Hahahahahahaha have fun with that, Texas, and other antivax-friendly states. I’m out of sympathy. You shit your bed, now lie in it.
I’m gonna get so much mileage out of this gif. But I like it better with no text - it’s more flexible that way
The problem isn’t with the idiots who voted for it though. The problem is that the children, you know the innocent ones who can’t make decisions, are the ones who get to suffer. As are the people around the idiots who have weaker immune systems, and who may have not voted for the stupid or may just be too old and/or vulnerable. I love watching the actual idiots get their comeuppance, but I hate seeing innocent people suffer for their arrogant selfishness.
Can I add to this.
There’s a lot of people that aren’t able to get the vaccine who otherwise would be vaccinated.
Immunocompromised, allergy to MMR, chemo, steroids and other meds. The list goes on. These people are now in danger of suffering from hearing loss, brain damage, going blind, lung damage, learning disabilities seizures…and death.
All because Tinfoil Totin Tammy wants to be a Facebook Pharma Fighter but wound up putting the “no” in immunology” instead.
That’s my wife. To say we’re worried would be an understatement.
Same. Almost died from MMR vaccine as a child. I live in a blue state so I’m not terribly worried, but I may become a test case in avoiding death from this shit before too long. Hope they get it under control and you had your wife never have to experience measles.
I know. I’m still out of sympathy. They’re gonna be indoctrinated by their parents and will continue being the proximate (and yes, I know that’s not the root) cause of the problem. Sometimes the symptoms need to be addressed before the underlying issues are.
I’m on a medication that suppresses my immune system. I know precisely what the dangers are here.
I disagree. I’m glad people like my brother’s friend kept trying to reach me when I was still roped into the lies my parents regurgitated from the Republicans and ultra wealthy. It takes effort to get through that wall and reach the person. For me, it was pointing out all the lies I was being a mouthpiece to and checked for myself. He wasn’t mad, or condescending, and through his patience I realized all the shit my parents believed were basically all bullshit.
As for this comment, I get the sentiment behind it, but abandoning these youth as they parrot their parents’, just prove what the right says about the others like the Democrat party. I agree that a lot of their parents are long gone through propaganda and a buildup of lead in their brains, but we can get through to youth if we don’t write them off out of the gate.
The sins of the father
Yeah, that’s literally how evolution works!
The morons’ kids don’t live to reproduce, otherwise idiocracy reigns.
In the past the dangerous morons sent their kids to die in war, and the people who stayed behind were the ones who were more peaceful, that’s how civilization happened.
Historically, the number of people who have been offered a choice about whether or not their children would participate in a war is vanishingly small compared to those who have not.
That’s not how evolution works. You’re glossing over the whole “nature vs nurture” debate. Antivax stances are very much nurture based, and definitely not an inheritable characteristic. There may be a slight bias due to intelligence, but there is no shortage of stupid people who are just as willing to vaccinate their kids as smart people.
