Whooping cough epidemic WA state

[Boudica the Lyoness]

I know lots of people in Washington who have not had their children vaccinated.

I know a ultra religious family with four children. None of the children are vaccinated. The family's children are still very young and the parents claim there is something in the vaccines that comes from human aborted fetuses!

Because of people like them, babies are suffering and dying. I wonder if they will get the irony. We'll mention it, the next time we see them. Bloody idiots.

1. Morans. Though in reality, rejection of vaccinations eventually

results in Darwin Awards via many morans' children, so perhaps over time things might improve?

But I'm not holding my breath.

2. In reality, a recent survey in California showed that 81% of whooping cough victims..

had received ALL of the whooping cough vaccinations, 11% had received some and only 8% had never had the whooping cough vaccines. So get your facts straight before you start bashing people.

3. I have my doubts about this "study."

Because the author of the article uses Alex Jones as a source for a tinfoil-hat article he wrote.

A U.S. military document has been uncovered which seems to detail a U.S. Army plan for detaining "political activists" at re-education camps. These camps would be staffed by military-hired "PSYOP" officers in both the U.S.A. and overseas.

RT reports that the document has been unearthed by Alex Jones of Infowars.com and details can be seen on the PublicIntelligence.net website.

5. Did you check out the NYT article and the four Canadian studies that

concluded the same thing?

6. BTW this is about vaccines for kids not war.

7. This is spreading because people like you don't give

a shit about facts.

The facts are, people are avoiding vaccines and babies are suffering dying.

The religious idiots I mentioned in my OP did not vaccinate their children and therefore they are the problem. Be it their babies or someone else's, babies are dying because of people like them.

I will continue to bash idiots.

4. The anti-vaccination propaganda continues to take it's toll.

It's not just fundies, it's followers of greedy quacks like Andrew Wakefield, and woo spreaders like Jenny McCarthy.

8. One would think that the act of heroic altruism by Jonas Salk so many years ago, in

making his polio vaccine public property and not subject to the profit motive, would have allayed the concerns of the anti-vaccination crowd. Alas, there is no cure for ignorance. The same people who oppose vaccinations probably do not even know who Jonas Salk was and may not even agree that there are such things as viruses.

A really sad and tragic commentary on scientific illiteracy in this country.

9. I suspect it's a condition of being too comfortable for too long

people apparently need problems. And in the absence of real ones (plagues, famines, wars, etc) they create their own.
