After this's all over, I hope the U.S. gov't bills Trump for the damage he's done to our reputation

Well, when we have an outbreak of something heinous like polio, then maybe these dumbasses will understand why it is we vaccinate.
Which is most of their problem, really. They havent lived through an epidemic or seen the effects of disease up close.

[D.o.S.]

And the shitty part is that there are people who can't get vaccinated that will die because some folks are retarded.

[Iommic Pope]

Yeah which is my main problem with it.
That and those poor kids didnt get to choose to have stupid parents, who were probably vaccinated themselves and wont likely suffer the dieases their own children contract due to their negligence.

[Iommic Pope]

It makes my banana sad

Don't forget it's not just kids who can't get vaccines that suffer because Herd immunity is impacted it's babies who aren't fully vaccinated yet. So glad our Dr. won't see kids who's parents refuse vaccines.


I also feel bad for people actually on the autism spectrum because anti-vaccers are saying, "I would rather my child have polio than have a chance (not scientifically proven) of getting autism"

[Iommic Pope]

Exactly.
I work with people with disabilities, a lot of them intellectual/learning disabilities, and mostly those that would fall under the "severe" diagnosis, and that mentality is just fucking insulting.
No shortage of angry parents who want to blame a vaccine though. And sadly some of them very intelligent people.
Rage knows no bounds.

[D.o.S.]

I mean obviously they're not that intelligent if they're crippled by confirmation bias and an overwhelming fear of having "inferior" children.

[Jwar]

Anti Vaxxers are fucking idiots. That shit has been debunked scientifically and medically on so many levels, but they won't believe the research. They'd rather believe some douche nozzle that admitted to falsifying lab results, lost his license to practice and then came out with a doc claiming the same shit years later. Or a playboy bunny who's kid has autism because #vaccinesarebad.

No one wants to look at the fact that our food and water quality is such shit and there could be some correlation there between the onset of birth defects and nutrient deficiencies in the womb.

I'm just speculating of course.

[D.o.S.]

I agree with you, but I think there's a ton of factors there. We have fewer kids dying at a young age (yay!) , people having kids when they're older (sometimes much older), more advanced taxonomies of the brain, more people in general... There's a whole host of factors that would seem to get at the emergence of these sorts of things -- as well as the food/water/environment stuff -- but, no, obviously it's the vaccines.

Don't forget about the air we breathe, motherfucker!

-- as well as the food/water/environment stuff --

Yeah!

[D.o.S.]

Speaking of this whole EPA thing is really not a good look.

[Disarm D'arcy]

I think you just have to stay off gluten during pregnancy

[Chankgeez]

Yes, let's go back to being cavemen and cavewomen.

We're regressing in so many other ways anyway.
