    So at what point is this straight up child abuse? It’s at least negligence right?

    Vaccinate your fucking kids. We are doing out part with our little one. It’s not that fucking hard and he’s doing just fine

    My sister didn’t vaccinate her daughter and the whole family is not able to convince her otherwise :(

      That’s sad. What was the reason?

          Yes basically, she exaggerates how often the side effects happen compared to how often the complications happen and says it’s to dangerous to give a vaccine. All while she her self is vaccinated against measles …

          They also went unvaccinated through COVID with the worst symptoms of all the family (everyone else vaccinated) but still claiming that this is the right decision.

            Weird. I mean it’s all a cost benefit analysis. On the cost side you have a few common but mild side effects and a very small number of more severe but still harmless side effects.

            On the benefit side you have not having a child to visit in the cemetery.

            To me that wasn’t hard.

              It’s not the harmless side effects they fear, it’s (overblown) serious side effects that they fear. There is the Guillain Barré syndrome that is real but very rare, as well as a lot of imagined serious side effects like death.

                Yeah, I mean most drugs have side effects. The thing is that many of the side effects is also there if you get the disease itself, so it’s not like you’re extra protected by not vaccinating, quite the opposite.

                Sadly it seems logic isn’t really what’s needed to get people to change their mind. I don’t know what can though.

    I’ve made my peace years ago with the fact that this problem is going to take care of itself.

      Except it’s not the fully immunised parents that are going to die out, it’s their children.

        Enough dead kids and the morons will learn their lesson while the most unteachable idiots will see their bloodline get thinned out. I’m old enough to remember the stories of my great-grandparents and what diphtheria has left them of their 10 children.
