This Person Shows How Flawed Anti-Vaxxer Logic Is By Using It In A Post About Choking On Food
If you can’t beat em’ join em. Anti-vaxxers come up with some pretty ridiculous arguments on the internet so instead of arguing one internet user decided to write a post on their own unpopular view – that food is dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. For many anti-vaxxers, their talking points include examples of times people developed other serious conditions as a result of vaccines, so this poster decided to use the same tactic in their analogy.

She started by telling her own story as an anti-vaccination analogy example “I once almost choked to death while eating food” and telling other parents it had caused her to make a very serious decision – “I don’t feed my kids.” The author continued to point out that every parent should be able to decide what to do with their kids but, “I’m just saying, do your own research and decide what you think is best for your kids” and that “If you choose to give your kids potentially deadly food, that’s your problem.”

While many found the post a hilarious vaccination analogy, there is always some truth in comedy. According to Injury Facts 2017 choking is the fourth leading cause of unintentional injury death. Of the 5,051 people who died from choking in 2015, 2,848 were older than 74. “Food is often responsible for choking incidents in the elderly. Living alone, and having dentures or difficulty swallowing can increase risk. If you see someone clutching their throat, coughing, gagging, wheezing or passed out.”

Vaccines cause autism, I'm sure of it. Once Bigfoot and I finished our Kennedy investigation, and fake moon landing cover up; Elvis took me to the edge of the flat earth and told me that vaccines cause autism.

Aliens visited my house, flew me out of the flat earth and told me "Vaccines are useless junk that kill. We ask fellow aliens on Bored Globflorp for advice against preventable epidemics because vaccines are doodoo".

I've said it before, in the comment section of another article about anti-vaxxers, so I apologise for repeating myself. I have autism and I was vaccinated as a child. I was also vaccinated as an adult, as it was a necessary requirement in order to do my job as a biomedical scientist. When I read stories of parents not vaccinating their children because they think it causes autism, it's incredibly hurtful. They're essentially saying, they'd prefer it if their child died from a completely archaic and avoidable disease, than have autism. I know which option my mother preferred; her child being alive and autistic, instead of being dead. Also, my immune system is shocking as I have a bunch of other health problems, including kidney disease. I'm curious to know how a parent would explain to my parents, how their unvaccinated child was a catalyst for my totally avoidable demise. That's a genuine question and if somebody is able to answer it, I'd be truly grateful.

My son has ASD. And although he is high functioning, he struggles everyday with emotional and sensory issues. Did he get this condition from a vaccine? I really DGAF. I would rather have him alive and autistic then dead from a disease that took several other people out in it's wake. That being said..I seriously don't believe vaccines are the cause more than I believe that it's genetic. And the reason I believe this is because dozens of studies have not only identified the genes, but Canadian medical groups are now using those genes to identify autism in children as early as 6 weeks old. Anti-vaxxers need to pull there heads out of their collective a$$e$ and stop listening to celebrities that have no medical training of any kind...

Whew! Damn near went 6 days between anti-vaxxer posts. Good thing for the constant barrage of them or I'd forget what the issue was. Thanks BP for anti-vaxx-shaming post #637! *sigh *
