An anti-vaxxer mom in Washington recently asked a Facebook group called the Vaccine Education Networkย how she could protect her unvaccinated three-year-old child from a measles outbreak in her state. To be clear: she didnโt vaccinate her child, and then became concerned about how she could make sure he didnโt get measles. Too bad thereโs not already some way to make her child immune toโฆoh, wait. VACCINES.
Her message read, โMy 3 year old is not vaccinated and there is currently a measles outbreak in my state. Any suggestions for precautions I can take to protect her would be very much appreciated.โ
Now, there are some cases where a parent canโt vaccinate a child, like when there are immune system diseases present, but this mom didnโt mention any of that, so it seems safe to assume she just chose not to vaccinate.
Anyway, as you can imagine, she got a whole bunch of advice from the group, most of it in the form of sarcasm and dark jokes. Because if a parent wonโt listen to doctors and science and instead endangers their child by not getting them vaccinated, what can you really tell them?
People, PLEASE, vaccinate your children!
