Person Says He Always Trolls Anti-Vaxxers By Using A Car Seat Analogy And People Love The Logic Behind It
Despite efforts from social media sites such as Facebook, YouTube, and Pinterest, misinformation from anti-vaxxers continues to flood the internet. If these media giants can’t block the spread of #FakeNews then what can the rest of us do to prevent other people from being convinced of their flawed logic? Some people have taken the approach of trolling them with hilarious memes or comments, while others have shared their own personal experiences with anti-vaxxers.
One social media user decided to use logic to shut down anti-vaxxer rhetoric, using a brilliant car seat analogy that shows just how silly their arguments are.

The spread of misinformation and fear of vaccine has become so widespread that the World Health Organization has named “vaccine hesitancy” – the reluctance or refusal to vaccinate despite the availability of vaccines – among the top 10 threats to global health for 2019. Globally measles has seen a 30% increase.
People thought the argument was hilariously perfect
So why are parents choosing not to vaccinate their kids with a rising measles epidemic worldwide, and Google at their fingertips? According to a report from the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) half of all parents with young children have been shown anti-vaxx misinformation somewhere on social media. These ads falsely link vaccinations to autism.
While some parents are looking to the internet to fuel information about their unfounded anti-vaxx theories, the generation that has to pay for their parent’s mistakes is also turning to the internet to find information how to protect themselves. The legal age of medical consent is 18, but it hasn’t stopped some underaged kids from turning to places like Reddit to ask for advice.
This health issue has led to some countries to start creating laws and legislation that will force parents to vaccinate their kids, the same way there are car seat laws in place. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention: “In the United States, 723 children ages 12 years and younger died as occupants in motor vehicle crashes during 2016, and more than 128,000 were injured in 2016.”
While booster seat and seatbelt laws vary from state to state, there is data that proves that booster seats are more effective in reducing minor injuries in young children than seatbelts alone. The CDC also reported that “Of the children ages 12 years and younger who died in a crash in 2016 (for which restraint use was known), 35% were not buckled up.”

Load More Replies...I thought the same thing! But what would they(the babies) benefit from using? Lavender and chamomile so they will sleep through it (car crash) ,Or garlic and clove oil to prevent sepsis from their cuts and broken bones?.
Load More Replies...Being antivaxx makes less sense than being anti car seat, because car accidents are not contagious, and if car seats were dangerous, one could avoid them by not allowing children into cars.
TWO diseases in ONE game! Fun for the whole* family! *(well, not so much for the kids... they _always_ lose) Photo taken by me in Peru, posted with permission to reuse as you like. IMG_201902...93f34c.jpg
Same thing with airbags. They can do as much damage as the wind bag anti- vax misinformation spewing folks. I'm sitting here with laryngitis after being subjected to the worlds largest Hallmark Card, elementary school, the poster child of the sentiment "the gift that keeps on giving". That's why we have long breaks in winter, spring and summer. To recover from whatever is floating or has settled on every surface in a classroom. Ugh.
an autistic person here, I can say from experience, listening to these IDIOTS complain about how terrible it is that vaccines cause autism, when I have it, and they're talking about how they would hate their kids to be vaccinated, because of how much they would hate for them to be autistic, It just hurts.
This person really needs to use a car seat!!!!!!! I can't believe him, putting his life at risk!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Fun for the whole family! (well, except for the kids... they always lose) IMG_201902...70e3f0.jpg
You know what bugs me? Why did they pick autism for their theories? Of ALL things, why autism?
Because Andrew Wakefield, the first to propose the inesistent correlation between vaccines and autism, was paid to do so by a solicitor who represented parents of autistic children. Basically, they paid him to "prove" that vaccines caused autism so they could ask for damages. He was widely criticised for failing to disclose this huge conflict of interest and for the invasive medical procedures he imposed on the autistic children he studied. Eventually he was struck off the British medical register. It's really ironic how anti-vaxxers always say that doctors are paid off by someone (Big Pharma, the government...) and that they force useless medical procedures on children, since that's exactly what their hero Wakefield did.
Load More Replies...I use the helmet argument. The amount of head injuries reported from motorcycle accidents skyrocketed after helmets became mandatory. Did that mean that helmets cause head injuries? No. That meant that helmets help keep you from dying. Instead of going to the morgue after an accident, you went to the hospital with an injury. The same can be applied to modern medicine. The number of people diagnosed with autism has increased drastically since the introduction of vaccines. But, that doesn't mean they cause autism. It means kids are living long enough to be diagnosed. Also, medical science has progressed enough to give us correct diagnosis, many people are being diagnosed now, who would not have been diagnosed in the past. My older brother was born in 1977. He was labeled a problem child with behavioral issues. My parents started homeschooling him. When he was 22 he was finally diagnosed with dyslexia. He didn't get diagnosed with Asperger's until much later.
Autistic people can do anything. They are just like everyone else, except unique.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.... you get the picture.
I actually prefer the "seat-belt" analogy. If we assume that seat belts cause pain, (which is demonstrably true in serious accidents) Some people have a bad time with seat-belts sometimes, during an accident (whiplash, marks, friction burns etc), but they are not dead. they have vastly higher survival-rates in moderate and serious vehicle crashes, not wearing them... Not wearing a seat-belt is a risk, something that everyone knows.
People who don’t wear seatbelts only hurt themselves. Let’s mock them and make the government mandate everyone wear one....
My seatbelt only works if the government mandates everyone wears theirs too! Oops, wrong way....
Some time ago I read news about how some places had started to give free tampons for teenage girls. Of course some people thought that it was a really bad idea because 'tampons include some really dangerous chemicals and no one should use tampons because of that'. So it is really sad that too many people are against many good healthy things because of some b******t information.
If you give away free tampons it will just encourage women to have more periods. - politician logic

Wow. Those outdated theories were disproved before the b******t autism/vaccines study was published. You need to keep up with your reading.
