    Whatever, I don’t care. Its your children suffering and dying because of your choices, so too bad, I don’t care.

    You people voted a tyrant I to power TWICE, now live with the consequences.

    However, I know you won’t see it like this. You’ll see it as the wrath of God, and bind garlic to your kids feet because THAT WILL SOLVE IT, RIGHT?

    Welcome back to the 1600’s, all of you! We got kings, diseases, unregulated trade so expect worms in your bread.

    I’m at the point that if I see you crying about your child’s tormented death, that I will point and laugh at you

      I hate those fucking cunts and couldn’t give a shit if they themselves die. But these kids, they are victims. And there will be more victims from those that these innocent kids infect.

        Yeah, sorry, no.

        I’m worried enough about my own kids, thanks to them, I don’t have it in me toncarr about theirs. All I can hope for (in vain, i know) is that they learn from this that science is not evil, their religion and government are.

          Plus let’s be real, most of these people’s kids will grow up to be like their parents. If self elimination is their path i say let em

      Those people were lied to by leaders they trusted. I don’t think it’s their fault, and it certainly isn’t their childrens’ fault

      We have an advantage over them in that we happened to have been born into families or places or come under the influence of good people and found that vaccination is much safer than these diseases, but that’s not to our credit, it’s to the credit of those who helped us learn

        We deserve credit where it’s due. We all made a decision to do the bare minimum when told something by consulting either basic logic or the infinite library in our pockets. The only sympathy I have is for the kids. Any adult (including many people I love and care about) can go fuck themselves on this one.

    In addition to a generally miserable illness, measles can cause complications: 1 in 5 unvaccinated people with measles in the US end up hospitalized. About 1 in 10 develop ear infections and/or diarrhea, and 1 in 20 develop pneumonia. Between 1 to 3 in 1,000 die of the infection. In rare cases, it can cause a fatal disease of the central nervous system called Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, which typically develops 7 to 10 years after an infection. Measles can also devastate immune responses to other infections (immune amnesia), making people who recover from the illness vulnerable to other infectious diseases.

    Man, if only there were a near instantaneous way to prevent any of that from happening.

      Jesus Christ, even when I thought it was just like a skin rash and potentially gnarly fever, I would have vaccinated.

    I wonder why measles would break out in that particular county. Surely it’s not because of this low-vaccination rate, right? /s

        Unfortunately, they are victims of their parents willful ignorance. Nothing we can do but thoughts and prayers.

          Agree but I wouldn’t say “fuck em” to child victims of sexual abuse (as example), or anything else they can’t control.

          I get the leopards eating faces part of this, I’m just calling out that there are innocent victims that don’t have any control

            It’s worst cause measles has long lasting effects. No rational parent would allow this. They should be punished but their kids are taking the punishment for them. Cruelty.

    Remember, the study that antivaxx point as the source of their claims concluded with “give three different vaccines instead of this combined one”. Even with their fake, greed induced, arguments, it asks people to vaccinate.
