People Can’t Stop Trolling Anti-Vaxxers With Memes (30 Pics)
Why are people choosing not to vaccinate their kids? There is no definitive answer to this, but in today's post-truth world, where misinformation and distrust of politicians and the media runs high, perhaps this is one area where people can feel that their personal choices matter. Opting out of vaccines may feel to some like a way of reasserting control over their family and their health, perhaps they find it easier to trust a misguided friend on social media than some distant politician who may or may not be on the payroll of 'big pharma.'
Either way, the anti-vaxxers movement is a dangerous, health risk causing trend, one that we here at Bored Panda are doing our best to highlight. With the battle for truth mainly fought online these days, it's only natural that anti-vaxx memes have become a potent weapon. Easily shareable, concise, humorous and savage, they are perfect fodder for the “TL-DR” generation and have become a common way to 'mock' the anti-vaccination crowd into modifying their behavior. Whether it works or not is another discussion, as we have seen in the past, people who feel under attack for their beliefs often double-down and solidify them in response. This is part of the reason why we have the least qualified President in the history of the United States, and political paralysis in the U.K.
Another thing to take into consideration with these memes is that they often carry an undercurrent of sexism with them; the savage roasts are targeted to the 'Anti-Vax Mom.' This mom is portrayed as dumb and naive, clutching her essential oils and a clean-eating regime, obsessed with her kids and suspicious of anything that isn't 'organic.' Presumably, all the dads in this scenario are ambivalent toward vaccinations, keeping quiet in the background while his shrill, unbearable wife makes a public spectacle of herself. Where are you all, Anti-Vaxx Dads?
No matter where you sit on this preventable diseases debate, the best memes we've collected below will give you a guilty chuckle. Dark, clever and merciless, they make their point loud and clear. But will they change anyone's minds? Only time will tell.

This is kinda misleading since essential oils do literally nothing to prevent diseases, while that poor cheese puff is doing its best.

House MD is an excellent, hilarious show, which, especially in the early episodes, focused on similar issues in the medical community, like anti-vaxxers and problems with antibiotics resistance.

I was going to comment something sarcastic like 'oh wow these diseases are still around?", but then I checked online about this woman. Turns out that was her thinking, plus generic fear over vaccines. Many people think that these diseases are eliminated, so getting the shot is unnecessary, and they're scared by unsubstantiated rumours they're not equipped scientifically to understand. Both are wrong. These diseases still exist and they kill, and the science behind vaccines is simple. Dare to read about it, and it's game over for anti-vaxxers.

Now that I think about it, Anit-Vaxxers are probably equivalent to the people who persecuted others in the Salem Witch Trails. Something they don't understand=must be evil and avioded at all costs.

Last year one of my former lecturers lost their 1 month old baby son to a whooping cough outbreak. He had been exposed to someone who had not been vaccinated and he himself was too young to receive the vaccine. This totally preventable disease killed a baby because someone decided not to vaccinate. I wish this was crime.

This. Don't love your own baby? Fine, don't vaccinate. But keep it away from the rest of the society.

One of the many things antivaxxers fail to see is that not only are they endangering their own children (which is like a crime or something, right?), but they are also putting at risk all those who have no immunity temporarily or permanently. Also, I'd like to point out that after the overwhelming evidence against a connection between autism and vaccines, anti-vaxxers have moved away from that argument, swapping it for things like 'one time I was vaccinated and juvenile arthritis set in 'shortly', so that must be it' or 'yeah, I don't like giving big pharma money over a tiny chance my kid gets measles, which isnt so bad btw". Not enough time to point out all the logical fallacies here, but it's just NONSENSE.

Most of these memes indicate the non-vaccinated child is at high risk of death, but in reality, it's the non-vaccinated child that is the danger to those with compromised immune systems.
