Lol, anyone willing to listen to health experts is already immunized (assuming they're able). They'd almost be better off saying: there is a short supply of vaccines and the gubment doesn't want to give them to citizens.

Save the awareness campaign money. Instead buy child sized body bags and create negligent parent laws.

Correct. These people want to live in our society without contributing or even protecting others in our society. If you don't vaccinate your children you are breaking the social contract and I have no sympathy for them.

I mostly agree with this sentiment, but it's not just people who choose not to get a vaccine that get hurt. It can also harm children too young to get vaccinated and people with immune systems that can't handle a vaccine.

Just tell them all that it has been piped into the water supply and the only cure from forced water vaccines is to get a needle at the hospital. Also make sure the needle is in the shape of a Christian cross with a figure of Christ on it. And let it glow and play the Star Spangled Banner as it is being injected.

It amazes me that this idiocracy continues to grow. My son turned 1 this past Sunday. Yesterday, he got his MMR vaccine and his chicken pox vaccine. These idiots are afraid of science. I'm afraid of my son dying from a totally preventable disease.

Ya, a self fixing problem in the end. The only crappy part is they'll take down immune compromised people that need others to be functioning parts of society.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

And babies. The person above's son was not immune to those diseases when he was younger than 1.

Measles: "and I took that personally"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I really hope this is the time measles unretired to go play for the Wizards and not the time measles unretired after playing minor league baseball

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They'd rather beg for it in the hospital when it's too late like they did with COVID.

"It's my right to be a plague rat!"

As someone who is married to a person that cannot be vaccinated against measles, I also plead with people to get vaccinated.
