Fuck you, anti-vaxxers

[arewethereyet]

Kids can't get their first measles shot until they're a year old.  Meanwhile irresponsible people CHOOSE not to vaccinate their kids, thus exposing infants to a disease that we have the power to eradicate.  Can't very well keep your kid locked inside the house and never go anywhere the first year of life.  And especially, you gotta take your own kid to the pediatrician that first year, where the waiting room is gonna be full of sick kids.  I think parents who let their kids be unvaccinated should be prosecuted for neglect.  And should keep the kids in quarantine, for other people's sake.

Don't even need to read the article----this link title tells the story well enough.

And then there are the immuno-compromised who cannot be vaccinated.  

The whole anti-vax thing just doesn't seem to me to be the hill I want my kid to die on.  And that's the thing - these parents who are not providing proven protection aren't endangering their own lives...they are just willing to flip a coin when it comes to their kids.  Too bad we can un-vaccinate the anti-vaxers so that they actually have to deal with the risks themselves instead of by proxy.
