    I remember being a young adult (I’m 38 now) and hearing about anti-vaxxing in the media. In the early -mid 2000s Jenny McCarthy and I think a few other celebrities were on the “vaccines cause autism” train.

      Imagine a standard zombie apocalypse movie. Someone comes up with a vaccine, but instead of the ending showing helicopters and planes transporting them, happy people leaving ships, people cheering in camps and getting mass-vaccinated, a new war just starts. Armed antivaxxers destroying labs, produced vaccines and vaccination centers, and the entire humanity just fucking dies.

      THE END

            Because we are old. Wasn’t the Andrew Wakefield nonsense paper from 1989? Oops no, it was 1998.

            Unrelated, beginning of his Wikipedia entry is to die for:

            Andrew Jeremy Wakefield (born 3 September 1956[4][5][a]) is a British fraudster, anti-vaccine activist, and disgraced former physician. He was struck off the medical register for “serious professional misconduct”[8] due to his involvement in the fraudulent 1998 Lancet MMR autism study that falsely claimed a link between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism.

            Yup, and 1998 was 27 years ago, that’s a perfectly reasonable age for motherhood. My kids were born when I was younger than that.

              Now, that’s a statistic that conservatives could get behind. Unfortunately it’s not convenient for them. So they won’t.

                    I get that these kids were born with measles because their mothers weren’t vaccinated but that doesn’t change my statement. The mothers should have been vaccinated when they were kids. Still child abuse.

                          We still haven’t reaped the full outcome of that. Still plenty of parents to be who haven’t had kids yet who fell for that BS.

                                My daughter in grade 7 just had her last round of needles. Based on her observations you should be concerned at the amount of children who now do not get any shots for “reasons”.

                                It’s gonna get worse. A lot worse. I do what I can to educate her and her friends when I see them in the hopes one day they will get their shots but I’m not optimistic.

                                Vaccines are a victim of their own success.

                                  There’s a good chance that many or all of these cases are in the Mennonite community.

                                          Isn’t this attempted murder of an infant?

                                          Make vaccinations obligatory already ffs

                                          Jail all anti vaxxers. If you promote anti vaccin bullshit, you risk lives, you go to jail. I don’t care about the ethics part of that question anymore as these anti vaxxers never cared about ethics either.

                                          If you talk dangerous nonsense then we need to make you stop talking.

                                          Don’t come with me with “but muh rights! First amendment because I’m American and that is the only country in the world!” because your rights end when you endanger my life and the lives of children
