The things that pisses me off about this is that travel “influencers” like this are almost always thin, attractive young women and fit, attractive men. There is so little diversity in aesthetic and look that I honestly can’t tell most of them apart. The pictures they take are basically the same exact promo shots that…

Have you ever been hit by a scooter in Southeast Asia that was driven by an influencer asshole driving while trying to get a selfie? Makes you want to bring a signal jammer to your next vacation.

I am judging the fact that these wealthy, White and clueless people are putting their babies based on bullshit.

The young Duggar women have all tried for homebirths. They are 1 for 5 in terms of having successful home births that didn’t send anyone to the hospital.

Your Mom should probably stop treating kids. She’s a danger to them.

Nope.

Excellent. Just excellent. Doctors who take a hard stance against this anti-vax trash have my full support. I look forward to the days where there won’t be any medical clinics leat that accept unvaccinated patients. It seems like more and more doctors are opting into doing that, and I love it.

No, people who don’t believe in vaccines are absolutely fuckwits and it is not okay to have a differing opinion. Science isn’t about opinions. It’s about verifiable facts. The facts indicate that vaccines do not have any relation to autism. If your mom believes otherwise, she is a crap pediatrician.

They believe based on their own experiences? You realize that’s not enough, right? If you can bring research to the table that backs up these claims, by all means. Because personal experience alone is not gonna cut it. Even if you’re a pediatrician.

Some aspects of mom culture here are downright fucking ridiculous. I say this as pregnant lady @ 38wks.

“But that’s not part of my birth plan!”

First, a very moving blog post that highlights the privilege that allows anti-vaccers to exist: https://dianastaresinicdeane.wordpress.com/2011/09/15/lessons-from-a-kansas-graveyard-what-a-1903-outbreak-of-diphtheria-can-teach-us-today/

The only part of the natural drug-free home birth in water plan that I’m judging is the part where she’s being sanctimonious about it before it even happens. Kat, honey. The fact is you don’t always get to have the labour and delivery of your optimistic dreams.

1) So, I am relieved to hear this, because I expected Kat Von D to do something much worse, like be an active white supremacist or say undocumented immigrants are criminals or something.

Kat has been garbage waaaaaaaaaaay before this revelation

“move the fuck on”. Bitch, I would, except your fucking petri dish of a kid will be out in the wild with my kid so I can’t. How about YOU move the fuck on to another planet where your shitty choices won’t affect me?

Being an anti-vaxxer is basically the same as being a flat-earther, except that their scientific illiteracy could cost the life or their child or other children that they come into contact with.

There’s not much I judge parents on, but failing to vaccinate is absolutely one of them.

If you’re medical decision making is based on, “But [celebrity] doesn’t [standard medical practice], so I won’t, either,” you’re an idiot.

I’m glad she feels judged. I’m judging the hell out of her for her anti-vax stance. She’s old enough to understand science. And she’s old enough to understand the responsibility she has to other people’s children.
