On top of which “Whether or not measles is a serious infection [sic] disease is open to question.”

I have an uncle (now pretty well estranged from the family, thankfully) who would talk about how he regrets getting the MMR vaccine, and that it was unethical since he was just a kid and didn’t have a say in the matter. You know what you would really regret, Uncle Tim? Getting fucking measles.

You’re right. They should unequivocally support her.

Damn. I was thinking that’s the case. Well, the parents of that unvaccinated child should be very grateful that the rest of their child’s classmates are properly vaccinated.

In the petition, four parents, identified only by their initials, say there is “insufficient evidence of a measles epidemic or dangerous outbreak to justify the respondents’ extraordinary measures

If there’s a positive to this anti-vax bullshit, it’s the fact that those with autism (or are on the autism spectrum) are speaking out about this, and they are pissed. And all of the comments I’ve seen from those with autism inevitably advocate for vaccination. 

Nope, some of them have actually been having measles parties as the vaccination order only applies to people who don’t already have antibodies for the virus.

Or Mumps or Rubella (all three are in that vaccine). These three diseases are no joke. Mumps can leave males sterile - that single fact, to anyone who knows Orthodox society and its priorities - ought to be all it takes for them to rush out and vaccinate.

A family friend keeps saying “measles is just a rash.”

It’s because their child didn’t become “normal” so they rather blame other people or things for what happened than rather take the fucking time now, to start helping them in process of training them in skills for the future.

Andrew Wakefield, a British gastroenterologist who subsequently lost his license and whose paper on the subject was retracted.

From what I can tell there are no clear religious justifications for it as there are plenty of orthodox rabbis in New York telling their people to get vaccinated.  That said the Old Testament and the Talmud are like any other religious text: if you want to find passages to support your anti-vax beliefs (or literally…

To preface, I support Ilhan Omar’s position here and on other policy matters, but Pelosi speaks to/for the majority of Dems who do not identify as “progressive” or “liberal”. Most Dems, I was surprised to find out, identify as moderate or conservative. So while I personally agree with Ilhan, AOC, Ayanna, Rashida, etc,…

The late Sen. Bobby Kennedy would be appalled at his son’s anti-vaxxer nonsense. On a related note, I don’t see any of RFK Jr’s siblings backing him up on social media.

It’s no different than the 80's where “Christians” used the law to “isolate” (Confine) gay people by stating that AIDS is contagious and round them up but in the end, it didn’t happen because the ulterior motives of their stance was a bullshit reasons and nothing scientific in doing so.

Do these cretins have any religious objections to their kids getting measles?

“Hey, remember the time you got polio? ......No? That’s because your parents got you FUCKING VACCINATED.”

F$%k RFK Jr.  He has a bully pulpit and could have picked any issue in the world.  No, he had to go full blown anti-vaxxer.  Go straight to hell, dude.

What a surprise, it’s being funded and propped up by people whose environmentalism isn’t about about tackling problems but simply “science is evil and will destroy us” Luddism.
