@tend2wobble @georgetakei I mean, I know pediatricians who literally had #unvaccinated kids suffer so hard from #measles, they had to call an #ambulance and get that child MEDEVAC'd straight into the next ICU!
Not this one but you get the idea...
So good its odd I haven't seen it before.
Two-panel cartoon. In the first panel, a doctor is saying to a mother with her son, “Your son wasn’t vaccinated and now he has the measles.” The mother says “I want a second opinion!”
In the second panel, the doctor says, “You’re an idiot.”
@georgetakei Russia destroying us without firing a shot.
@karamazov1879 @georgetakei good question.
For Germany, there were 8 deaths since 2001 (introduction of mandatory reporting of all cases) which were all avoidable had they and/or their contacts been vaccinated!
@georgetakei in #Germany, the doctor would add to the first point:
"According to the Measles Prevention Act I'm obligated to report these findings. Your child has to remain at your home and cease contact until tested negative and symptomless. Please name any contacts / locations he has been too in the last 7 days or the health department will force you under threat of penalties to do so towards them. I hope we have an agreement and can get this done quickly. Otherwise I'd have to inform the authorities of your non-cooperation."
And yes, #measles vaccinations are mandatory for every child going to kindergarten or school and every teacher & careworker.
