Hahahahahahaha have fun with that, Texas, and other antivax-friendly states. I’m out of sympathy. You shit your bed, now lie in it.
The problem isn't with the idiots who voted for it though. The problem is that the children, you know the innocent ones who can't make decisions, are the ones who get to suffer. As are the people around the idiots who have weaker immune systems, and who may have not voted for the stupid or may just be too old and/or vulnerable. I love watching the actual idiots get their comeuppance, but I hate seeing innocent people suffer for their arrogant selfishness.
Can I add to this.
There’s a lot of people that aren’t able to get the vaccine who otherwise would be vaccinated.
Immunocompromised, allergy to MMR, chemo, steroids and other meds. The list goes on. These people are now in danger of suffering from hearing loss, brain damage, going blind, lung damage, learning disabilities seizures…and death.
All because Tinfoil Totin Tammy wants to be a Facebook Pharma Fighter but wound up putting the “no” in immunology” instead.
That's my wife. To say we're worried would be an understatement.
Same. Almost died from MMR vaccine as a child. I live in a blue state so I'm not terribly worried, but I may become a test case in avoiding death from this shit before too long. Hope they get it under control and you had your wife never have to experience measles.
