The Salem Witch Trials were a rough time for Lethia.

I wasn’t vaccinated and never got sick so

And I swam and didn’t drown.

Anecdotes aren’t evidence. The reason YOU specifically didn’t get sick is because of something called Mass Immunity.

That means that since everyone ELSE is vaccinated (you’re welcome), there’s nowhere for the virus to establish a hold.
That mass immunity is the only thing that keeps people who CANNOT vaccinate—like the immunocompromised—from catching it.

The second that people stop vaccinating, that immunity disappears and the disease resurges, as is clear from the fact that the US is currently experiencing an epidemic of a disease that was projected to become extinct in our lifetimes.

Get immunized. There’s no reason not to.

Considering that there’s a whole host of people in my age range who weren’t vaccinated enough (even I was missing the second dose of MMR until recently) getting the measles and the mumps I think it’s ridiculous that we’re arguing over a life and death situation. Literally, do you want to live or die?

Another reason I don’t think people consider: I had three doses (one more than usual) of the measles/mumps/rubella vaccine. But after getting strep throat in southwest France in 2009 (where it was apparently fashionable not to vaccinate kids for a while, and where there had been a sudden measles outbreak) I got the measles. AND IT SUCKED.

It wasn’t because the vaccine didn’t work. It was because my immune system was weaker than usual. Everyone’s immune system has to deal with strep or colds sometime, so not vaccinating your offspring seriously does put everyone around you at risk––even if they made a smarter decision than you.

VACCINATE YOUR FUCKING KIDS 2015

they got mad

Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong wrote this about his father, who died of cancer on September 1st, 1982. At his father’s funeral, Billie cried, ran home and locked himself in his room. When his mother got home and knocked on the door to Billie’s room, Billie simply said, “Wake me up when September ends.”

So I’d be angry too if people kept this shit up every single year.
