Those Anti-Vaxxers make me Sick! (actually DL related)

I'll just hold my breath through the whole thing.

Wait, I thought the best approach was to stick your fingers in your ears. Nobody told me about not breathing on that ride!

This should be the final word on vaccinations.

Lollipop, DUH!

Obviously no kid wants a shot, but for the kids' and NURSES' sake, parents, TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR CHILD who is hitting, spitting kicking clawing and biting the poor nurse who is trying to give an injection into the appropriate muscle and/or intradermal or subcutaneous layer of skin!!! At least a gentle, "Timmy, hold still!" will probably not damage his fragile little ego. I often have to remind the parent that THEY are in charge. Most of them look at me like they've never heard of making their child behave appropriately, and my only consolation is that they will have to live with the hellion they have never set limits on!

I absolutely agree. However, it's not that they will have to live with their snowflake, it's that everyone else will also have to deal with their snowflake. Also yours and every other kid will have to deal with the "elitist" kid. And those adults that do will probably not be able to do what they really want to do with the little imp - smack the crap out of him/her.

They must send their kid to Waldorf. We get a group for sailing classes every year that believe they only do what they feel like doing after analyzing the situation. We make it very clear that 1) you will do what we tell you, no discussion and 2) you will do it now!

After seeing we are serious we get very little resistance.

Some interesting articles.

Argument from False or Misleading Authority
Dr. Smith, an expert in computer engineering, does not believe in climate change, so obviously climate change is false.

THE HATE DEBATE OF THE ANTIVACCINATION CULT
... there are no debates about vaccination. These debates are an invention of anti-science people which is similar to false debates in other fields of science, like climate change, GMOs, evolution, HIV/AIDS, and many other areas.

RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS FOR VACCINATION–ABUSE AND REFORM
People lie to get a religious exemption.
Our jurisprudence makes preventing such abuse very hard. And with good reasons.
Because the religious exemption is so prone to abuse, we should remove it.

"Two Infants Too Young For Vaccinations..."

And yet the parents take them to the most crowded place on earth?

So who's really to blame?

Hi everybody. I'm still alive and well, and hoping you are the same. Just been busy, so all I usually manage to do is check in and keep up with posts.
