Anti-vaxxers are still out there. They do not care that health organizations, doctors, and scientists agree that vaccines are safe and effective. They just repeat their mantras. Recently, an anti-vaxxer even turned one into a Philosoraptor meme. Asking why is his unvaccinated kid a danger to the vaccinated ones (assuming that vaccines work) they thought they were exposing a quirky paradox. Luckily, someone took the time to completely obliterate it. Reddit user u/Slackbeing posted the entire thing on the subreddit r/MurderedByWords where it has already received over 53k upvotes. We can only hope that the person who made the meme has read it as well. Not all who wander are lost.

Some people think that there is little benefit in giving children vaccinations because the risk of contracting vaccine-preventable diseases is so low. Sadly, this is a harmful anti-vaccination myth. According to an article by Medical News Today, “Vaccine-preventable disease rates have dropped because immunization is now a widespread and common practice. In recent years, however, the number of people contracting vaccine-preventable diseases has increased. Research has found that children who do not undergo immunization are a contributing factor to this troubling trend.”
Thanks to “herd immunity,” so long as a large majority of people are immunized, even the unimmunized minority will be protected. With so many people resistant, infectious disease simply won’t get the change to establish itself and spread. This is very important because there will always be a portion of the population (for example, infants, pregnant women, elderly) that can’t receive vaccines.
However, if too many people aren’t getting vaccinates, they start building a collective danger, opening up opportunities for viruses and bacteria to establish themselves, mutate, and spread.
Here’s what people said about the response
What do you think ?

And some of the comments once again show us the real problem of disagreement, people just can't take being criticized and prefer to expose their kids and other kids to terrible diseases instead of simply accept that "I might be wrong about that...". The prevalent thought seems to be; "If I'm too stupid to understand what someone else is trying to explain, he is an a*****e for using the proper words." It's unfathomable that the dumbest people are those that are the most convinced. Well, I have no clue about anything, except that all those doctors know it better than me and I'm pretty sure they won't get rich with vaccines, which mostly get sold at the production cost..

"It's unfathomable that the dumbest people are those that are the most convinced" Acctually no, there is a lot of Scientific studies that has looked at this. And it is very common. The less you know about something, the more sure you are that you know all that there is to know about it. It almost goes back to Socrates. But it is still very sad and a big Public problem.

Take all the antivaxxers and their kids, put em all on an island and we'll see how quick they wipe themselves out. If course I don't mean literally so don't be all WhY wOuLd YoU sAy ThAt but antivaxxing is child endangerment.

I went to med school. Aced immunology, microbiology, physiology, blah blah blah. And if I see *one* more "FYI it's hygeine and nutrition that killed off disease", I am going to freaking flip. We had an 8-year-old boy die of SSPE (look it up) b/c he'd had measles as an infant. We saw kids hospitalized with measles-related pneumonia and encephalitis. In the USA. In the 1990s. So, no, a clean house and good diet do not save your life, but a vaccine can. And, oh yeah, if you do get a disease after vaccination? You often get a milder form. Sorry, but... I couldn't get my MD because I couldn't take the death. I admit it. I wussed out. Went into lab stuff instead. The pediatrics internship... Yeah, that.... No. BTW, my mom was 45 years a nurse and saw babies born deadf b/c the moms got measles. So... attend the autopsy of a child dead of measles and talk to me again about how it's all hype for profit... Sorry, sorry, this is why I left medicine, I couldn't do it after that day, I couldn't.

I wouldn't be able to either, far too soft! Thank you for sharing your knowledge - just wish people would listen to those who genuinely do know and not some random z-lister who has the medical knowledge of a woodlouse.

I suggest anti-vaxxers visit Afghanistan and sub-Saharan Africa. Children *DIE* from diseases these idiots think are less dangerous than vaccines. And so do adults. (And why is this anti-vax thing such an Anglo thing? Geez.)
Uwe Theiss 6 years ago
It isn't. I live in germany and we have here also demonstrations of this idiots demanding kids deaths cause they want to prevent them from getting vaccinated.

I have an immune deficiency. I have had all of my vaccinations, but am still at high risk of contracting these diseases. I'm terrified of antivaxxers because I don't want to die of something stupid and preventable like measles.

Can we have the anti-vaxxers go hang out with the social media influencers? Just sayin. Also... I LOVE the pox rat comment.

See what you did there - trying to get rid of the SMI gang. Good idea, let the AVX crowd infect the SMI's and have the SMI's promote their no-nutrition fad diets destroy the AVX'rs immunoresponse capabilities by malnutrition and deficiencies... Mutually assured destruction - for the good of everyone else =D

This is just my opinion, but not vaccinating your children is a clear sign that you don't care about them and that you don't care about anyone else. All of these diseases that the vaccines were created for are deadly and to refuse to protect your child from them is just plain irresponsible. When I was little I was one of the sickly kids that missed a lot of school. If antivaxxing had been a thing when I was a kid I would not be typing this comment. I would be dead from some preventable disease. The anti vax research has been debunked and even some of its biggest supporters have retracted their statements. If you are a parent, it is your job to protect your child from anything that could harm them, so please vaccinate your children. This is not about parental rights this is about life and death.

On the contrary, for most parents who don't vaccinate, it's out of genuine concern over their contents (like Mercury), and genuine care for their kids. Whether or not they're correct is another matter, but the hysteria some have over unvaccinated kids AND the insults hurled at their parents is unfounded.
