re: #166 Douchecanoe and Ryan Too
McCarthy and other anti-vaxxers aren’t just putting their own kids at risk, but everyone else around them. The side effects of vaccines are well known, and autism simply isn’t one of them. Polio isn’t a scourge it once was because of vaccines; these people simply forget what these diseases once did to entire populations - permanent disfigurements, deaths, hospitalizations, and the vaccinations prevents untold misery.
With a reduced herd immunity, we’re seeing a resurgence of diseases like pertussis (whooping cough). It’s just flat out nuts.
