Someone call CPS. This woman is clearly too dumb to raise kids.
It’s always sad when kids have to pay for their parent’s mistakes
“Tell me I did the right thing“ bitch I’d like to tell you something with my fucking fists your baby is dying and your dumbass wants somebody to comfort you by lying and saying that denying him basic medicine was the right thing to do you fucking stupid shit for brains bitch I hope your kids get taken away.
In the 1970s we didn’t have modern vaccines, and although the pertussis vaccine was safe, it wasn’t as reliable as the one we have now. Although I was vaccinated, the vaccine didn’t provide me with effective protection. This means I can pretty much tell you first hand what it can mean to be unvaccinated during an outbreak. What it can mean is a potentially fatal illness with long term implications for those who survive.
In the winter of 1978/79 I nearly died of pertussis, and was left with long-term damage that saw me back and forth to the hospital well into the 1980s. After three months of illness, I developed congested lungs which required a similar physiotherapy regime to cystic fibrosis, although I am eternally grateful that for me this only lasted another month. I was left with asthma and permanently reduced lung capacity, a lifelong vulnerability to respiratory infections, and a perpetual fear of getting that sick again. It may also be an underlying reason for the chronic illness I live with now. Pertussis is not just a cough – it’s potentially fatal, and today we can largely mitigate the risk with a safe and effective vaccine. Anyone who would choose not to do something that would avoid that happening to their child needs to seriously reconsider their life choices.
People who are anti-vax are always like “Oh I want my kid to develop natural immunity blah-blah, what did they do before vaccines blah, blah” should talk to the nurse how gave my son’s first vaccines.
She was relieved that I was very much in favor of it happening and told me this:
She worked under an older pediatrician when she first became a nurse. He was so thrilled with vaccines. Why? Because he spent the greater part of his career hopelessly watching babies and young children die. He recounted to her staying up long nights countless times, completely helpless to do anything but watch these young lives end and often horribly.
