@ai6yr These parents should have their children taken from them for neglect

@lawyersgunsnmoney @ai6yr 🎯 My mom read about this and called me outraged in that way that only a nonagenarian Jewish grandmother can. She is 89 (90 in April) and remembers classmates who died of polio, measles etc etc in the 40s and 50s. Within living memory! I am similarly livid that these antivax flat-earth fuckwits are going to make us repeat communicable disease history in the worst possible way.

@PamelaBarroway @ai6yr I’m with your mother and you. Not as old as her but I remember being Vaxxed in elementary school when it was relatively new. The sugar cubes. Dr Jonas Salk being featured in documentaries as a savior - which for millions he was. As much as the child sacrifices to intentional ignorance are inhuman, worse to me is the Malthusian manipulation of medical resources like vaccines by the regime, apparently for population control. MAHA = death

Perhaps we need to riff on the silence = death T-shirt and make this one? 🤷

@ai6yr Sympathy for the kid but the parents? They can piss allll the way off. They also should be forced to pay for all the care their son has required due to their stupidity.

"MEASLES: A Dangerous Illness"

From The Encephalitis Society: Measles causes encephalitis in around 1-3 in 1,000 children. Measles encephalitis caused the death of Roald Dahl's daughter Olivia in 1962. He became an ardent supporter of measles vaccination as a result of the tragic loss of his daughter. He wrote a letter to parents
