EDIT #2: What'd you know. This stamp came true after all. 81 unvaccinated Samoans are dead from measles. And most of those deaths are kids under 5.

All 81 of those deaths are on you. Every single fucking one of you. Because if it wasn't for your misinformation and fearmongering, all of those 81 people, especially the children, would still be alive. But they're not...because of you.

So well done, guys. Hope you're real fucking proud of yourselves.

---

EDIT: Some antivaxxers are now drinking bleach or turpentine as homeopathic cures. Or they're forcing their kids to drink them to "cure" things like autism.

So I will reiterate:

FUCK

ALL

OF THEM.

And if they ever unironically recommend drinking legitimate poison for a cure, I would call the police on their ass. Or they mention forcing their children to drink them, immediately report them to CPS. Or else they're going to kill their kid or someone else.

---

EDIT: After witnessing the suffering their 6-year-old boy endured for 57 days and having to pay $800,000+ in treatment costs...The parents still refuse to accept the tetanus boosters and other immunizations (which cost less than $65 or nothing).

Fuck all of them. Fuck every single AVer on this planet. They all deserve to have their kids taken and/or be charged with child endangerment. The fact that some of them have actually said that they'd rather have a dead kid than have them vaccinated, and parents still refusing immunizations after watching their son almost die from his entire body spasming from a tetanus infection...I'm now fully convinced they're child abusers. They just don't realize it because they're too fucking paranoid.

I didn't even know that's what a tetanus infection caused ...It looks like they've been possessed. (That's probably what the ancient peoples thought too before vaccines.) There has to be something seriously mentally wrong with you if you watched your child suffer with that...and you still won't let them get the booster shots afterwords.

Thank god I got the DTaP booster shot a couple years ago...I'm not very flexible and already have a mildly fucked-up spine.

"The Grinning Death"...yup, that totally doesn't sound terrifying at all!

EDIT: AHAHAHAHA YES, THANK YOU, PLAGUE INC DEVS! Now I definitely wanna play that game!

Didn't I say on another related stamp that if it weren't for vaccines, this game would be real life?

Related to this stamp and this one, and this.

And I thought the Flat Earth'ers were stupid. But at least their stupidity isn't dangerous. Society needs to start cracking down harder on these abusers. I would love to see more of them facing prison-time for their willful child negligence.

Before I go into a second rant, let me tell you a historical horror story about one of the deadliest outbreaks in history.

20 years before the first flu vaccine was developed, the same virus that causes the common cold infected an estimated 500-million people worldwide, with 675k cases in the US. It was severe enough that the life-expectancy fell to 36-42 years in the US. One of the scariest things about it? This particularly deadly strain mostly killed healthy young people, when the flu usually hits children and elderly the hardest. It hit military camps hard, which is no surprise, since soldiers had to live in close quarters. It also didn't help that government officials tried to keep reports of the illness under wraps to prevent people from panicking during wartime and to keep up the morale. In just one month (October 1918) during one of the epidemic's waves, more than 100,000 Americans died from the disease.

By the time the worldwide pandemic was over, the flu killed 50 million people. Some sources claim it killed more than the Black Death/Black Plague that wiped out 30-60% of Europe and a 3rd of the world's population in the Middle Ages. Either way, it's no wonder this flu pandemic is ranked as one of the deadliest outbreaks in human history. And that deadly strain still exists even today, still making its rounds across the globe, and even evolving to be drug-resistant. That's why the vaccine is updated every flu-season. If it's not, it won't work at all.

And speaking of the medieval Black Death...That horror of a disease is still out there too. Some historians have estimated the starting point of the plague in China during the 1330s. But from then on, outbreaks of the plague wrecked havoc across the globe for ~400 years, often reoccurring in various places it struck before. It took out 20%-60% of various region's populations each time an outbreak happened. Last I read, it infected a child in Idaho last year. In 2017, it killed 170 people in Madagascar.

This is why vaccines were invented. If it weren't for them, people would be dying by the thousands every year from these horrors. Smallpox used to kill by the thousands...Now it's been completely eradicated from the world, all because of the vaccine.

"B-But vaccines have poisons!!1!"

Prescription drugs have some of the same "poisons," yet you don't seem to be complaining about those.

Vaccines only carry extremely tiny amounts of chemical ingredients that aren't enough to kill you. They're added to the vaccine to keep the virus or bacteria inactive, so it doesn't become a full-blown disease. And some of those same chemical additives are in our foods.

"No, I mean they have chemicals like formaldehyde or aluminum!"

EVERYTHING IS A CHEMICAL OR IS MADE OF CHEMICALS. Every fucking tangible thing on this fucking planet is a chemical or made up of chemicals and has a scientific, sometimes "scary"-sounding name. Even your own blood is nothing but a chemical mixture.

Formaldehyde is naturally produced by your own body as part of its metabolism. The aluminum salts in vaccines is not the same kind of foil you use to wrap up leftovers. Just because it has a scary-sounding chemical name does not mean it's dangerous.

By themselves, sodium is explosive in water, and chloride is poisonous, sure. But do you know what they make when they're combined into sodium chloride?

Table salt.

Yup, that super-common white tasty food-additive/seasoning!

It can be toxic though...In super-large quantities, of course.

And this one's my favorite one to mind-fuck you guys with: Guess what dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) is? Or it's other name: hydroxylic acid? It causes corrosion and can sometimes lead to suffocation when inhaled.

It's water.

Of course, nobody--not even actual chemists or other scientists--call it by those names, which is why ignorant people who don't remember their basic chemistry classes freak out when they hear/see this name, or when someone describes its effects to make it sound dangerous.

If you still don't believe me, lemme break down the chemistry for you:

> Di-hydrogen (H2) + monoxide (O) = H2O

It's 2 (di-) hydrogen molecules attached to a single (mono-) oxygen (-oxide) molecule.

Carbon monoxide (CO) = toxic (that colorless, odorless, tasteless invisible gas that can fucking kill you without you even knowing it's there...'Tis why most houses have a CO detector. Or they should have one.)

Carbon dioxide (CO2) = toxic (that big pollutant that makes up the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that climatologists are always reasonably freaking out about, as it's the biggest cause of global warming/climate change.)

One thing I remember from all the science-y shows and classes is that CO2 is what we exhale and the trees and plants absorb...But there's not enough trees on the planet to absorb all of it AND we're producing FAR TOO MUCH of it too quickly for the Earth's environment(s) to properly regulate...Thus, why global warming is happening.

Hell, even pure oxygen can kill you. It's actually not what we breathe in. The air we're naturally inhaling is not pure oxygen...It's oxygen + something(s) else that I don't remember, that takes the toxicity out of the oxygen (I think).

"They use aborted fetuses (or some other ridiculous bullshit ingredient)!"
Some vaccines do include human serum albumin from human blood. However, the FDA requires any of it to come from screened donors to prevent any transmission of blood-related diseases. The claim of them containing aborted fetuses is just fearmongering bullshit from pro-lifers. And if you're honestly afraid that any animal cells are going to turn you into an animal-human chimera, like the ones in FMA, then you're even more delusional.

"They cause anxiety disorders, anorexia, developmental disorders, etc!"

ALL OF THOSE ISSUES YOU LISTED IN #7 ARE MOSTLY EMOTIONAL DISORDERS AND NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS, WHICH ARE INHERITABLE VIA GENETICS. FOR FUCK'S SAKES, ANOREXIA IS AN EATING DISORDER. DIABETES IS GENETIC OR CAN CAUSED BY BAD DIETING. NONE OF THOSE YOU LISTED HAVE ANY VIABLE CONNECTION TO VACCINES, YOU DENSE, ABLEIST MOTHERF*CKERS.

"Most outbreaks happen in highly vaccinated communities!"

Then explain why one of the counties with a low rate of immunizations has such a serious measles outbreak, the governor of Washington declared a state of emergency, and why most of the infected are unvaccinated kids?!

I've been given the MMR vaccine as a child and I've never contracted measles, mumps, or whooping cough. Explain that too.

"Contracting mild diseases like measles or chickenpox have many long-term benefits!"

That's NOT how "natural immunity" works. That's not how any of this shit works. If you're infected with any disease, then you're NOT immune. One of the few ways you can gain immunity to certain disease is if you A) inherit the immunity from a relative, B) gain active immunity due to exposure of a disease via vaccines or antibiotics, or C) gain passive immunity from the outside environment or through stuff like breastmilk or blood-transfusions.

And no, if you caught chickenpox, then I've got some bad news for ya, buddy! You're at risk for developing shingles in your later adult years! The older you get, the higher the risk! WHAT FUN, AMIRITE???

Chickenpox and shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Those who weren't vaccinated for the chickenpox and ended up catching it (me, just before the vaccine was available) have a much higher risk of getting shingles because the virus is already in you.

And I've already experienced shingles too! (I think...It was so mild, the school doctor and I mistook it for a stress-rash. It appeared mysteriously, stayed a couple weeks...and then mysteriously disappeared. So I guess because my chickenpox was mild, the shingles was also mild...? )

"Herd immunity doesn't work!"

Of course it won't work...If nobody's vaccinated.

Herd immunity only works when plenty of people are vaccinated. The less vaccinated, the higher the risk of outbreaks to occur, such as the measles outbreaks in Washington and other states, as well as developing countries like those in Africa because of the lack of modern medicine and lack of vaccines. Why else do you think Ebola spread like fucking wildfire in the Congo? (And the Ebola outbreaks are STILL happening over there to this day. ) People were dropping like flies, faster than they could be buried, and scavengers were helping spread the disease from the corpses. Between 2014-2016, the disease spread worldwide, infecting over 28,000 people and it killed close to 12,000. 1 ebola-related death even happened here in the States. The reason it didn't spread very fast here is because we have vaccines and the infected people were quickly quarantined and treated with modern medicine, which they have very little access to in the Congo.

"But doctors are paid to give vaccines!"

Of fucking course they're paid...BECAUSE IT'S PART OF THEIR JOB TO KEEP YOU HEALTHY, YOU FUCKING HALFWITS. And if you stay healthy, the less likely you're going to spread diseases that will put others at risk.

"Vaccines aren't 100% effective!"

So are seatbelts, antivirus software, parachutes, air bags, prescription meds, condoms, armor, helmets, etc. Healthy foods aren't 100% healthy. Does that mean you shouldn't eat them? Do you also not wash your hands since soap isn't 100% effective in eliminating germs? My prescription meds I'm required to take aren't 100% effective in controlling the symptoms, so I guess I should just not take them anymore. Maybe I should go uninstall my antivirus while I'm at it and never wear a seatbelt while driving anymore. I skydived out of a plane at 12,000ft in New Zealand, despite being terrified of the .003% chance of being killed because our parachute not deploying or something else going wrong in the stunt. I did it anyway despite the risk...Don't think I'll tempt Death a second time, but the experience was still breathtaking that I'll keep the memory for a long time and I obviously survived it.

But srsly? You won't get vaccines because they're not 100% effective? What a pathetic excuse for an argument. Honestly, this is my favorite stupid argument out of all the bullshit I've heard from this group. Armor wasn't 100% effective in protecting knights either, and yet, they wore armor to battle anyway. If knights were smart enough to know that some protection was better than none, even back in the medieval ages, then this excuse is just sad.

"The government is spraying diseases through CHEMTRAILS !!1!!"

...Those are contrails. They're from condensation coming off of airplanes at high altitudes, due to changes in air pressure or atmospheric conditions. Not the Feds spraying biohazards to mind-control people as some secret chemical warfare.

Besides, if this many people know about some secret, evil government plot to mind-control citizens or poison them with "chemtrails"...The Feds are doing a really shitty job keeping people quiet about it. Because if members of the general public know about this, the Feds would be killing them off for whistleblowing. But they're not. It's almost as if the whole fucking conspiracy is pure, convoluted bullshit.

"B-But essential oils/crystals/herbs..."

...Are you shitting me? Those are about as useless as "thoughts and prayers." For fuck's sakes, I'm an eclectic pagan and my religion uses incense, essential oils, and yes...even crystals. But only for spiritual healing, improving your moods (relaxation, calming, etc), meditation, for rituals, blessings, etc. Homeopathic remedies are not to be used as a substitute for actual medicine. They won't help. At all. Some holistic parent found that out the hard way.

"Vaccines give you the disease(s)!"

Yeah...But they're dead/inactive, and too weak to be much of a threat. That's why chemical additives are included; those are meant to keep the virus/bacteria dead and weak. Once injected, one of the vaccine ingredients triggers the immune system into behaving as if the dead/inactive strain is a live intruder, and responds to it via sending antibodies to beat the fuck out of it. In other words, vaccines are training dummies for the immune system to practice on, in case a serious version of the disease invades later.

However, in rare cases, the immune system overreacts to the vaccine. Like you spotted a really big scary-looking spider in your room and instead of killing it, you jump onto your bed, a chair, or just scramble out of the room, screaming bloody murder. That's pretty much how I imagine the immune system overreacting, if it were a person. Instead of reacting normally ("There's an intruder in here! GET 'EM! "), it overreacts ("WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING?! RUN! RUN AWAAAAAY~ ")...and proceeds to hurt itself. Thus, why sometimes people end up feeling crappy after getting a vaccine or they develop rashes or fevers. (For me, my arms are just sore for a few hours to a couple days, depending on the vaccine. They just feel like I pulled a muscle, or wore out muscles that are rarely exercised, but it's tolerable...and that's saying something because I have low pain-tolerance.)

I'm an animator who constantly has a cartoon fantasy world running in my head almost 24/7, okay? Sometimes my dark humor comes out like this to dumb stuff down for myself, 'cause this stuff is too smart for me.

In an extremely rare cases (1 out of 1 million people), the immune system overreacts so badly that it permanently cripples you and/or compromises your entire immune system. That would be a legit "vaccine-injury" and a perfectly reasonable medical exemption from other vaccinations. Like this lady who got a legit vaccine injury from a tetanus-diptheria vaccine. But she's still pro-vax, because she has to depend on others being vaccinated in order to live.

It is also true that a few childhood vaccines use live strains and those can "shed" and possibly infect others.

...But those cases are also incredibly rare. They don't happen as frequently as you think they do.

Ironically, a supposed anti-vaxxer died from complications of H1N1 and possibly meningitis, at 26 years old, shortly after this past Christmas. 7 years before, she tweeted that vaccines were "evil," so whether or not her opinions on vaccines changed and she got the flu shot earlier remains unclear. However, her friend (my old high school classmate) reported on FB about her struggling with the flu, days before she was found unresponsive.

If you're wondering how the flu could have killed someone who appeared to be perfectly young and healthy just a few days before:

For starters, H1NI is the very same flu strain from the 1918 epidemic that I mentioned above, that killed 50 million people and hit healthy young people the hardest. Like I said, that strain is still going strong even today because it keeps evolving to be more resistant to vaccines.

Second...If you catch one illness, your immune system is weakened, leaving you vulnerable to being infected with another disease at the same time. If you're not vaccinated for anything and you get hit with a double-whammy of illnesses...You're gonna have a really bad time. Thus, why a few sources claimed that Payton died of "complications" of the flu and something else; her immune system may have been overwhelmed with fighting off more than one disease at once.

I know it seems shitty to use someone's death to push some agenda...But I'm not taking this back. All the more reason to be vaccinated.

Unvaccinated people are the ones most likely to get infected and spread diseases. Even to those who are vaccinated because as I said, herd immunity doesn't work if the unvaxxed outnumber the vaxxed. And guess who's the most at risk? Those with immune deficiencies. Because they have such weakened immune systems or no immune systems at all, they can't receive vaccines because with no immune system to respond to it, they'll die from it. So they have to rely on other people vaccinating to stay alive and stay disease-free.

Stop acting like you know better than a trained medical professional. By not vaccinating yourself, you're endangering the lives of everyone around you, vaxxed or unvaxxed. If you don't pull your heads out of your asses and take off the tinfoil hats, your stupidity is going to start killing people...It's already happened for some parents.

And any so-called "medical professional" who's anti-vax should have their medical license revoked and be banned from practicing medicine. To be encouraging this shit and spreading misinformation as a medical expert is downright appalling and dangerous. Of all the stupid fucks in this movement, you're the worst.

I find it astounding that antivax parents refuse to let doctors treat their kids until they're dying. An antivax couple's baby was born blue, meaning he wasn't breathing...and all the mom cared about was him not getting Vitamin K (which isn't even a vaccine). This is why I'm fucking livid with these assholes. One mom didn't care that her baby was born blue...Another one took hers to the hospital for whooping cough...and she still refused to let the doctors treat him, even going so far as to interfere and hinder their efforts. (Have to find the screenshots for that last one...I dunno if I saved them.)

Sorry not sorry, if you're antivax, you can unfollow me right now. I don't want to talk to you, nor do I want to ever associate with you. Disagreeing is fine, but when your disagreeable beliefs put other people's lives at risk...? That crosses a line for me.

Your stupidity is likely to cause another mass extinction if you fuckers keep it up. You make Flat Earth'ers look sane by comparison.

I'm living proof that vaccines are effective and save lives. I've had all my vaccines (except chickenpox) since I was 3 months old. I'm now 27, rarely sick, and have never been hospitalized for any disease or illness. And the last time I was sick in bed was back in 2013, dealing with the flu...for a day. For just ONE day. And I'd rather feel crappy in bed for a day, than to be stuck for several days or weeks in a hospital bed with IVs in my arms and racking up $800,000+ medical bills because I was too fucking ignorant to get vaccinated.

And I'm absolutely terrified of sharp things near my skin...I can just easily look away when getting any vaccines, but if you're gonna put me under the knife, you better knock me out and make sure I stay knocked out. The last time I tried to get blood-work done, I nearly fainted, puked, or both out of sheer terror, thanks to a childhood trauma. They didn't even take a single drop of blood either.

If your child contracts a preventable disease or cancer because of your negligence, do you just say "sorry"? If you truly cared about your child's well-being and want them to live a full life, then get them vaccinated!

scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v… ("I would've grilled the nurse on what she was taught about them..." "If I'm well educated on a subject I speak up" SEND HELP, I'M DYING~ )

scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v… (The reason why it was stopped was because KIDS WERE DYING FROM IT. )

The reason it didn't spread very fast here is because we have vaccines and the infected people were quickly quarantined and treated with modern medicine, which they have very little access to in the Congo.

"But doctors are paid to give vaccines!"

Of fucking course they're paid...BECAUSE IT'S PART OF THEIR JOB TO KEEP YOU HEALTHY, YOU FUCKING HALFWITS. And if you stay healthy, the less likely you're going to spread diseases that will put others at risk.

"Vaccines aren't 100% effective!"

So are seatbelts, antivirus software, parachutes, air bags, prescription meds, condoms, armor, helmets, etc. Healthy foods aren't 100% healthy. Does that mean you shouldn't eat them? Do you also not wash your hands since soap isn't 100% effective in eliminating germs? My prescription meds I'm required to take aren't 100% effective in controlling the symptoms, so I guess I should just not take them anymore. Maybe I should go uninstall my antivirus while I'm at it and never wear a seatbelt while driving anymore. I skydived out of a plane at 12,000ft in New Zealand, despite being terrified of the .003% chance of being killed because our parachute not deploying or something else going wrong in the stunt. I did it anyway despite the risk...Don't think I'll tempt Death a second time, but the experience was still breathtaking that I'll keep the memory for a long time and I obviously survived it.

But srsly? You won't get vaccines because they're not 100% effective? What a pathetic excuse for an argument. Honestly, this is my favorite stupid argument out of all the bullshit I've heard from this group. Armor wasn't 100% effective in protecting knights either, and yet, they wore armor to battle anyway. If knights were smart enough to know that some protection was better than none, even back in the medieval ages, then this excuse is just sad.

"The government is spraying diseases through CHEMTRAILS !!1!!"

...Those are contrails. They're from condensation coming off of airplanes at high altitudes, due to changes in air pressure or atmospheric conditions. Not the Feds spraying biohazards to mind-control people as some secret chemical warfare.

Besides, if this many people know about some secret, evil government plot to mind-control citizens or poison them with "chemtrails"...The Feds are doing a really shitty job keeping people quiet about it. Because if members of the general public know about this, the Feds would be killing them off for whistleblowing. But they're not. It's almost as if the whole fucking conspiracy is pure, convoluted bullshit.

"B-But essential oils/crystals/herbs..."

...Are you shitting me? Those are about as useless as "thoughts and prayers." For fuck's sakes, I'm an eclectic pagan and my religion uses incense, essential oils, and yes...even crystals. But only for spiritual healing, improving your moods (relaxation, calming, etc), meditation, for rituals, blessings, etc. Homeopathic remedies are not to be used as a substitute for actual medicine. They won't help. At all. Some holistic parent found that out the hard way.

"Vaccines give you the disease(s)!"

Yeah...But they're dead/inactive, and too weak to be much of a threat. That's why chemical additives are included; those are meant to keep the virus/bacteria dead and weak. Once injected, one of the vaccine ingredients triggers the immune system into behaving as if the dead/inactive strain is a live intruder, and responds to it via sending antibodies to beat the fuck out of it. In other words, vaccines are training dummies for the immune system to practice on, in case a serious version of the disease invades later.

However, in rare cases, the immune system overreacts to the vaccine. Like you spotted a really big scary-looking spider in your room and instead of killing it, you jump onto your bed, a chair, or just scramble out of the room, screaming bloody murder. That's pretty much how I imagine the immune system overreacting, if it were a person. Instead of reacting normally ("There's an intruder in here! GET 'EM! "), it overreacts ("WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING?! RUN! RUN AWAAAAAY~ ")...and proceeds to hurt itself. Thus, why sometimes people end up feeling crappy after getting a vaccine or they develop rashes or fevers. (For me, my arms are just sore for a few hours to a couple days, depending on the vaccine. They just feel like I pulled a muscle, or wore out muscles that are rarely exercised, but it's tolerable...and that's saying something because I have low pain-tolerance.)

I'm an animator who constantly has a cartoon fantasy world running in my head almost 24/7, okay? Sometimes my dark humor comes out like this to dumb stuff down for myself, 'cause this stuff is too smart for me.

In an extremely rare cases (1 out of 1 million people), the immune system overreacts so badly that it permanently cripples you and/or compromises your entire immune system. That would be a legit "vaccine-injury" and a perfectly reasonable medical exemption from other vaccinations. Like this lady who got a legit vaccine injury from a tetanus-diptheria vaccine. But she's still pro-vax, because she has to depend on others being vaccinated in order to live.

It is also true that a few childhood vaccines use live strains and those can "shed" and possibly infect others.

...But those cases are also incredibly rare. They don't happen as frequently as you think they do.

Ironically, a supposed anti-vaxxer died from complications of H1N1 and possibly meningitis, at 26 years old, shortly after this past Christmas. 7 years before, she tweeted that vaccines were "evil," so whether or not her opinions on vaccines changed and she got the flu shot earlier remains unclear. However, her friend (my old high school classmate) reported on FB about her struggling with the flu, days before she was found unresponsive.

If you're wondering how the flu could have killed someone who appeared to be perfectly young and healthy just a few days before:

For starters, H1NI is the very same flu strain from the 1918 epidemic that I mentioned above, that killed 50 million people and hit healthy young people the hardest. Like I said, that strain is still going strong even today because it keeps evolving to be more resistant to vaccines.

Second...If you catch one illness, your immune system is weakened, leaving you vulnerable to being infected with another disease at the same time. If you're not vaccinated for anything and you get hit with a double-whammy of illnesses...You're gonna have a really bad time. Thus, why a few sources claimed that Payton died of "complications" of the flu and something else; her immune system may have been overwhelmed with fighting off more than one disease at once.

I know it seems shitty to use someone's death to push some agenda...But I'm not taking this back. All the more reason to be vaccinated.

Unvaccinated people are the ones most likely to get infected and spread diseases. Even to those who are vaccinated because as I said, herd immunity doesn't work if the unvaxxed outnumber the vaxxed. And guess who's the most at risk? Those with immune deficiencies. Because they have such weakened immune systems or no immune systems at all, they can't receive vaccines because with no immune system to respond to it, they'll die from it. So they have to rely on other people vaccinating to stay alive and stay disease-free.

Stop acting like you know better than a trained medical professional. By not vaccinating yourself, you're endangering the lives of everyone around you, vaxxed or unvaxxed. If you don't pull your heads out of your asses and take off the tinfoil hats, your stupidity is going to start killing people...It's already happened for some parents.

And any so-called "medical professional" who's anti-vax should have their medical license revoked and be banned from practicing medicine. To be encouraging this shit and spreading misinformation as a medical expert is downright appalling and dangerous. Of all the stupid fucks in this movement, you're the worst.

I find it astounding that antivax parents refuse to let doctors treat their kids until they're dying. An antivax couple's baby was born blue, meaning he wasn't breathing...and all the mom cared about was him not getting Vitamin K (which isn't even a vaccine). This is why I'm fucking livid with these assholes. One mom didn't care that her baby was born blue...Another one took hers to the hospital for whooping cough...and she still refused to let the doctors treat him, even going so far as to interfere and hinder their efforts. (Have to find the screenshots for that last one...I dunno if I saved them.)

Sorry not sorry, if you're antivax, you can unfollow me right now. I don't want to talk to you, nor do I want to ever associate with you. Disagreeing is fine, but when your disagreeable beliefs put other people's lives at risk...? That crosses a line for me.

Your stupidity is likely to cause another mass extinction if you fuckers keep it up. You make Flat Earth'ers look sane by comparison.

I'm living proof that vaccines are effective and save lives. I've had all my vaccines (except chickenpox) since I was 3 months old. I'm now 27, rarely sick, and have never been hospitalized for any disease or illness. And the last time I was sick in bed was back in 2013, dealing with the flu...for a day. For just ONE day. And I'd rather feel crappy in bed for a day, than to be stuck for several days or weeks in a hospital bed with IVs in my arms and racking up $800,000+ medical bills because I was too fucking ignorant to get vaccinated.

And I'm absolutely terrified of sharp things near my skin...I can just easily look away when getting any vaccines, but if you're gonna put me under the knife, you better knock me out and make sure I stay knocked out. The last time I tried to get blood-work done, I nearly fainted, puked, or both out of sheer terror, thanks to a childhood trauma. They didn't even take a single drop of blood either.

If your child contracts a preventable disease or cancer because of your negligence, do you just say "sorry"? If you truly cared about your child's well-being and want them to live a full life, then get them vaccinated!

Some of my favorite AV bullshit:

scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v… ("I would've grilled the nurse on what she was taught about them..." "If I'm well educated on a subject I speak up" SEND HELP, I'M DYING~ )

scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v… (The reason why it was stopped was because KIDS WERE DYING FROM IT. )

scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v… (What a wonderful idea! Let's illegally ship bio-hazards to each other! WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG??? )
