      Some anti-vaxxer lunatics on my feed, spewing their nonsense about how measles isn't serious (tell the 100,000 people who died last year). In honor of my father, a world renowned infectious disease expert who saw untold numbers of kids die from measles, I will block these nuts.

      I've been dealing with antivaxers and refuting their misinformation for close to 20 years now. The basics of their pseudoscience and conspiracy theories never change, but there are many permutations. It's like playing Whac-A-Mole.

          I find that funny because in Australia, a ‘mole’ is slang for a slut or something like it here. It’s meant to be deprecating 😆

          The worst part is, there's next to nothing you can ever do/say to change their minds. If vax discussions were a football game, they'd be flagged on every play.pic.twitter.com/C3ZuIdVTjZ

          They need to believe in it. Because otherwise they'd have to believe that their kid was injured just due to bad luck, like so many other kids, and that's apparently just too painful to bear. Somebody's gotta take the blame. I just wish they'd picked, like, Nickelback instead.

          I say hit them where it hurts:in the wallet Federal law requiring they carry liability insurance against claims if they infect people Same w/gun safety:jail time plus MAJOR fine for unauthorized discharge. Fine $1,000 for unsecured gun. Cheaper to buy trigger locks or gun safe.

          Am truly disturbed as a parent that a disease that has all been eradicated is coming back in full force. It is a matter of time before we are reporting on deaths from measles
