Taking to them, no, coughing on them, absolutely

It's too bad she's already pregnant because if kids weren't involved that level of crazy would be grounds for divorce

Slim

Absolutely correct

Mrs Featerbottom

You would really divorce your wife if she was against vaccinating?

indocoug

1/4/20 4:46pm

Absolutely I would. It would be an indication that she is unintelligent and unreasonable and I wouldn't want to stay

If I had didn’t have kids, it’d be almost automatic

Oh wow, you really think the MMR shot caused the autism? Wow.

Coincidence? Definitely.

No because obviously he's been vaccinated against it. I'm saying that in rare

DJROSS

Wait for what? Experts to study this in-depth?

Martin Van Nostrand

1/4/20 4:36pm

Just stop. There is ZERO evidence that vaccines cause autism, or trigger autism, or have ANYTHING to do with autism

So was it genetics or the shot?? Or just genetics??

Study after study has failed to show any causal link between vaccinations and autism.

You should publish the results of your findings about your nephew.

Correlation does not equal causation.

So his severe autism came on all of a sudden? That's hilarious.

He caught it..at around age 2 or 3 ...like the others...

Repeating stories like this feeds the problem

Can the husband just sneak the baby to the doctor?

cougarblue

My thought as well. I think I might try this if my wife stopped vaccinating

Teach them about natural selection.

No. Just have him take the kids to the pediatrician and get the vaccines.

It’s very difficult to reason with people whose arguments aren’t based in logic

Some parents are just overwhelmed by it all. They are afraid. It's kind of like

Problem is it is not only the unvaccinated that suffer

True story. We were directly impacted by anti-vax cousins who contracted measles.

Glad it worked out for you. It really does affect other people.

Try watching Behind the Curve on Netflix. It’s about flat earthers, but I think you can learn a lot about how to talk to

I think a big part is acknowledging and validating their concerns. There ARE adverse side effects to vaccinations.

durandal

1/4/20 3:31pm

Who is saying “vaccine are safe, no risks”?

SJS

1/4/20 3:32pm

I think the point he's making is to acknowledge their concerns with some

777

1/4/20 3:46pm

Exactly.

durandal

1/4/20 3:50pm

Hopefully nobody. But that is often the perception people who are opposed to vaccines have.

durandal

1/4/20 3:49pm

True, however it is very clear at this point autism is not one of those risks

mobius

1/4/20 3:34pm

There's a LOT we still don't know about autism.

DirtyWater

1/4/20 3:42pm

True. But I think if you come out swinging that bat, the discussion will be over pretty shortly.

durandal

Let me use an analogy here:

jdub

1/4/20 3:45pm

It's a tough issue because it involves individual freedom vs. greater good

DirtyWater

1/4/20 3:33pm

It’s not individual freedom or “choosing for themselves” when it’s the baby/kid

cougfanz

1/4/20 3:36pm

Throw parental rights on the pile of issues. It's a tough problem for sure.
