    @bicmay @inquiline About 12 years ago, at an info session for my child's preschool, the question of measles vaccines came up. "It's not, like, *Ebola*," said the school's director, who was old enough to remember polio and should have known better.

    I approached her privately after the session was over, and politely mentioned that Ebola's total mortality was in the tens of thousands, while measles has killed millions. She bluntly refused to process this information.

      “A number of them clearly said if they had known, they would have vaccinated themselves and their children against measles, but they didn’t realize how bad it was,” Nolen said.

      @bicmay These people are MORONS, as god is my witness. SOME OF US LIVED THROUGH measles epidemics of previous years. You could have asked us. We were certainly speaking up loudly. DOCTORS were warning you. You could have listened to them. But YOU wanted to stick UV light up your asses, and now you're surprised you're, what, suffering, becoming disabled, dying? THAT'S WHAT VACCINES PREVENT, you lunatics.

            Wish we had a vaccine for this.

            Seriously though, I feel bad for the kids that get sick or die simply because they were born to moronic parents.

                  @MissConstrue @bicmay I had measles as a kid, and my Mom locked me in the bedroom and turned off all the lights and drew the blinds because she was afraid I would lose my vision. I know I warned EVERYBODY I knew when this epidemic broke out to vaccinate as soon as they could. They just don't listen.

                    It's so bad humans invented a vaccine against it.

                    You'd think that would be an indication.

                              Vaccinating your remaining kids, after losing one, would be an admission that your decision to not vaccinate that child was responsible for their death. @bicmay @thriftwicker @mossyrua

                                          @mossyrua @bicmay That’s the language they’ll use, because they lack both the personal awareness and self-critical honesty it takes to say “I devalued all the voices telling me that I was wrong and now I’m angry that these same voices weren’t able to convince me because I want it to be someone else’s fault”.

                                          The underlying problem remains.
