The antivax sentiment in one of the most notorious red states is trying to move forward with disabling and killing its populace, starting with kids.

NEVER give a #MAGAt a "second chance", because this is NOT their second chance. It's the 5398220956596860th chance, after caging children separated from mothers, in concentration camps,trying mass murder by #antivax, sending people to overseas concentration camps, murdering people with their gestapo...

Fuck them. Every single one of them.

As professionals who have had to reason and analyze antivax behavior, the comment that always stayed with me is that "People will remain willfully ignorant until it affects them directly".

As Measles Takes Toll on Kids, Anti-Vaxxers Have Change of Heart

For some vaccine-hesitant parents...who’ve been goaded by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., watching an outbreak rip through their state has made the deadly realities of the disease more concrete.

They’re starting to question their own deeply held beliefs and the conspiracy theories that fueled them. And in several measles hotspots, enough of them are quietly changing their minds on the MMR shot that it’s slowing down the outbreaks.

I wish I could say I believe it is a turning point, but our recent history suggests that ignorance will keep outpacing facts unless laws are made and enforced to protect everyone.

I am currently visiting a country where most seem sane (Mexico) and I have to see this horror of damnation, #racist and #antivax shit. The denial will take this particular #Kennedy straight to hell for his negligent murders. Racoon, bear cub and whale parts were not enough for this ghoul, he had roadkill actual human cubs.

RFK Jr. Gives Xenophobic Reason For Measles Outbreaks In U.S.

The Health and Human Services secretary regularly rails against vaccines that have been proven to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

Anti-vaxxers are not new, but we MUST make them OLD NEWS.

There is an odd trend of export of "American" nativism flowing INTO the US from CANADA, of all places, since mid to late 1800s, and I can not fathom why, really. The above diatribe is from some waste of skin called Alexander M. Ross, MD, from Alberta, who had been vaccinated, himself.

#Covidiots #antivax

@MaddieM4 I'm very happy with zeroes.ca — it's based in Canada but happily accepts non-Canadian users. It has the most generous post length limit of any instance I'm aware of: 5000 characters. The only problem might be if any of your partners and friends were #antivax; the name "zeroes.ca" is a reference to #ZeroCOVID, and the instance bans antivax advocacy, #COVID19 denialism, etc.
