Measles Cases up 30% worldwide

quote:

In the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 220 cases of measles so far, making 2018 one of the worst years in a decade. “A total of 15 outbreaks (defined as three or more linked cases) have been reported so far in 2018,” the CDC said.


It needs to be mandatory. If you’re not vaccinating your kids you’re putting other people’s children at risk, which should be a crime. Anti vaxers are fricking idiots.

Some of the people that will be shitting on antivaxers are the same geniuses that don't take the flu shot because "they never get sick"

It's a mental condition.

These parents are worried about doing something to their child that is proven to be safe, yet they can't wrap their puny little brain around the fact that doing nothing is far more dangerous.

everyone needs to vaccinate their kids. It protects them and everyone around them.

It is almost 2019. Why are there still people who do not believe in vaccinating their children?

I believe in everyone else vaccinating their children so that I don't have to vaccinate mine.

I believe in explaining the risks of vaccines to your kids and letting them decide. Obviously you have to wait until they're a couple of years old, but why not let them decide what to do with their own bodies?

This year our 4 year old opted in and our 6 year old declined. We respect their autonomy.

I get real weird about this both ways.


1) you should vaccinate your children. I see kids in my practice. I tell parents this

2) the government shouldn't make medical decisions for you.

3) I will fire you as a patient if you don't vaccinate your kids.



I'm all for both vaccination and also, in this case (I suppose most), personal liberty. But I'm not putting up with the shite you bring through the door if you want to disagree with something as settled as vaccination and can't have you exposing other people in my waiting room.



I need to write a strongly worded letter to anti-vaccine parents. But they're fairly rare in my experience. Vaccine-hesitant folks are usually convinced within about two sentences. True anti-vaccine folks are unconvincable and it also has become evident very quickly in our conversations.

This whole thing with the anti-vaccination crowd began, I think, with that completely bogus "study" by that fraudulent quack Andrew Wakefield who claimed that vaccinations increased the chances of autism. The "study" has long since been discredited but unfortunately, there are a lot of people who still buy into it. Thanks to people like Wakefield and Jenny McCarthy, childhood diseases have made a big comeback.

I agree. Needs to be mandated by law.

The problem is these parents can get a release from a school easily and it not be made public. I would fricking kill someone if they gave my kid a midevil disease over some internet shite.

My sister.
No GMO, no gluten, everything is bad for you and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Red Bull? Bad!
Bang cause no sugar? Bad!
Coffee black? BAD cause pesticides!
Water? Bad cause chemicals in plastic bottles.

It’s exhausting having a conversation about food or drink.

I don’t dare to get into vaccines.
