    Our 13 month old is fully vaccinated. We do this crazy thing where we trust our doctor. He’s doing great and we’re doing our part…it is so frustrating how stupid Republicans are

      The craziest part to me is the docs who believe the conspiracies. You spent all that time studying medicine and don’t believe it?

        My “favorite” moment like this was when I was doing IT for a surgery center and one of the surgeons walked by in a “this mask does nothing” mask.

        Like, how the fuck are you so pilled that your dumb ass ignores a critical part of the PPE you wear literally every day?

        Conspiracy can slander a lot of things. It used to be easy to slander anti-opiate pushing doctors “conspiracy theorists”.

          Are you implying the anti-vax crowd relies on facts, data, and logic and not conspiracies?

            I’m implying that someone can question a “consensus” without being crazy, and can question evidence without being anti-vax. Look at Paul Offit on the more moderate end, or Vinay Prasad on the more extreme end.

                What I said was two very pro-vaccine vaccine researchers who were called conspiracy theorists for saying there may be some costs to mandating vaccination.

                Any and every intervention has a cost, even if its just the cost of paying someone to administer and produce it.

                Relatively safe. They can still cause harm. That’s why the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme is a thing, at least in the UK.

      We had one of our cats in the vet a while back and she noted that he needed his rabies vaccine, and we could tell she was a little nervous about how we would respond. We said, “Do it!”, but apparently she’s had a few people respond negatively…

        Declining your pet’s rabies vaccine?

        As in, your pet could contract rabies, bite or scratch you, and then you don’t get the shot in time due to either denial, or you’re too ignorant to see the symptoms of rabies in your pet, or they are displaying the more subtle symptoms and you don’t catch it?

        Even if you do catch it and treat yourself, now Fluffy has a fatal illness and has to die.

        What an astoundedly stupid decision.
