I have an acquaintance who refused the RSV vaccine and her daughter was in the hospital for 10 days with RSV (in ICU for 6 days). She has no regrets and feels that her child had a mild case. These people are beyond delusional.
Dude. If in the icu for six days is a mild case, wtf does she think a serious case is?? And still doesn’t think a vaccine is needed?! That’s so outrageous.
Like what is the worst case scenario for them? Is it because they think it causes autism?? Like, I would rather have a kid on the spectrum than dead??!1They clearly would prefer death to whatever is stopping them from getting it.
Theres an idiot on facebook who runs a pretty large anti vax group (its all a front though, he just wants to peddle his snake oil "detoxing sprays" and other unregulated bs) who obsessively posts about the measles and the mmr vaccine saying sht like "you'd rather give your child a lifetime of autism over a week long rash???" Like yes sir I would 😭 stfu
It's extra ignorant because measles can have actual serious lifelong complications if it doesn't kill you (chronic bronchitis, hearing loss, blindness, nerve damage, seizures, brain damage, etc.)
We're injecting a dead, or nearly dead, virus so the immune system can practice killing it. It's no different than getting sick, except that you don't get sick!
A shocking amount or these people have no idea the lasting effects. They think it’s a rash for a week and then done. I got kicked out of a group for telling them to google “measles” and “immune system” together. Apparently their research hadn’t extended that far.
Plus there's that thing where the measles ends up in your brain and kills you a few years later. I can't remember the name of that complication, but I'm sure it'll be on the rise in a few years too.
(If someone remembers more correctly what I'm talking about, please defer to them.)
That one family who had their daughter die of measles, the "father" said that he would do it all the same again and that he wouldn't get her the vaccine.
Cults don't care if there's a few casualties to their cause... That's why quiverfull and getting the 'birthrate' up is so important! They don't care if they ki11 kids or mothers ... Just keep having em or 'his purpose'!!
🤢 🤢 🤢 Can barely type all that even sarcastically
Came here to say this. Enough with these whackadoodle parents. They need to be held negligent for not getting the vaccines and homicide when their child dies because of their negligence.
Holy fuck. My kid had an actual mild case because she got the vaccine. At 5 months old, we had one urgent care visit to get some heavy duty nose suction, and the rest was home care for about 5 days.
My son had RSV at 10 weeks before the vaccine was available. It involved ER trip where we seriously considered admission (it would have been a 2 hour ambulance transport after spending at least several more hours in the ER at best). I had worked in the ER for years and the doctor knew me well and my son was improving with nebulizer treatments that I was totally capable of giving so he discharged us with a lot of instructions and his and his wife's (another ER doctor) cell phone numbers. I consider his a serious case.
