I after a long time was forced to watch CNN because Al Jazeera was down. Much to my dismay and heartache I had to deal with that cesspool of stupidity.
But I was shocked to find something even more retarded on TV. There are actually people in the US who do not vaccainate their kids against simple diseases. I mean seriously?
Its also not an isolated incident. 14 states have had measles outbreaks. I mean for the love of god, who wants their kids to suffer? Its rather insane.
More so according to CNN there are actual doctors in the US who are recommending not to vaccinate your kids. I mean what the hell?
You want to know how retarded this is? Even ISIL allows WHO and ICRC to vaccinate people in Syria and Iraq. That is how insane this is.
apparently there was some bogus report written by some fake doctor that suggested immunization causes Autism…while both report and doctor were discredited, some woman with an autistic child decided the report was accurate and put her belief in some conspiracy theory…
Heard abt this in npr. About 8 years ago the autism connection was being studied by scientific community. Now it has been shown there is no connection. But some folks are still promoting this connection - AFTER it has been shown there is none.
The mirror image of climate change deniers. And skeptics.
I worked in the front office of a public school for 2 years and the amount of parents I saw that refused to vaccinate their children was mind boggling. You can get waivers from the state public health department to bypass school requirements and some parents would sight “religious beliefs” as the reason why. It’s absolutley idiotic and asinine. And then you have nutcases like Jenny McCarthy who abuse their celebrity status and television platforms, sending the masses into hysterics about how their kid “got autism” by vaccinations.
Believe it or not, I know of a few Muslim families who refuse to vaccinate their children because of the “enzymatic makeup” of the vaccine is not “halal”
More riches are avoiding vaccination here in California than any other place. The richer you are, the more chances that you wont vaccinate your kids. They call them Wholefoods Mommies (taking name from Wholefoods, a expensive almost all organic store). More and more people are now getting wavier on religious grounds here…
Overall in America increasingly people are distrustful of doctors and pharmaceuticals and aren’t heeding medical advice. Part of it is the phenomenon of doctor Google. Parents Google and think they know more than their doctor, cdc, who, and all the **** analysis studies done on this and other topics.
I read an article or post rather by someone that put it perfectly. If khatti or someone would find it on FB…
A 22 year old autistic woman voiced her opinion on this anti-vaccination nonsense and basically said those parents would rather their kids suffer or even die rather than be autistic. “You think I’m a monster? well…rawr, I’m a monster.” Summed it up pretty well.
