Mom of 7-year-old hospitalized with brain swelling from measles: ‘I still wouldn’t have given my son the vaccine’

EXCLUSIVE: South Carolina parents living in the state’s measles epicenter tell Rhian Lubin of their devastation after their unvaccinated 7-year-old son, Ethan, developed encephalitis, a complication from the virus that causes swelling and inflammation in the brain

@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

@lawyersgunsnmoney @PamelaBarroway @ai6yr

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

@arisummerland @PamelaBarroway @ai6yr That’s great! Anyone who is so inclined should go for it 👍
