My favourite thing about this website is when the commenters bitch about someone refusing to call themself a feminist and then bitch when someone does call themself a feminist.

You mean she's imperfect and/or doesn't do feminism in exactly the way you'd like her to?!?!?!! Yes, by all means, let's tear her to shreds, that's certainly the right and pragmatic thing to do here.
this is a man who is working to stop me from getting married and paid for commercials that imply I'm a pedophile. That sounds like someone who is out to get me. The work he did isn't just a political dispute, it's a direct attack on me. Why would I tolerate it? It's like saying I should tolerate a punch in the face.
no. just, no. upset we're overprotecting older kids by never allowing them to play outside? fine, i'm down with that argument. Wanting them to avoid being internally decapitated? not overprotection- common fucking sense. there are tons and tons of rear-facing car seats that go up to 35 lbs at least, which is fine for…
Totally agree, I vaccinated my child as soon as it was available, I had it as a kid, although not a severe case, why subject your child to a potentially serious illness that is easily preventable?
Why did I read this article? WHY DID I READ THE COMMENTS? I swear I'm about to have a fucking stroke. I'll see you anti-vaccination assholes in the PICU while I try and stop your precious snowflakes from dying of whooping cough or tetanus.
I have two young nieces and they have had ALL the vaccinations. And all of us adults had the whooping cough one since the babies couldn't get it until they were older. I've read so many books about disease (librarian) that I get every vaccination EVER. I go to my doctor, present my arm and tell her to give me all…
Because basically any disease that is "sexually transmitted" is also transmitted through a variety of other methods. Bodily fluid is not limited to sexual contact. Acting as though Hep B is somehow only magically spread through sexual contact is uninformed and a scaremongering tactic for antivaxxers.
I know some people are going, "Well, I'd rather people get vaccinated on an alternate schedule than not at all". I'd rather they just get vaccinated as soon as possible. Period. This doctor's concerns of if there is a possibility of vaccines causing autism, we should be careful are so full of shit. Yeah, we've been…
I fully support it. It isn't solely spread through sexual interactions. The idea that "hours-old" babies are going to suffer negative effects by being vaccinated is entirely unsubstantiated.
Just repeating a previous post about vaccinations and why it is so goddamned important to get them!
Basically these people would rather have dead children than autistic ones.
According to the CDC, an estimated 1.25 million people are chronically infected with the hepatitis B virus in the United States alone, resulting in an estimated2,000-4,000 deaths each year. Surprisingly, 30%-40% of these chronic infections were acquired during childhood. This fact alone presents a compelling …
I already posted this in a lower thread, but I'm just gonna leave this here:
SHE might not have seen the rise of whooping cough. But the CDC sure has. And it has been able to correlate to parents not vaccinating kids.
It may not be that big a deal for kids, but as someone who has known a couple of adults who contracted it….very unpleasant would be putting it mildly, pox in the eyes, in and around the genitals….
Keep in mind that most physicians don't have extensive research experience. They do what they have to. I've met a lot of physicians who are not, how shall I say this... "science minded" folk.
"She's based her strategy on "what diseases are prevalent in the community.""
Damnit!
