Lmfao
if i didn’t laugh, i’d cry
Too fucking bad so fucking sad
Instead of thoughts and prayers we should send lols and memes.
I would agree… But this is hitting children who don’t have the choice. I wouldn’t wish the death of a child on a parent. It should be the parents getting measles and suffering
Unfortunately the children are the victims. I wish a pox on every adult who voted for this to get this ailment but not the children who don’t have any choice
I am so shocked. You mean the government pushing anti-vax would make people less likely to get vaccinated!? Good thing RFK will save us, unless that woke mob prevents him.
Just drink distilled water and raw milk and do a bunch of push-ups, and that measles won’t get you. All those childhood vaccines are just a trick by Big Public Health to make more people autistic so they can sell those autism pills.
(Honestly, he’s not even wrong that people should invest hard effort in the basics of health, and that would help with some of these generalized “my health is shit” conditions that people are always falling apart from. And he’s not wrong that a lot of modern medicine is a corrupt scam. But it’s somehow unerringly directed not at the problem areas, and instead at the areas that actually are working, to try to tear those down instead. Personally my conspiracy theory is that at least some of the woo comes from pharmaceutical and insurance companies themselves, to take all the absolutely-inevitable-at-this-point righteous “the whole thing is bullshit” anger and direct it away from themselves and at the public health authorities and individual doctors and nurses instead. I have no evidence but it’s what I choose to believe.)
He is right for all the wrong reasons. Or as another famous saying tells us a broken clock is right twice a day. Beware of people who point out problems without solutions.
In addition to a generally miserable illness, measles can cause complications: 1 in 5 unvaccinated people with measles in the US end up hospitalized. About 1 in 10 develop ear infections and/or diarrhea, and 1 in 20 develop pneumonia. Between 1 to 3 in 1,000 die of the infection. In rare cases, it can cause a fatal disease of the central nervous system called Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, which typically develops 7 to 10 years after an infection. Measles can also devastate immune responses to other infections (immune amnesia), making people who recover from the illness vulnerable to other infectious diseases.
Man, if only there were a near instantaneous way to prevent any of that from happening.
Jesus Christ, even when I thought it was just like a skin rash and potentially gnarly fever, I would have vaccinated.
Good. Fuck 'em.
Remember, the study that antivaxx point as the source of their claims concluded with “give three different vaccines instead of this combined one”. Even with their fake, greed induced, arguments, it asks people to vaccinate.
