moniibear:tinytheursaring:rainnecassidy:fuckyeahcomicsbaby:VACCINATE YOUR FUCKING KIDSi know this isn’t my first time reblogging this post to this blog, and it probably won’t be the last. Stay educated.Before vaccines were a regular thing, epidemics had about 5x more casualties than epidemics of the same diseases today. Vaccines didn’t kick off right away at Jenner’s experiment, it wasn’t until Louis Pasteur’s experiment with anthrax when vaccines became more widely tested. And that experiment was still during the time period (late 19th century) when Germ Theory was still widely unaccepted. Germ Theory wasn’t taken as seriously until Robert Koch’s work with tuberculosis was the talk in nearly every European science magazine.The first rising of antivaxx was in the 1880′s, from people who were both trained medical professionals and skeptical people with barely any knowledge of medicine. Its 2017, and with people STILL thinking vaccines don’t work makes me worried that one day I’m gonna have someone straight up tell me how real the miasma theory is.My uncle’s parents didnt vaccinate him against measles. He got it. He also almost went blind. To not vaccinate ur kids against things we can so readily avoid….is child abuse. Many schools and pharmacies and clinics offer free vaccines. Ur literally a bad parent if u dont vaccinate ur child against measles, or any other slew of diseases that can cause serious harm. My friend was pissed when her mom was on chemotherapy, and all these anti vaxxers were saying that their choices only affect themselves. THEY DONT. YOU ARE LITERALLY PUTTING OTHERS IN DANGER. Her mom could have DIED or gotten horribly horribly sick because of this anti vaxxer bullshit, which is causing disease outbreaks like we havent seen in a long while. My other friend is a nurse. He also is pissed that anti vaxxers never assume they can harm others. My nurse friend has frequently lamented over how the elderly, children with immune disorders, babies, pregnant women, people with diseases like AIDS or are on chemotherapy….are constantly put in dire jeopardy all because some asshole is wearing a tin foil hat, thinking chemtrails are a thing, and choose not to vaccinate themselves or their kids against diseases we were supposed to have eradicated, but are now bringing back. He actually sees the effects of this ressurgence in measles, and whooping cough, POLIO even, and a bunch of other diseases….and how it hurts his immune-compromised patients. -- source link
