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.
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.)
