Those incubating Praying Mantis demon eggs from the end of a season 1 episode of Buffy are still biding their time for the best time to strike again.

"Autism and vaccines have no connection, fuckwad" is my go to statement.

Agree. I get what she's saying, but I don't think this is the hill to die on.

I agree with what you've written. I've never thought that a person saying that implied that Autistic people were to be feared - I didn't realize people thought that until I read this article.

Sorry, I gotta disagree.

This has always been a difficult subject for me to tangle with. On one hand, I have two cousins with autism and they are absolutely wonderful kids that I wouldn't trade out for anything. They have a fun exuberance to them and I view them like any other kid. On the other hand, they are disadvantaged in a lot of aspects…

I will admit that this is one aspect of the Anti-Vax mindset, that has REALLY bugged me.

Being a bit too sensitive about this, I think. Naturally. You have an autistic son.

What offends me is the anti-vax people are apparently saying they would rather their children be dead than get autism. That's a very hateful message.

Technically, the Doctor would only be a bigamist or polygamist at a point in time where two or more of his wives were alive simultaneously.

"Maternity care" is nothing but a hippie racket concocted by granola-munching Left Coasters and New England liberal elites.

I personally always trust people with glitter.

"Get away from her you bitch!" can be said 40-50 times a day in a variety of different real-life scenarios.

That was fast! Christie's office has already emailed political reporters to clarify that he totally thinks kids should get vaccinated against measles, but not all vaccines should be mandated by the government. Sounds like he was trying to pander to the anti-HPV-vaccine conservatives and accidentally pandered to the…

One of the more measles-prone communities of late has been the Amish, whose preference for an insular, self-contained lifestyle is what makes them so beloved by traditional conservative types. However, as recent outbreaks have resulted in some very serious aftereffects and the death of several children, even the…

The problem is, people on the fence aren't going to hear anything but "do what you want." I want to see public officials being like "there are exemptions, yes, but YOU SHOULD VACCINATE."

His first statement doesn't sound as bad as the headline suggests. It's kind of a non-statement that seems to boil down to, "vaccinate your kids, please, but I won't make it a legal requirement." Which, I wish politicians would be firmer about this, but it's hardly antivax.
