Anti vaxers = Anti intelligence.

It's always all about THEM with these idiot anti-vaxers. Who cares if that old geezer dies b/c of an infection they brought in, it hurts their precious feelings.

But they are idiots lol (JK, they are just uneducated and ignorant). Seriously though, No matter how many times they are shown evidence against their ridiculous beliefs they dig their heels in even more. They are a minority yet they think they are smarter than immunologists, cellular and molecular biologists, other scientists, Dr's, specialists and the majority of the population. Give me a break.

a child in the US contracted tetanus, was treated, 57 days in the hospital, $800,000. a lot of the time in ICU. next time hand them a needle and thread and let them do it themselves

Only vaccinate the children you want to keep.

Smart AND classy. The whole package. *sigh*

This drives me crazy! I'm all for natural remedies and I have a degree in it, but children need vaccines. Natural medicine can not cure cancer, tetanus, etc.. Natural medicine helps with a lot alongside these shots and anti vaxxers are to stupid to get that.

are they showing their IQ number in that picture??

Is there a vaccine to protect us from anti vaxxers?

OMG, do these idiots not realize their KID is the one at risk, and THAT is why the kid was isolated?! So that someone sick in the ER doesn't get THEIR kid sick? Medically educated, and you go into isolation for two linked reasons: Protect others from you, and protect you from others. An unvaccinated kid around people with GOd knows what? Basically, this is how Virus Apocalypse starts. But hey, why listen to the NIH, CDC, WHO... People who've seen measles kill... Who have seen tetanus kill... Who have seen polio victims... What would we know?

I posted already, but to make this clear: Isolating an unvax'd child is ALSO for the child's safety. There have been two outbreaks in NYC and one in SoCal just within the last 12 months due to ... Travelers who weren't vax'd, got sick/were sick, and spread the germs. So that unvax'd kid is in the ER, the place most likely to be visited during illness by any foreign visitors. It's SOP, isolate those at risk of GETTING as well as those at risk of GIVING.

can we just put a bullet on their head? i sick of those people and can't take it anymore.

A former flatmate of mine was a medical student working in a hospital and watched someone die of tetanus. It took him three days of cramping, despite being in a coma, to finally die. It is one of the worst deaths imaginable. The only reason tetanus is so rare is because everybody is vaccinated against it! It's not THAT unlikely to get it. These parents should lose custody.

These fucktards should've been escorted out of the hospital and directed to whatever essential oil diffuser they think knows more than doctors. Anti vaxxers need to f**k off back to anthrax island and stop infecting the world.

We put our child at risk and got lucky! Yeeey!

I wonder how many of these anti-vaxxers are just envious of physicians' status and wealth, so they feel the need to "prove" to themselves how "evil" or "stupid" doctors are.

I am a parent that believes in vaccines. My daughters father does not. He is so strongly opposed to it that he is willing to take me to court for custody if she receives vaccines. Try to be open minded & kind. It's not that cut and dry. The kid deserves medical care for a broken bone regardless of his parents beliefs.

I'll wait for the pic of them flipping off the camera at the cemetery

I'd truly like for the Antivaxxers to all move to an island, where they could all raise their unvaxinated kids together--all homeschooled and whatnot with flat-Earth theories from Youtube--and attempt to live the selfish lives they think they want; without doctors, scientists, the WHO, and the CDC all up in their s**t. Jenny McCarthy and Kat Von D. could be the President and Vice President. I'd be willing to bet they'd all be dead, if not deathly ill, by the midterms of the first election...

They come in for medical practices but while insulting medical practices. Bloody ingrates that bites the hand that feeds them.

As a Mexican I need to say respectfully pinches pendejos, hijos de su pinche madre, si son estupidos es su culpa y responsabilidad. Que se los lleve la verga y bien parada. Que los cargue el chingado payaso por pendejos y les quiten al chilpayate para que padres inteligentes lo puedan tener.

I wish I could've upvoted this article more than once. I agree with all the comments. Idiot parenting sums it up.

The scariest part is if you are pregnant, but it is so early you don't know, and you get rubella from these arseholes.

Being isolated is no big deal. Come to us when you have a real problem.

Don’t flip off the very people who are helping your son.

Risus sardonicus....

I agree with each every one of these comments.

They used the word infect in quotes: "infect". Does that mean that not only they don't know the efficacy and safety of vaccines, but they actually don't believe in infections?

Did anyone else notice the comment by "TheStrikeOfGod" (in the original post)? Specifically that they obviously have no idea why people are against vaccines?..."poison and stuff" lol smh. P.s. I f*****g hate antivaxxers. Like sure, flip of the hard working professionals that helped your child and/or possibly saved his life. You two clearly are the f*****g worst.

Why are you even in a hospital? Theres nothing a doctor represents that can assist your son. Go Home!

Yes Tetanus can be treated today with good medical care but the post above only mentioned some of the symptoms and seemed to be under-representing the true effects of the disease. https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/229594-overview#a2 A death rate of “2 in ten” is 20%. Any parent who doesn’t see that as a huge risk doesn’t deserve children. In fact, it can be as high as 60% today and before vaccination was over 90%. https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/229594-overview#a6 I have helped care for a horse that developed tetanus. The vet had to visit every day, it needed to be fed and watered by a tube down its throat, because it couldn’t swallow. It had a breathing tube and if the vet hadn’t quickly treated it, it could have died a terrible death by suffocation. It survived but took weeks to recover. Elderly people who work in their garden are most at risk, particularly if they grow roses with thorns. Tetanus can be everywhere, particularly where there are horses.
