Anti-Vaxxer Angry Over This Sign At School, Attacks It On Facebook, Gets Shut Down With Many Responses
There’s no vaccination for pig-headed stubbornness and self-destructive arrogance. That’s a bummer because the world would be paradise if we were all able to leave our shells and explore different opinions to ours.
The anti-vaxxer community is so wrapped up in denying the reality that innocent children are put at risk. Case in point, one woman named Price raged hard when internet user Kenleigh_ posted a school sign saying that only kids with proven immunization records will be enrolled in one New Mexico institution. Price didn’t want to hear anyone’s opinion but her own.
Someone shared this sign about needing to immunize your kids before they can be enrolled in school
An anti-vaxxer named Price was triggered by the post and was quick to reply
Imgur user zoezimmm shared the interaction online, and it went viral. The post was viewed more than 107,000 times and got more than 3,000 upvotes (and rising)! Also, over 440 people found the post so intriguing, they just couldn’t help but leave a comment.
The anti-vaxxer was not prepared to listen to reason
Folks on Facebook tried to help Price realize she was making a mistake by not vaccinating her children when she stated she’ll homeschool them. However, the anti-vaccination zealot Price was sure she was 100% right. According to her, she was better off homeschooling her kids anyway because schools were, apparently, places where teachers “beat up” children, and where bullying and shootings happen.
Price also juggled several conspiracy theories. What story about anti-vaxxers is complete without those? For example, Price argued (without any proof) that immunizing kids against chickenpox allegedly gives them shingles. Meanwhile, one of Price’s relatives stated that vaccinations are linked to the rise of autism, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), and other disorders.
The claim that immunizations ‘cause’ autism is one of the favorite slogans of anti-vaxxers everywhere. It’s also entirely wrong. Rumors spread after a paper was published in 1998, allegedly linking the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine to autism. The researchers and their conclusions were utterly discredited.
Medical News Today emphasizes that vaccines do not cause autism, and refers to a very recent “large-scale” Danish study. In particular, the study looked at possible links between the MMR vaccine and autism in “at-risk individuals.” Scientists had access to data on 657,461 children, of which 6,517 were diagnosed with autism within 10 years. Researchers then “compared autism rates in children who had received the MMR vaccination and compared them against children who had not had the jab.” There was no increased threat of getting autism when vaccination. No surprises there.
Reading about anti-vaxxers brings a certain satisfaction. Probably because it serves as a benchmark for how _not_ to live your life. So if you’re still in the mood for some more of Bored Panda’s content about people who hate immunizations, check out the following posts. Here’s an article (by yours truly) about how people responded to a woman wearing a ‘Jesus wasn’t vaccinated’ T-shirt. And here’s a list of the most entertaining responses to anti-vaxxers. Enjoy!
People on the internet had a lot to say about the anti-vaxxer movement
I'm always surprised about the 'everyone is entitled to their own opinion'. This is not a matter of opinion. Would you go around killing everyone you saw, because in your opinion that was ok? This is about facts, science, not opinions.
This is a public health issue, and that trumps everything. You do NOT have the "right" to spread potentially fatal diseases to other people - but antivax morons don't get it. They're childish, selfish idiots who are willing to let their children die for the sake of their egos.

My aunt contracted meningitis as an infant. She survived but had severe brain damage. It's not only death that vaccines prevent.
Although, to be fair, you can't vaccinate against many forms of meningitis. (Not that I am an anti-vaxxer!!!)

I am School Director in France. Here the vaccination is obligatory to enter the school, to present the "notebook of health" of the child during the inscription is not optional.
@Mommyofboth I don't know what WV is. Is it West Virginia? Well when do the schools break up where you are? Over here it's the very last few days of July.

Price needs to really really do her research. If her kid got measles the day after she got an MMR shot, then she got the shot too late since measles has an incubation period of several days before symptoms appear. She also needs to realize that vaccines cannot cause genetic mutations in a person's DNA. Scientists have already identified the genetic marker that causes autistic symptoms..so much so that it is now used by Canadian medical facilities to warn them that their children may have autism..sometimes on infants as young as 6 weeks old...long before they get their first vaccine. The rising cases are from two facts..increased amount of toxin exposure in everyday life...people know what it is and what to call it now.
Putting herd immunity at risk is a threat to public health. The end. Nobody has the right to risk EVERYONE's lives --- babies, elderly, immune-compromised from cancer like my spouse --- because of "opinion".
I've said it before and I'll say it again: if vaccines cause autism, why have none of the people the were vaccinated as adults suddenly gotten it?
They have an explanation for that too. According to anti-vaxxers: when a vaccine is given at a young age (when the brain and body are still developing) then the vaccine can cause brain damage, autism, etc. They completely ignore the fact that autism becomes apparent at about the same time that vaccines are given whether you actually get vaccinated or not. They view this as a provable correlation between vaccines and autism. What I don't understand is, why don't they have their kids tested for autism and then vaccinate? If they delay the vaccinations (which I am not recommending), it would still put everyone at risk; but it would be a lower risk than skipping the vaccinations altogether.

I still don't understand the logic where you would rather have a dead child than an autistic child (obviously vaccines do not cause autism but these people think they do)
Sometimes preventable diseases kill our kids. Sometimes they leave them alive, but with severe brain damage, or lesser harm such as weakened limbs, blindness, or deafness.

Please, stop using the word "triggered" interchangably with "offended" or "angered". I know lot of people do it but please, do not endorse this in the articles on this page. "Trigger" and "being triggered" has its own meaning and it's really disrespectful to rebrand a psychiatrical term describing a debilitating symptom of a mental illness as something to call angry butthurt people.
So anti vaxxer rather choose to stay unvaccinated because vaccine has 1% or less chance to cause autism (which are still a myth), meanwhile unvaccine kids have 99% or more chance to get any disease. I still remember back in years 90' every mom trying their best way to get vaccine for their kids. WTF happen to today parenting ?
You're right, 0% is less than 1%. There simply is. No. Connection. Between vaccinations and autism. Not 1%, not 0,5%, but ZERO PERCENT.

Love the comment about vaccines preventing children from building up a natural immune defense against the flu. This idiot obviously doesn't know that flu vaccines do exactly that; they expose you to a controlled amount of the virus so your body can naturally create a defense against it. How about less time watching anti-vaxx videos, and more time reading up on how vaccines work?
Cause buying into conspiracy theories is easier than actually using their brain.

Child got MMR shots and Measles right the next day ... umm, Lady? Ever heard of that thing called "incubation period"?
I don't understand how you want your kids to get an education in a public or private school that requires vaccination for the safety of other kids, but you, as a parent, do not have the education to understand this.
We need laws people! This is stupid how long this has been going on! It should be classified as child endangerment!
One of my hobbies is reading Victorian history because it contains so many seeds of our current culture. In Manchester in Victorian times about 50% of children died before reaching the age of 5. Then vaccines became more widespread and the stats improved. Now we're going backwards to the days when a family might lose 3 or 4 children in one week to disease outbreaks.
If you insist on being an antivaxxer, then you have to take responsibility for that choice and home school your kids. Your poor choices should never be allowed to endanger others. Typhoid Mary didn't believe she was infecting and killing people so ignored what doctors told her too.
Almost every country in the world has signed the Biological Weapons Convention which entered into force in 1975. Sending unvaccinated kids into the society is an act of biological warfare. Why isn't there anybody proscecuting these idiots?
Vaccines have existed for more than four generations of my family. This means all four of my grandparents, both parents and all three siblings and thirty nine cousins would be autistic due to vaccinations. Either we are all immune to autism or something else must be happening, but we are all fully vaccinated.
Your grandparents are young enough to have been vaccinated for measles? I’m 63 and I had all of my “childhood diseases,” as they were known then: Chickenpox (6 weeks—inadvertent exposure on this one), Mumps (both sides at once, kindergarten), Measles (2nd grade—and I can still remember the misery), and German Measles (3rd grade). Because there weren’t vaccines for these then, my mother exposed us whenever something broke out because the younger you were when you got it, the easier it was to get through it.

Good, homeschool your kids and keep your walking petri dish away from other people's kids.
I wasn't vaccinated against chickenpox (didn't exist in the 80s). I got chickenpox so bad! It got infected and I had to go to the hospital. I got shingles, once, when I was 32. It started on my face! It got in my eye and warped my cornea; now I have astigmatism. I really wish I had gotten the shingles vaccine. When I was 30, I got meningitis from an unvaccinated kid I was working with. That was horrible! I was living alone and I might have died if one of my cousins hadn't come to check on me. Luckily, I suffered no long term damage from that. Please, vaccinate your kids. As an adult, please get whatever vaccines are available for you.
Pretty sure the Amish communities closest to us in NY state DO vaccinate. You know who DON'T vaccinate? The Hasidic Jewish communities. Guess where all the recent measles outbreaks started.
Of course you haven't seen smallpox! It's extinct thanks to vaccinations!
One thing people forget about vaccines is that you can sometimes still come down with what you were vaccinated against—-but most often only a barely noticeable, sometimes only a mild, and very rarely a bad or life-threatening, case. Vaccines contain very weakened, partial, or less harmful related, strains of a germ or virus which when injected trigger your body’s own immunity to produce antibodies against that germ/virus—-which is the whole point. When Edward Jenner—-back in the 1790s, by the way—-noticed that milkmaids were consistently resistant to smallpox outbreaks, he discovered it was because they were exposed to the related, but incredibly less harmful, cowpox by touching the cows as they milked them. Exposure to the less devastating, and less infectious, cowpox through vaccination helped millions avoid the pockmarked skin, or death, that smallpox can bring. Why would anyone want to purposely keep their children at risk of disfigurement or death from devastating diseases?
While I strongly agree with the school's message, I also do wish that schools host vaccination events to make vaccinations accessible to every single child.
Our school hosted vaccination events a few weeks ago. I'm not in the proper age to vaccine though. But I would love to get the vaccine.

I don't understand why there is even a choice. Also, is she going to home grocery shop and home go to the mall? That shows how ridiculous her theories are. You may be able to homeschool your kids, but you can't home do everything, so you are still exposing your kids to the other people.
Two things that never get old: Dark humor and kids that aren't vaccinated.
When my kids were younger there is no way that they would have gone to school with kids that weren't vaccinated .
is sharing your opinion a bad thing? ( Not a supporter of that woman but I just want to know ) ( and also not an Anti Vaxxer )
The argument that "this group of people have never vaccinated their kids and they are still alive" is stupid on so many levels. First of - dead men don't talk. Secondly - only reason the survived is because the majority of people DID vaccinate and were thus protected by the herd immunity. And thirdly - many of these groups had limited exposure to other people..so keep your un-vaccinated kids out of school, thank you.
I'm sorry (not sorry) but from Prices' comments I have to say that she is in the wrong timeline because nowadays it's very rare for teachers to actually beat up pupils and the whole thing about the vaccines causing the illness are incorrect it is possible that the child after the vaccine can get sick and that's because the vaccine is a neutralised bacteria for the immune system of the child to learn how to deal with it - now I sound like an adult

Pharmacist here - the problem with the "evidence" and "studies" the antivaxxers use is that they are mostly observational studies. It's too much to explain here, but you can't base a cause and effect from those types of studies (cause being vaccines and effect being whichever disease/disorder presented by the antivaxxer such as autism). Observational studies ONLY show a POSSIBLE link of a cause to an effect. Not a true link, but a "maybe there is a link". Actual studies intended to test each possible link while ruling out as many confounders as possible would need to be performed, but that can't happen cause it would be unethical. Therefore, there is not real evidence and or studies to support these claims, but their are real studies to support the benefits of vaccines...
Oh, I forgot to say, many of the possible links found in observational studies are able to be disproven or highly doubted which is definitely the case in many of these studies the antivaxxers use. Problem is, they don't know how to interrupt the data being given to them in these types of studies, so they take it at face value. It's a very deceptive type of study if you don't understand them, their goals, and the intention of the study itself.
