reduce dosages and change safe ingredients simply to try and please the idiots which wastes time, money, and researchers
Here's a site with a bit of info about the Sweden thing among other interesting things: https://vaxopedia.org/2017/04/23/immunization-schedules-from-other-countries/

My mom got the Mumps when she was a kid and from what she told me it was obviously a horrible experience. Not just from feeling sick but she was suffering from scary hallucinations from it along with less treatment because of allergies.

After the story she told me I can't believe parents would allow their kids to go through an illness like that.

It's a shame they never think that far ahead of such dangers.

I see this has happened...

When I see these types of stories I'm grateful that my mom had enough common sense to have me get all my vaccinations. One thing that creeped me out was a personal story I read many years ago where a school nurse was claiming that some antivax parents faked vaccination notes because children who weren't vaccinated weren't allowed to go to school.

Damn. That is the most dishonest thing any parent would do to any child.

I was hoping it wasn't true but sadly I can see a parent doing that. The nurse said she found out they were forged and the kid was banned from going to the school.

Jesus.

That poor kid.

Sorry if late, but unfortunately people have opposed vaccines for a long time. One of the most notable incidents occurred when the Brazilian government tried to mandate vaccines and the people revolted. This is my favorite depiction of the conflict, lol.

Suppose anti-vaxxers got their wish and vaccines were totally banned worldwide, yet new cases of autism continued to crop up. Would they finally admit that they were wrong, or would they simply accuse the parents of getting "black-market" vaccines?
