Should anti-vaxx parents be charged with child neglect? (Personal story)

You are unable to find the relevancy of finding a peer group when evaluating intelligence as a way of establishing how stupid us stupid Americans are?

Or


Are you still upset I made the MD DO joke and now you are acting like a child?


Either way, lighten up bud
You've made a lot of dumb comments in this thread. I like to take the opportunities to point it out in the hopes you reevaluate your choices and improve as a poster overall.

You're welcome. I do it because I care.
 
Thank you for admitting your error. Trust me, I just saved you from looking really dumb in front of real people, not just anonymous GIAHORTians.


You're welcome.
For the record, I didn't admit my error, I really didn't know whether it met the scientific definition of a vaccine or not. I just always believed vaccines prevented/stopped the spread of viruses, and I knew COVID shots and flu shots aren't really that...

Few in the real world view flu shots as vaccines, and nobody did before the COVID vaccine came along, whether it meets the scientific definition of vaccine or not.

Sort of like how we all commonly refer to our form of government as a democracy even though technically it is not.

I still don't consider people who don't get flu/COVID shots anti-vaxxers. They were around before COVID and they're a different breed.

Doctors, virologists and immunologists do.

Maybe you're just sheltering yourself in an "alternate reality" here. Maybe dump the "news" sources that "trained" you on vaccines for more reliable ones, in the future...

No, everyone who understands words knew they were vaccines.

Unbridled ignorance.

My anti-vaxx cousin and family (2 kids under age 8) are sick as dogs with the flu.

All are un-vaxxed and didn't get the flu shot. I tried to encourage them to get vaxxed to the max but they didn't want to.

I get the flu shot every October. I had 6 covid vaccines. No side effects. I think they all got 1 or 2 covid vaccines years ago because they were forced to.

I feel like anti-vaxx parents should get fined or deported if/when their un-vaxxed kids get sick.

What do you think?
Meet Brian. He stays at home a lot where he can watch CNN and mask up. He also wears a mask while alone in his car and mostly goes out only when he feels the urge to brag about getting his latest booster. Lately he's been starting to notice people have lost interest, so he's turned to this board where he can find solace and a sense of belonging with other supposed like-minded psychopaths who love to help encourage his mental illness. At the end of the day, all he wants the rest of the free world to pander to and pay for his over-the-top unreasonable chicken shit germophobic attitude. A true tory and a coward, clinging tighly to safety over bravery and freedom.

I believe unvaccinated children should not be allowed to attend public school.

Same rules that applied to me when I attended school 50+ years ago.
You do realize that different vaccines work in different ways, right? Traditional vaccines when you were in school were very effective at preventing infection and spread. Covid vaccines do neither.

Why is America an anti-vaxx country now??
The US isn't anti-vax. The US is anti-vax for so-called vaccines that don't work as advertised. I'm not sure why you refuse to acknowledge the difference. Does it make you feel all warm and fuzzy to be on this crusade? Does it get you all excited that Joes Place is your new BFF?

I posed this exact question a while back and I absolutely believe they should. The only fly in that ointment is vaccines are not 100% effective so would one need to prove the child would not have become ill if they had the vaccine...

Flu vaccines, from chicken eggs, are "traditional vaccines" too.

And, like Covid vaccines, against a dynamic (NOT a static) virus, they only work on circulating strains.

What is the efficacy of a measles vaccine? Is it based on live virus, dead virus, or mRNA?
Measles is a DNA virus. It is highly stable...that means it doesn't mutate easily if at all. The vaccine developed in the 60's is still effective because measles is still the same virus. Influenza...and covid...are RNA viruses and are highly mutable. The vaccine that works on a flu virus one year might be ineffective a few years later because that flu virus has changed in a fundamental way.
 
How come it's always non-doctors spreading vaccine misinformation?

Why are the most ignorant usually the most confident?
The educated, indoctrinated, and brainwashed will give them a big run for their money on that.

The medical industry (including pharma) and medical education, are perfect, and completely un-influenced by money or politics or anything like that?

No but they're usually better informed than non-experts.
 
If a kid didn't get the flu shot and catch the flu, no (the flu shot is for a specific variant and won't protect completely from other variants)

If they haven't gotten MMR and catch one of those, then there's a good argument for yes.


When did our country become so stupid regarding vaccines? Even when my kids were young, I'd never heard of anti-vaxxers. Now it seems like they're everywhere. We're devolving.

When Trump told the cultist they were bad
 
I'm not the one trying to say someone's kids shouldn't get to go to school.
Life is about choices.

I do realize that different vaccines work in different ways, yes. And to your other remark, I chose to listen to certified virologist rather than chat room blowhards when it comes to science.

Life is about choices, and freedom of choice, funny how you don't like the other guy making his choices.
