    20% death rate seems somewhat normal for unvaccinated

    People like this should be treated the same as parents who drive their kids without car seats and seat belts.

      How this isn’t abuse is beyond me. They’ll screen about personal freedoms, but what about that poor child’s personal freedom.

      I hate that we let parents treat kids like property.

    Wild that you’re just allowed to be a child murderer if you claim the magic voices in your head say it’s okay. You’d think that the surviving kids would be saved from this kind of fucked up ideology, but in the U.S. we have concluded that it’s more important for people to be delusional.

    That’s a 20% mortality rate. If vaccines had anywhere near that level of mortality risk, all the streets of every city in the world would be absolutely fucking littered with bodies. You have to be one dumb motherfucker to think this is some kind of vindication for your antivax position.

    This is why you don’t vote idiots into the white house. Imagine this quality idiot dictating policy.

    CHD and Kennedy have relentlessly spread dangerous misinformation about the safe, lifesaving MMR vaccine, including that it causes autism (it does not) and even deaths (it does not).

    So much better that she just died rather than got autism and then died.

      As if autism is the worst thing you can have, come on… That’s actually offensive af of them to even say. I have autism and I’d rather have it than be dead, any day.

        There are definitely days I’d rather be dead, but that’s not the autism’s fault, it’s morons that believe in this shit.

      Not really. She didn’t learn shit.

      She gets to hold her dead child who could have had a full life thanks to modern medicine and pretend like she’s the victim.

      Not just irresponsible, delusional. At what point does delusional thinking causing a child’s death turn into neglect or child abuse?

    Crazy that anti-vax has even a fig leaf of personal liberty as a defense. Yes, you do have the right to make your own choices and you can be a negligent parent in 1000 different ways.

    But this isn’t even close to a personal freedom issue. You being a dumb piece of shit is a direct threat to the rest of society. YOU don’t get to make the personal choice to kill MY child.

    It should be simple for these serious diseases: unless you have a certified medical issue preventing it, you have to get the shot. Fuck any objection (personal, religious, whatever…). If there’s some negative side effect or a bad vaccine batch, you get generously compensated for our collective societal fault in harming you.

    Strap them down and jab them, let them bitch and moan about everyone’s children being alive and healthy later.

      Either that or, more gently, ban them from public spaces if they haven’t had the vaccine – schools, public administrations, grocery stores, malls, churches…

        This is the approach I would suggest. I do not agree with forcing people to take vaccines, but if they want to be part of society then this is a reasonable requirement. It’s simply an extension of the duty of care principle we already have for healthcare environments where vaccination and other measures are required for people to work in.
