My mother's mother was an anti-vaxxer before it was cool. God knows how my mother survived.

Our grandparents/great grandparents witnessed the diseases 1st hand, now there aren't here to tell us of the pain & folk assume it's made up

As a parent... Parents are dumb AF....
dArthVater
Ah now I get it, you had severe epidemia of those in the US... I was wondering why the smooth imgurians became brutal hounds on antivaxxers.

When did political correctness become the new war on science? Years of research, and people just want to dismiss it.

When children are not vaccinated, other students with auto-immune deficiencies are at greater risk. People, stop being stupid.
BrownskinOriental
I like how parents scare the shit out of each other in these meetings. Drugs, guns, vaccines, you name it.

Cant me give them some brain cells in the mix. Like a cocktail of vaccination with a dash of intelligence

These fucking idiots should be arrested. Literally.
PowderHound52
"But no one has those diseases, who needs vaccinations" so much cringe how can you be this daft.
TheSwallowSavvyGuard
Google a list of diseases eradicated from the US and Canada within the last 70 or 80 years. They think it just won't come back.

I do not believe you. Half out of denial and half because this is imgur.

Its pretty common in california for people to deny vaccines. It was made mandatory for public schools and people lost their shit
mstPenguin
Well, by 'other parents' I guess I only mean two. But three was frightening enough.
Murderface828
It'd be neat if schools taught students about the sicknesses vaccines prevent so maybe less of this shit would happen...
junpakukarasu
People know cigs cause lung cancer and still smoke, it's the "it'll never happen to me" mentality that's a part of the problem as well
ThatAssholeOverThere
Its mandatory for schools here in CA, so thats nice
Sickofnotliving
@op, in which state does this occur?
mstPenguin
Southeast
Sickofnotliving
Southeast... Places where people don't trust the government... Id say Mississippi but I don't think they have involved parents. Florida?
peasantpanda
I'm having a baby soon and if he gets sick from some anti vax asshole I swear to god
INSANITYisTEMPORARY
Best advice...Do your OWN research abt vaccines..... Make an informed decision... Read the CDC reports.. AMA of Pediatrics...read the STATS
peasantpanda
I don't have to research anything to know that they are entirely beneficial

Christ.... I misread & misunderstood.... Good luck w labor !! Happy healthy to you & yours

Oh I'm sorry. Misunderstandings all around. Thank you ???? same to you

Even if we could vaccinate people for stupidity they're too stupid to actually get it.

Can't fix stupid, you can only sedate it.

Pta doesn't get to decide. It's mandated by the state isn't it?
codylishush
Not that this story is real.

If they're not smart enough to know how vaccinations work, it stands to reason they're not smart enough to know PTA doesn't have any power.

This is how I feel every day I have to remind myself that I chose to teach teenagers and it's not 100% their fault they're kind of idiots.
Sickofnotliving
As a former teacher of teenagers, it's not that they are idiots, it's that they don't have a reference for what is demanded of them in life.
Sickofnotliving
The garbage we teach them in school doesn't prepare them for life. It's often muddled down as to not offend anyone. We're pandering to
Sickofnotliving
The ranks of the insane. Parents, school boards, the state. None of these people understand what it is to teach, to culture imagination
Sickofnotliving
Reasoning and auxiliary skills. Sorry that I went off on a bit of a rant. It disturbs me to me core to talk about the state of education.
INSANITYisTEMPORARY
an entire generation seems to have forgotten how many children died fm measles, polio, whooping cough, rubella.. They need history lessons
tibschris
On the other hand: Jenny McCarthy is a celebrity.

Sadly, it will take history repeating itself. They've already shown they don't learn from history alone.

They need to repeat history sadly.

On a side note..... LOVE the profile !!
KillahQueen
Well you know what they say: Those who don't learn from history, repeat it. Or: Play stupid games, Win stupid prizes
INSANITYisTEMPORARY
Big ass poster-size picture boards... Showing these diseases ...then ask THOSE parents who wants to sigh their children up FOR THAT !

Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it, those who do are doomed to watch everyone else repeat it.

Oh, they will get them...

I think the same thing every time I hear people love and support the idea of "getting rid of all the Muslims."

They haven't forgotten, they were just never taught about it. Education quality has been degrading for years sadly enough. ???? ????????

I've learned. Im in 11th grade and the diseases are a large part of the lessons

Problem is that the loss of herd immunity also threatens people who can't get vaccines for medical reasons (allergies or the like).
CoolAndy87
As a nurse I judge parents who don't vaccinate their kids. They usually fit a certain profile: overly confident, under-educated white moms.
mikeatike
inb4 someone chimes in with "who are you to judge their morals?" They are the goddamn nurse, that's who.
GreatWhiteNorthEh
Working restoration and renovation and the worst clients by far are usually stay at home moms that watch too much HGTV.

As a general rule, under-educated people tend to be overly confident.

Thanks for posting this.
HalloIamherenow
It is unfortunate that fools are so full of confidence while intellectuals have nothing but doubts.
TheRealDurdan
And educated people constantly doubt themselves. Weird.
aPrideofLions
who down voted you?
CoolAndy87
Sometimes the more you know, the more you know you don't know. It becomes terrifying quickly.
TheRealDurdan
Sure does. It started at uni for me.
impulsivepassion
that is just something people who lack confidence say to feel better about themselves...
TheRealDurdan
Have you heard of imposter syndrome? I see it a lot with fellow phd students. Even my supervisors.

just wiki'ed it. interesting.

Mom tells me they've cock-tailed the flu shot. Lots of vaccines in one dose, which we're allergic to some. So yeah, thanks government.
DocWino
Your mom is a moron.

Read into things that your mother (Or anyone for that matter) tell you and form your own opinions
madifier
I trust my mother fully on medical research. I have no need to doubt her or my aunt who is an ER nurse on such. My own delivery, not so much
TheRealDurdan
Nurses don't know everything about medicine and pharmacology
IJUSTMADETHEVOICEINYOURHEADYELL
YOU CAN'T JUST DECIDE SOMEONE IS ALLERGIC THOUGH. UNLESS IT'S BEEN TESTED ON YOU IN SOME WAY, YOU WON'T KNOW. YOU SHOULD GET TESTED.
madifier
Flu shots are given on a regular basis to update you immune system. Yeah, we've suffered. Don't want to go through that again. Save the caps
bushidopirate
1/2 of course a flu shot is a "cocktail"; it has to protect against multiple different strains of the flu. There's nothing scary about it
madifier
So many negative comments. My family, like other commenters here, will become deathly sick, because of one or two things they've added to it
CrazyGuyOnABike
My relative is a pediatrician. According to them, the only allergen in shots with an affected incidence over .001% is egg in some shots,
CrazyGuyOnABike
which even then isn't lethal in most cases. I'd encourage you to make sure your research is correct.
madifier
Thank you. Yes I misspoke earlier, the egg part was part of the problem. I'm done here.

Or when they say it's religious beliefs I'm genuinely curious about which religion.

"Mary Baker Eddy, who argued in her book Science and Health (1875) that sickness is an illusion that can be corrected by prayer alone." WTF?
thegayestunicorn
I'm actually allergic to vaccines and could die if I even get so much of a tetanus shot. So not all moms are stupid...
DocWino
I'm guessing your allergic to preservative. By your logic, you would die if you got the flu since a vaccine is made from a virus.
therealbaronmunchausen
Which is why it's important that everyone around you be vaccinated. Then you're protected too.
GoogleFucker
Legitimate reasons don't count. You rely on herd immunity.
CraftedTardis
Very similar case here, if I get a vaccine there's a high case of a reoccurring auto-immune disease.
CommasUR
Just curious, what happens to you if you get a vaccine and why?
ItMakesNoSenseAtAll
Which means that if other people around you get measles, you're very likely to get it too. So, surely you'd want those who can be 1/2
ItMakesNoSenseAtAll
To get vaccinated?! 2/2
apiringLEO
I highly highly doubt this nurse was referring to mothers with children that have legitimate reasons to not vaccinate their children.
thegayestunicorn
It's stereotypical though, so I just want to prove a slight point. The people who don't vaccinate due to illogical reasons can kiss my ass.
diddlydumdiddlydee
My concern is that parents who choose not to for no legitimate reason actually put people such as yourself at risk.
euphoricle
They happen to be the vast majority though which is the issue.
thegayestunicorn
Sadly.
TotallySerious
Why is this being downvoted?
weliveinaspaceshipdear
Because the poster equated a legitimate reason for not getting vaccinated to anti-vaxxers.
TotallySerious
I see a school nurse blanket judging all anti-vaxxers and a post with a reason why sometimes it's ok not to vaccinate being downvoted.
jrunk
To ALL vaccines? Got a name for that? Half skeptical half legit curious.
thegayestunicorn
I'm not sure what is it, I, myself and my family get horrible reactions to vaccines like seizures and intense illnesses that last for months
jrunk
Thanks for the reply and sorry to hear it.
thegayestunicorn
It's okay.. Tetanus shots contain latex (SEVERE ALLERGY), flu shots leave me sicker than the flu would.. uh I'm not too sure what else..
Ivesaidtoomuchalready
I know someone who can't get flu shots because of the egg in it, not sure about others.
jrunk
Familiar with the egg allergy stuff thank you though. I'm skeptical of not being able to receive ANY vaccines not some being contraindicated
weliveinaspaceshipdear
Herd immunity protects many people who can't receive vaccinations for health reasons. It's a thing.
jrunk
Certain people can't get live vaccines, others can't receive various others for various reasons, unfamiliar with anyone who can't get any.
weliveinaspaceshipdear
Severe allergies. Auto immune disorders. It's rare, but it does happen.It's more common among those with multiple disabilities.
