Mom Whose Daughter Has Cancer Wants All Parents To Hear Her Emotional Message On Vaccination
The peak of flu season is upon us, which means doctors will be urging the public to get their vaccines, and, as we know, along with the push to get shots will come the anti-vaxxers with fake facts. Last year the Center for Disease Control reported 183 influenza-associated pediatric deaths and one already this year. Despite the data that backs up the antidotes for vaccine-preventable diseases, there are still people who refuse to vaccinate their kids and they are not only putting their own children at risk but others as well.
Mother Nicole Stellon O’Donnell recently took to Twitter to show the devastating effect not vaccinating your kids can have on other people’s children

I don't give a F about religious freedom when it comes to vaccinating kids... the rest of the nation needs to follow California in making vaccination of children mandatory. See California SB 277...
It's mandatory in other states as well, but there are always people that lie or work around it.

My two cents: Texas Education Agency (TEA) requires all kids to be vaccinated PRIOR to being allowed to enroll. Texas colleges require it was well up to age 25. So if your kid isn't vaccinated that tells me you can afford to home school them or send them to some private school that doesn't require it. If you have that financial ability, you should be required to pay into a child care fund for sick children because you're the direct reason why certain diseases haven't been eradicated yet.
Something that's always puzzled me? Lots of people say things like xyz had a bad reaction/was injured by vaccines therefore I won't have any. However almost everyone knows someone (or is that person) that has been in or involved in a car accident. Yet people aren't anti driving. I know they are not the same thing by a long way but my point is that people only apply their point in one scenario
I know a closer example, medication. How many people do you know that is allergic to a med? They get a bad reaction does that mean you're not going to take it? Some people can't tolerate some medications does that mean you're not going to take them? Unfortunately the anti-vaccine argument has no logic to it.

No point in trying to talk to these uneducated turds. Laws need to be passed to force them. People with unvaccinated kids who spread disease need to be charged as the criminals that they are.
I have Crohn's disease. My immune system is really bad, and if I'm exposed to, for example, the flu, it could incapacitate me or be extremely dangerous. Then I would have to stay home, and then my little brother (who has Amplified Muscular-skeletal Pain Syndrome, aka AMPS) has a good chance of contracting it, and, since he has a serious immune disorder, it would be even more dangerous for him and he could be disabled or die. He developed AMPS after a bad case of the flu lead to walking pneumonia and his immune system basically started killing itself. So yeah, if you don't vaccinate your kids, you are a horrible person and don't deserve to be a parent.
In Singapore, vaccination is compulsory for every child. I cannot imagine what will happened if it is optional as Singapore is a small country. Reading the above comments make me wish that we can ship these anti-vax parents to an island and only allow to travel if they get vaccinated. I feel for those immune impaired friends, its bad enough that they are down with cancer and such but to be make their life worst when it can be easily avoided, its very selfish of anti-vax people.
If you chose to not vaccinate your children, You and the kids should go live on an island somewhere where you won't harm other people with your "personal choice".
I like this. we could exile all antivaxers someplace... maybe send them some blankets.

I see that knocking sense into anti-vaccers is pointles.. Skulls thicker than bricks. I just hope that their kids will not ever have to undergo polio, measles, tetanus, tuberculosis. I really really wish they don't. because not only those might prove lethal for them, but they will also blame their parents and other anti-vaccers for the rest of their lives. And those dangerous diseases will most likely leave them challenged as well.
Get your kids vaccinated - do it not just for your child, but for the benefit of other kids as well.
TELL ME HOW GOOD OF AN ANTI-VAX MOM I AM CAUSE I'M A SNOWFLAKE WHO BELIEVE IS PSUEDO-SCIENCE AND KALE!!! Shame they can't get a common sence transplant.
This happened to me too, and I was even younger, only 6, when there was an outbreak at my school. I almost died.
Plain and simple: We all live in a society with rules and regulations. Noone questions the rule that you can't just pick yourself on what side of the road you're gonna drive today. There's noone who gets a permission to ignore that rule because of "convictions" or "religion". The rule is there to protect us all from injury and possible death. So it seems to me that making vaccination mandatory by law shouldn't be that hard to achieve. Make it law, call CPS on parents who refuse to obide to that rule and give those parents massive fines or put them in jail. Let common sense prevale. ( America will have to wait till at least 2020 before common sense can prevale, the civilised world can have this done in 6 months.)
It should be classed as child abuse to not vaccinate your kids, its completely ludicrous, the rate of these avoidable diseases is raising because of this. The British doctor who first made this connection has not only had his research completely discredited but he has had his medical licence revoked for life. What will happen in the future is doctors etc will refuse to see children who haven't been vaccinated. How would you risk the life of your child over something so completely ridiculous and false?. Medical scientists have tested these and tested them again and again, its backed up by a wealth of knowledge and is absolutely irrefutable. Risks, maybe but you risk your a*s everytime you cross the road but many kids still cross the road.
My father was born in 1918. He married late in life and I was born in 1962. My father thought vaccines were a MIRACLE. He grew up in a time before vaccines and lived first hand, in south Louisiana, what measles, mumps, scarlet fever, Spanish Flu pandemic, etc could do. His sister had scarlet fever as a child and it stunted her growth. She never grew past 4' 11" I'm 5'9" and my dad was over 6' tall. When my daughter was pregnant, I asked my PCP for a Tdap booster because pertussis (whooping cough)is making a comeback.
That is standard, masks in crowded places, this story could have been worse if daughter got measles, mom should always protect with vaccination and mask if bad immune system cause of illness.

Read the article again, carefully and with comprehension this time. Exposure isn't the same as contracting a disease.

Ah typical anti vaxxer, lists all of these reasons and 'damage' without explaining. Put that on top of terrible grammar and viola! You get a insufferable sod.
