Anti-Vaxx Mom Tries To Bring Her Unvaccinated Kids Around Best Friend’s Infant, She Leaves A Brutal Comment
The anti-vaxxer community is no longer just a radical group on the internet that inspires memes but has led to a very real outbreak of more than 200 cases across 11 states. The situation is so dire that the The US Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions held a congressional hearing called “Vaccines Save Lives: What is Driving Preventable Disease Outbreaks?” to discuss how they were going to handle the situation.
While lawmakers are going back and forth about the possibility of mandatory vaccinations, parents are not waiting around and taking matters into their own hands in order to protect their kids. One woman in Portland, located in one of the hardest hit regions, wrote a scathing post about how to handle these anti-vaxxers, that shows this crisis has not only affected people’s health but also their relationships.

A mother took to Facebook to call out anti-vaxxers in a brutal post, which targeted her former best friend of 15 years

Published in the sub-reddit group r/insanepeoplefacebook the Portland mother slammed her anti-vaxxer former friend, Emma, for almost putting her infant daughter in danger by attempting to bring her unvaccinated children to meet up with her and her child, who was too young to be vaccinated.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, children can receive their first measles vaccine (MMR) at 12 months and the second before entering school from ages 4-6. If young children are infected by measles the effects can be extremely serious. The disease can lead to pneumonia, encephalitis (swelling of the brain and even death.
The woman goes on to say that Emma didn’t inform her that she would be exposing her child to diseases any “any responsible parent would have vaccinated their of-age children against.” She criticized the anti-vaxxer mom’s behavior calling it “selfish,” and “reckless.” In the end, she adds that since the woman is “unable to determine the differences between a health blog and peer-reviewed fact-based science” the best solution is that she and her fellow conspiracy theorists “found another planet and moved there.”
People in the comments agreed with the mom’s harsh words

The is no such thing as Anti-Vaxx. It's Pro-Plague. Read that on Twitter today and I wholeheartedly agree. Disease-spreading imbeciles...

The comment that kills me is the moron who thinks there are "too many" vaccines. Really? What diseases do you want your child to get? Vaccinations are about public health. They should NOT be voluntary - they should be the law. Thankfully school districts are wising up and not letting phoney "religious" exemptions destroy herd immunity in their buildings.

Well, different countries vaccinate for different things - so the UK doesn't currently vaccinate against chicken pox presumably because the cost vs danger level analysis doesn't support it, but in the US I think you do - so there are going to be 'borderline'' illnesses which some countries vax for and others don't, which might make someone in one country ask if a particular vax is necessary if another (responsible) country doesn't. In the UK we vax for HPV at age 12 and I don't know if the US does that, so that could be another 'borderline' illness. But yes, measles, mumps, rubella, diptheria, polio, tetanus and I think some of the meningitises the UK vaxxes for. It's not compulsory though and we're having soem of the same problems with anti vaxxers.

Anti-vaxx and Flatearthers... What´s next? Sacriface virgin girls to the glory of the Sun God? Inquisition 2.0? 21st. Century, people...

I hope its not the sacrificing of virgin girls to the sun god. Would the sun accept anti-vaxx and flatearthers instead?

That is shocking. You put a small child at risk. All because you are stupid enough to not vaccinate your child.

I don't understand the logic of pro-plaguers. They still expose their child to the disease, which could kill them, but they don't want to get a vaccine? Which is the weakest form of the disease so that the child becomes immune without having a risk of dying. And please, too many vaccines? I'd rather have too many vaccines than potentially die of polio.

I just don't understand how anti-vaxxers come up with their conclusions when there is overwhelming evidence from every reliable source imaginable that vaccines save lives.

I think that anyone who believes in the Anti-Vaccine should have to spend an afternoon walking through a hundred year old cemetery, reading each of the tombstones. If they were to do that, they would come across family plots where entire families, multiple children, died within weeks of each other. This was usually because of exposure to a contagious disease that would cause the death of almost all the younger children. When you walk through the cemetery, seeing those, you should have to sign paperwork acknowledging that the same thing could happen to your family and to any families they come in contact with while contagious just by not protecting you and your

Many older cemeteries have sections that are just for infants and small children. The grave stones are generally marble, so they're worn smooth, but they're row upon row of tiny stones - all dead children, most of whom died because of infectious diseases.

Dear Anti-Vaccinators Please Do not use Autism as a fear tactic. Using a condom will reduce sexually transmitted diseases. Vaccinating will not reduce neurodevelopmental disorders. In my genes there are markers that were passed onto me and I have passed those onto my 4 children. They will pass those onto their children. Welcome to Evolution! That is life. Do not use my genetic mutation as propaganda that shows bigotry and discrimination at its core. I am not your campaign mascot. Welcome to the world of human evolution.
