The way she described him reminds me of my ex-mother in law ( member of the Daughters of the Confederacy) who would talk about how they had black people as servants and were so different from people today because they would always stop and call her “miss” and as she put it: “They were happy to work for a good family.”

The thing people (mostly white people) don’t get about situations like this is that context matters. It’s the same issue that comes up when white people get mad because they aren’t allowed to say “nigger.” The fact is, all words get their meanings from two places. There’s the denotative meaning (i.e. the dictionary…

The thing that scares me the most is the part where she thinks she’s being positive.

As a Pittsburgher, this woman is completely infuriating. She had been posting holier-than-thou Facebook posts for a very long time prior to this incident, and I was happy that the station finally took action after this horribly racist and excruciating post.

You should meet my wife.

My first field trip when I was in kindergarten was to the local health department to get vaccinated. I grew up in a very poor area and a lot of people didn’t have health insurance other than Medical Assistance and minimal access to a pediatrician on a regular basis. The local health department had a vaccine day where…

As a kid in way back in ancient history, thousands of black/Mexican/poor kids in my city lined up with our parents in a local park... to get vaccinated. The vaccinations were sponsored by.. the Black Panther party because many poor folk without health insurance were not vaccinated. We were in a local park. Thousands…

This is something I don’t understand, why is it even allowed at all for parents to ignore best practices? Its illegal to deny your kid food or water, why are parents allowed to treat their children with fraudulent “alternative medicine”? All children should receive agreed upon standard care, vaccination, proper real…

“And ultimately it comes down to whether we have the right to vaccinate or not vaccinate without being held reliable. Or whether or not we have to rush our children to the doctor every time they even just get the sniffles, in fear that something may just randomly happen and we’re held reliable.”

YOU SHOULD BE HELD…

yeah...I explored the possibility vaccines cause autism about a decade ago...took me 5 minutes on my university’s online peer-reviewed journal library. Exploration over. Curiosity is healthy. Not getting vaccinated is not healthy.

It’s actually true— the ambulance didn’t come equipped with a time machine to go back two weeks so his parents could take him to a doctor.

My husband has a co-worker who is anti vaccine for the whole autism bullshit. I say “well, would you rather have a kid with autism, (with early intervention can really go far), or would you rather your kid die.”

Dying from preventable diseases to avoid autism. Not Down Syndrome or microcephaly or something like that, autism. Sure, there are some severely developmentally disabled people with autism, but plenty of others who live happy, relatively normal lives. These assholes act like autism is literally a fate worse than…

That’s the thing I really can’t understand—isn’t the possibility of autism a small price to pay to have a child that is otherwise healthy and ALIVE?? (never mind that vaccines don’t even cause autism)

I had a discussion right here on Jezebel years ago with someone who told me I was being close minded by not “exploring the option” that vaccinations do more harm than good. She really lost me when she went on to say that baby formula still hasn’t been deemed safe and when I told her it has she implored me to provide…

This is what I don’t understand. Okay, autism, SEVERE autism is a challenge, but it is surely better than death. And most autism seems to fall into a spectrum that makes it both workable and just another issue of being alive, really.

“Held reliable”.

6/21/16

Right, because that was the moment that sealed his fate. Not the gross neglect that made that ambulance ride so critical.

When Caputo’s sociopath girlfriend Linda held a gun on Sophia’s wife, I was hopeful that would send him in a different direction. When he was like, “Oh, that gets me so hot!” I was disgusted beyond all measure. He’s pretty irredeemable at this point.
