[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have zero patience with anti-vaxxers. None. They are some of the most loathsome among us b/c they are either dumb or deliberately obtuse, and biased. No one is stopping you from spacing out vaccinations for your kid but it is abuse, imo, to not listen to the medicine and put your kid at risk. And it's borderline homicidal to put other kids who can't be immunized at risk. I see this as the result of two things primarily:

People in this country are so privileged, to the point they don't realize how harmful some of these diseases are. They don't remember polio, measles, etc.

Also, people are dumb. They are listening to some ear wormed loon and moron celebrities like Jenny McCarthy instead of the doctors. As someone said recently, "if it wasn't for the shootings, one would think we don't have schools."

The upside, however awful and tragic, is that fewer of these people will have their genes passed on to future generations. Nature is merciless. If she doesn’t kill, she very often disables and sterilizes. Entire generations of boys were rendered sterile due to the mumps, and rubella used to disable babies in utero. Sterile and disabled kids have a hard time making babies of their own.

Modern medicine is way out of practice dealing with the impacts from these preventable diseases. I wouldn’t skip vaccines in the hopes a 40-year old doctor can recognize rare complications in time to do anything abbot them. And it’s not their fault - it’s yours as the parent for making it an issue in the first place. [/quote]
