There's a group of people who mass breed kids, only to end up treating them as little more than resources. They'll have you believe that they LOVE their kids, but they're just building their own little camp of free laborers, outlets for generational trauma, forced friends (they're incapable of making friends who they don't birth into existence or aren't* as shit of people as they are) and failed attempts to create an exact ideological clone of themselves. Because god forbid you have to exist in a planet with someone who doesn't share your belief that vaccines make you trans/autistic*

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

that they're willing to let some of their kids die rather than get a vaccine they think might turn them trans or autistic shows how much they value the lives of trans and autistic people.

Lady living 300 years ago. Have 10 kids because 4 are going to die.

Reminds me of the joke, why was the antivaxxers toddler crying?

Mid life crisis.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

hmmm.... even if vaccines caused autism (they don't,) 1 out of 36 kids with autism vs 1 out of 5 dead.

yeah. what a dumbass.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

Good gravy. Don't use data in that way. If you say 1 in 36 of all kids get autism with the vaccines and then use a sample size of 5 and say 1 in 5 die of not getting vaccines, you just make the data sound stupid. 1 in 5 out of the full number of unvaccinated children aren't dying... I also doubt 1 in 36 out of all vaccinated children are getting autism from the vaccine, but it is posited in the statement as a fact so the logic of the next statement has to match. Suppose a family has one child who dies of an unexpected allergic reaction to the vaccine, and their family tells others that they really should still get vaccinated, is she saying that despite there being a 100% death rate for vaccines because 1 out of 1 children died? Is she stupid?... Keep to the high road and keep the rhetoric out of it...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

You’re right, it is bad data. But- if this scares some one who’s hesitant into keeping their kids safe, I’m not gonna apologize. She had five kids. Lost one because of a stupid fucking decision, and as this goes on, it’s only going to get worse.

I checked the rate of autism, not very authoritatively, mind, 1 in 36 are diagnosed. So if you have a better rate on that, I’d be happy to update.

As for if it’s the vaccine causing autism? The study they all sight used 12 kids that all had autism and all had the then-modern MMR vax. Pretty sure they all wore clothes. Also pretty sure they all ate pb&js.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I get what you were saying and in spirit I agree and emotionally I want them to know how stupid they are. And I definitely agree that getting people to take vaccines is worth any amount of effort. I feel like rhetoric with bad data representation gives fuel to the other side rather than scaring the people who need to be scared though.

The measles wasn't that bad, and they got over it pretty quickly

Obviously, the child that died was just weak and deserved to die. ^/s^

Kid didn’t deserve to die, but that woman absolutely deserved to lose a child

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

She seems fine with it tbh

"We're grieving but also no one get the vaccines the government is evil and ...."

Lady, what the fuck is wrong with your head?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

what the fuck is wrong with your head?

She's a magat. That's all we need to know.

Also, psychopathy.

Right wingers do think like this. They'll claim it's just survival of the fittest and it's God's plan and evolution doesn't exist and we're all free to make our own choices as long as they agree with God's prejudices in whose image they're created but not you and all life is sacred and God is love but watch out because he hates you if you don't hate gays and libs and brown people enough. It's a mindfuck, and no wonder these people are a mess.

Hopefully none of those other kids don’t die from SSPE in a decade. That shit is terrifying.

And then there were four. New disease raises its avoidable head: then there were 3.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

This is some super fucked up shit.

Americans, you'll need make sacrifices and deal with very difficult and scary choices if you want to deal with this and everything else that is happening in your country. Freedom isn't a mere polemic.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago

They have sacrificed many things already: medicine, education, freedom. What else do you want them to sacrifice?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

The dumb idols of the right wing gods are angry and demand human sacrifice.

What a stupid timeline.

Pretty sure the father and mother got vaccins for about every child diseases, when they were kids
