Why are there people old enough to be mothers who are unvaccinated? I thought it was just people whose brains were addled by the pandemic not vaccinating their kids.
Sadly, the anti vax nonsense goes back much further than covid.
I remember being a young adult (I'm 38 now) and hearing about anti-vaxxing in the media. In the early -mid 2000s Jenny McCarthy and I think a few other celebrities were on the "vaccines cause autism" train.
We still haven't reaped the full outcome of that. Still plenty of parents to be who haven't had kids yet who fell for that BS.
Because we are old. Wasn't the Andrew Wakefield nonsense paper from 1989? Oops no, it was 1998.
Unrelated, beginning of his Wikipedia entry is to die for:
Yup, and 1998 was 27 years ago, that's a perfectly reasonable age for motherhood. My kids were born when I was younger than that.
He should have been sent to prison for his pure corruption and disregard for human safety.
My daughter in grade 7 just had her last round of needles. Based on her observations you should be concerned at the amount of children who now do not get any shots for "reasons".
It's gonna get worse. A lot worse. I do what I can to educate her and her friends when I see them in the hopes one day they will get their shots but I'm not optimistic.
Vaccines are a victim of their own success.
There's a good chance that many or all of these cases are in the Mennonite community.
A kid I went who was in my Elementary class had a parent or parents who were antivax, among other things. I was left I am now somewhere in my late 30’s.
