If it weren't for immunocompromised people and children, I'd say that I welcome all anti-vaxxers to stick with their beliefs and learn first-hand why we invented vaccines to begin with (plus a society with fewer belligerent cranks is more stable and less prone to supporting authoritarian/far right ideology). It's a shame they have to hurt innocent people with their bullshit too

My parents weren't antivax, they had doctor appointments booked to get me fully vaccinated. But I couldn't be vaccinated against measles as I had a fever at the time of the appointment

Of course the fever was measles

I'm glad that most people around were vaccinated, so I only caught it from one person and luckily was okay.

May more antivax die of these diseases to reduce the reduction of infection among the population who aren't vaccinated due to age (like I was) or immunocompromised or whatever. Fuck the antivax people.

Anyone raised by antivax: talk to your doctor about getting any childhood vaccinations you missed where you also have so far missed the getting the disease.

I read this story somewhere else yesterday and saw in the comments someone trying to justify it by saying "the media is keepin it a secret these people were Amish to spread their pro vaxx lies" like that would make it any better. I imagine part of the reason of having mandatory vaccines is try to and protect the innocent children of religious extremists from dying needlessly for being part of a sect they had no choice in joining.

Haven't seen any confirmation the victims were Amish, but given the location, it wouldn't shock me. I think if that is the case, it still highlights we have 2 problems instead of just 1.

What an age we live in

Natural selection.

Well, I'm glad some of these bastards are getting what they wanted.

Congratulations on winning stupid prizes. My heart will only break for children who don’t have a choice in what their idiotic parents decide for them. SMH so dumb

It sounds to me as a failure for the education system. They probably didn't deserve to die of believing in lies they could have rejected if they had received a good education in terms of critical thinking…

Darwin shrugged

Two so far!

We can do better than that MAHA.

I feel owned? Oh, wait, it’s over now.
