If you’re an antivaxxer, go ahead & block me - I don’t want anything I say to be useful to you. Thanks in advance!

Antivaxxers kill people. They kill their own kids, AND they kill people who can’t be vaccinated. Their children should be taken away and they should go to jail. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/it-will-take-off-like-a-wildfire-the-unique-dangers-of-the-washington-state-measles-outbreak/2019/02/06/cfd5088a-28fa-11e9-b011-d8500644dc98_story.html …pic.twitter.com/JRyQM2I5l0

Refusing to vaccinate your kids is not a “philosophical choice.” It’s child abuse, and if your kid catches e.g. measles, you should be prosecuted for child abuse AND manslaughter. Because:pic.twitter.com/GxAi61ZMkN

When your “philosophical choice” kills & maims other people, it’s no longer yours to make.

I had measles as a child and therefore have immunity for life, So WHY do I need a Measles vaccination? Vaccines Kill more each year than the diseases they are supposed to prevent, How is injecting poison supposed to make you healthy?

Educate yourself. At least half of what you just said is factually incorrect.pic.twitter.com/YTwI9vrVNA -
I had the chicken pox VERY late (as an adult) and I've inquired about a booster/follow up vaccination and my INS COMPANY laughed. So I'd also like to know what was factually incorrect? People who have had diseases are frequently refused vaccinations by their insurance company.
-
It is factually incorrect that vaccines kills more than the diseases they protect against. Not to mention all the suffering they protect against (ie. Polio can return in later in life).
-
Right I didn't address that part - I was talking about the part I addressed, apologies. You need to tell insurance companies that because I got the chicken pox and have been denied a booster of the vaccine ever since *shrug*. They won't cover titers for my immunity either.

And why is it that in some school districts you can't have your child bring a peanut-butter sandwich to school, but they have no problem letting unvaccinated children attend? If unvaccinated, then you shouldn't be allowed to attend public school. It's a major safety concern.

Our daycare has a "no jab, no play" policy. We had a few outbreaks of preventable illnesses so they doubled down. Only medical exemptions. They would cancel existing enrollment and refuse new if there was no proof of immunisation.

I'm scared that this approach only further hurts the people it's supposed to help and already vulnerable minorities. Not a completely analogous situation, but it reminds me of the frame around truancyhttps://www.uclalawreview.org/an-interrogation-and-response-to-the-predominant-framing-of-truancy-2/ …

Antivaxxers are largely rich white women. That’s why nobody takes the crime seriously.

They also kill kids who have been vaccinated. Simply because there is that 1 to 5% of cases where a vaccine doesn't produce immunity. This isn't a concern as long as 95% of the population are vaccinated, disease still cannot spread. But if too few are, there is an issue...

If only they were lethal only to themselves and their offspring. I was fortunate to live much of my life when people cared about the well-being of others to some extent.
-
Even if they were only hurting their own offspring - we generally don't want to let people do that
-
we are far too ready to punish children for the crimes of their parents. They didnt choose to be at risk to deadly diseases
-
You are right. I should have said “themselves”. I feel for the helpless children.

That quote is wrong & a mashup of two bits of data from
@CDCgov: 1. measles virus can live for up to 2 hours in an airspace where the infected person coughed/sneezed. 2. if one person has it, 90% of the people close to them who are not immune will also become infected.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
