        Measles gave a me a lifetime immunity to being able to hear in my right ear.This was in '69,before the more effective MMR was available.I am living proof that #antivaxxers lie about kids getting through these diseases just fine. #vaccineswork #VaccinesSaveLivespic.twitter.com/so6SSlh4iO

        Whenever anyone tells me,"I'm not antivaxx,I just want safe vaccines", I ask them to name a vaccine preventable disease that is safe. Replies to date:0 Instead they deflect or walk away.

        Please explain exactly how VitC prompts your immune response to produce antibodies against a specific pathogen before you're exposed. And that was a deflection that didn't answer the question. Replies to date:still 0.

        It supports your immune system;it does not "boost" it. A "boosted" immune response is an allergic reaction. And VitC does nothing to directly prevent diseases. You're still deflecting from the question of naming a safe vaccine preventable disease.

        Yeah,oncesaw asimilar comment on Natural News about "all you need is sunshine." 'Cause we have the disease history of the entire African continent to support that statement. Still deflecting. Still spouting PRATTs. #YouLose

        Then there was the woman who looked me in the eye and told me,"I don't trust #vaccines. My dog became autistic after a Kennel Cough shot." With just a few more questions,it turns out that her dog had a reaction that left it lethargic for a day,but with no permanent disability.

        Killing babies is older than abortion but I'm sure that won't stop you.

        The majority of adults I've engaged with at my science center about vaccines despise antivaxxers and consider them a threat to kids.However,there is a difference between antivaxx and vaccine hesitant who choose to not immunize because they are genuinely scared of a bad reaction.

        Naw. They're still antivaxxxxers. If they are refusing vaccines that makes them antivaxxxxers by definition. I'm all for asking questions, but refusing the vaccine because of the miniscule risk is just stupid and selfish. There are risks with anything. Life in general is risk.
