Yup. I was recently informed by an American on Jezebel that British people aren’t citizens, but subjects. I posted a picture of my UK passport where it explicitly declares us to be citizens, and asked her who I should write to so it could be corrected. She then confidently told me that we don’t possess freedom of…

Almost as good as the time my friend said that colloidal silver supplements (which, according to research, has no effects on the human body and definitely no healing powers) can prevent and cure Ebola. EBOLA!!

I’m going to go ahead and quote John Oliver here (speaking about a poll on climate change, but it applies):

Well, I heard that Norwegian cloudberries picked by the decendants of trolls and hulders cure cancers caused by electromagnetic waves if you write your intention on the container and put it under your pillow when sleeping. It’s true, my friend’s cousin’s dogsitter sent me a FW:FW:FW: that proved it with words!

As a dentist, I want to go and punch these ‘Eco-dentists’ in the face. They're basically homeopathic dentists—which isn't a thing!

This is related to the phenomenon of: ‘everyone is entitled to their opinion’ even when their opinion is factually incorrect.

I’m a dentist and often have patients come in and tell me that ‘they’ve done their research’ about fluoride, amalgam or white fillings and then start telling me why they’re right and I’m wrong. I’m all for being your own medical advocate but Google doesn't make you a doctor.

Yes! The “autism epidemic” is because the previously considered quirky or socially awkward are often now being diagnosed as mild autism or even Asperger’s (which is one of the most inaccurately used medical terms today.) Another reason why these anti-vaxxers are so disgusting. They think having a child that is…

Someone on my facebook is literally touting the idea that elderberry syrup is 100% effective against the flu and that you should NEVER get the flu shot. Elderberries are apparently where it’s at.

I can’t stop laughing about an ‘eco dentist’. What the ever-loving fuck is that? She tries to fight your tooth decay by cultivating penicillin mold between your teeth?

As a mama of a little gladiator who isn’t quite old enough to get her MMR vaccine, it infuriates me that anti vaxx folks think it’s their right to not vaccinate and also their right to take their potential disease incubators into public spaces. Don’t want to vaccinate your kid? You’re an idiot, but okay. But your…

it’s autism.

As a quirky-but-not-diagnosed geek who married another quirky geek and had an autistic child, I was never particularly confused about the cause of my son’s autism.

Why do I have a feeling these people all read The Secret?

In a recent study, over 40 percent of parents agree or strongly agree that vaccines played a part in the development of their children’s autism.

So vaccines don’t cause Autism. Here is the thing, I don’t like how they make Autism sound like the bogeyman that destroys children. I worked with a boy who has it. He had trouble when he was younger because he didn't understand how people worked. He's starting to understand a little more and is growing. He going to…

By their own data, a majority (60%) of parents whose children have autism do not agree with the statement that vaccines were linked to their child’s autism. (You’d have to have a child with Autism to qualify for the resondent group for that question). So, they’re not just losing the arguement with the general public…

The anti-vaxx rhetoric is just layer upon layer of stupid. Not vaccinating your children? Stupid. Thinking that autism in any way correlates to vaccines? Stupid. Deciding the alleged chance of your child ‘contracting’ autism is worse than potential death from measles/mumps/other preventable disease? Stupid.

You guys, I have hit peak old person.
