We’ll also have to explain it this year too so buckle up
It just makes me so mad and sad that there is such a profound amount of misinformation out there that people who are trying to make the very best choices for their families are led to believe that this is optional.
This twit should probably actually use their words, since when you read this, the eye just catches on “mamas who DO their kids” and makes their post extra gross for a second.
But then, this person *is* the epitome of bad choices.
They probably don’t know it, or don’t give a shit, but just being seriously ill is no fun, even if you survive.
It’s not just dying that’s a complication of measles. It does an immune system wipe (at least a partial one). It can also cause lifelong seizures and brain damage.
I just took my kids to the doctor to make sure they could get every possible vaccination they are due for because the moron in charge of DHS may ban them. The doctor told me they have near daily meetings to discuss what ridiculous possibilities lie ahead. I suggest everyone that can to please do the same.
Q. What do the police in Uvalde, Tx have in common with parents who don’t vaccinate their offspring?
A. >!They stand by and watch while children die.!<
Heard on the [radio](https://www.npr.org/2025/03/15/nx-s1-5327403/everything-you-need-to-know-about-measles-as-cases-continue-to-climb) this morning.
“The main side effects of vaccines is adults…”
– Dr. Carlos del Rio of Emory University
Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with Experience
“not dying, got it. But what are the benefits? Like, would I get a check from George Soros or what?”
In 2025 having to explain this to the Surgeon General of the United States of America was actually a part of someone’s job.
not having the blood of children who couldn’t be vaccinated for medical reasons on my hands.
I don’t understand this logic. For people born before 2000, I would imagine that the vast majority of us are immunized. Most of these parents that are anti-vax have received vaccines. Do they not have the ability to deduce from their lifelong observations and personal experience, that vaccines are generally safe?
Same reason I put seatbelts on them, feed them healthy food, don’t leave them unattended or with strangers. People are creating problems out of boredom I swear. Go ahead live like a medieval peasant see how you like it. Just don’t travel& create problems for the rest of us,
People who take medicine… what are the benefits? *has dent in the middle of head*
Talk about frustrating, this is the third time this week that I’ve had to remind someone that it’s 2025. Weird.
When scientists were respected this shit didn’t happen.
Mama’s who keep an eye on their kids, don’t let them wander off in public or jump out of a window… What are the benefits
Fuck em, if you’re so dumb you reject settled science and don’t vaccinate your kids, that’s on them.
Living with antivax family, working in pharmacy… neice had what sounded like whooping cough for like ever. Shit was getting passed between everyone like a joint. After 1 round of antibiotics, “oh didn’t work. So nothing will. Better not follow up.”
Everyone kept asking me, “how aren’t you getting sick?”
Me, “cause I’ve had my shots.” Only one here to not have gotten splatter cough and fever. But you know vaccines are the devil.
It’s infuriating af
Stop trying. Just let ‘em die.
So you dont put your kids through actual deadly diseases ?
We have a measles outbreak, the parents took their kid to the walk in clinic and then to Costco for 2 hours

This is crazy
Lemon, it’s 2025.
tiny coffins
I hate hopelessly stupid people the same why I do mosquitos
Of all the cases in TX, only 2 are vaccinated. Meaning a lot more vaccinated people were exposed and didnt get sick.
Not having to worry about neurological side effects of measles is great
It’s insane to me. Just insane.
Never mind the lost time/money from work, the lost sleep and stress, etc that caring for a sick child takes.
Or dying of polio. Or rubella. Or Whooping Cough. or chicken pox, or tetanus, or diphtheria, or …
Why is this backwards ass format accepted? The reply is read first every time. Why?
Dads need to speak up.
The low IQ comes from vaccinations! No. Wait.
As a medical professional, we’re blowing a lot of this out of proportion. I do agree that people should get their shots absolutely. Having grown up in the 60s, not that many people died from measles as we are led to believe. Again, I am not condoning not getting your shots!!!! Absolutely vaccinate! But we don’t need inaccuracies to explain a good point!
Its 2025
You don’t have to vaccinate *all* your kids, just the ones you want to keep.
Mama’s who do drugs with their kids?
So shooting up your child with heroin prevents measles, got it 👍
