ceebeegee So Jason's friend just stormed off of Facebook because too many of his friends have been posting things that are critical of anti-vaxxers or the anti-vaccination "movement." He's on FB so he can connect with his friends but now he's "too angry" to continue and if we want to talk to him we know where to reach him.
Boo. Fucking. Hoo. Hey, if you're stupid enough not to vaccinate your kid, and selfish enough not to keep him at home, thereby endangering those in the general population who cannot get vaccinated (the very young, people who are undergoing cancer treatment, etc.) and furthering the recent measles outbreak, you're going to hear some things you don't like. Not vaccinating out of principle is NOT a personal choice. Let me repeat that: Not vaccinating out of principle is NOT a personal choice. It doesn't just affect you. It affects all of us. I will continue to post article that underline the public health cost of your stupid and selfish actions. And if my elderly mother or my aunt who has cancer contracts measles because of your stupidity and selfishness, you'd better believe I'm coming after you with both hands. Sorry if that hurts your feelings.
I honestly wouldn't care if they just quarantined their kids. Keep them out of school, don't go to fucking Disneyland. It would still be stupid, but not selfish. But no, gotta have your cake and eat it too.
