Stupid fucking anti-vaccers are bringing back a disease that had been basically declared dead in the United States.

[Twister]

Morons. Not vaccinating your child is selfish, there are people out there who for what ever reason are genuinely unable to be vaccinated and they rely on herd immunity to protect them and now because of a few morons who get sucked into anti-vax propaganda we are now having outbreaks of these diseases which could easily have been prevented.

If you don't believe in vaccinations you should be sterilized. Like they are literally the stupidest people. I mean sure, some people can't be for whatever reason but if you can and you don't then you're an unnecessary risk to the human race. People hundreds and thousands of years ago would have loved to be able to protect themselves from deadly disease and these imbeciles are taking this blessing for granted. I just hate them so fucking much.

I actually support the anti-vax movement.

If it continues to gain prominence, it'll lead to the eradication of both stupid people and hippies. What's not to love?

It's a shame these stupid people and hippies also happen to have children who know no better other than the nonsense their incompetent parents spout.

I hate anti-vaccination idiots. It's just plain wrong headed thinking. You can push and piss and moan about it all you want, but at the end of the day, you have absolutely no fucking clue what you're talking about. These morons are not qualified to have the opinion that they fucking have. I've never heard or seen anything remotely resembling a scientific argument as to why they hold this point of view. I hate them almost as much as I hate the cult like Vegans and the uber right wing Christian Parent groups.

Yeah, but there are people out there who can't get vaccinated for medical reasons (along with babies) who rely on herd immunity to keep them safe. By just deciding that your kids shouldn't be vaccinated, you're putting other people in danger.

So yeah, I get the joke, but it's not actually anything to be supported.

I know some people that didn't vaccinate their kids and to this day they still say all the proof is wrong and only one crackpot jackass that wrote a book (the bs about autism and vaccines) is right.

Wish we could just send them to an island of hipsters.

At least the schools are stepping up. My sons school sent out a notice saying that any child that can not be verified as being currently vaccinated will no longer be able to attend school until up to date vaccination records are provided.

From what i gather this is going on all over the western states. The schools dont want to take the chance of being a breeding ground for diseases.
