Hi guys! Today I thought I would do something different.... Something outside my comfort zone for writing. I just started looking at vaccine conversations after choosing to take a break and blind myself to it for months; and it all looked ridiculous. So my creativity came through with a silly, "Dr Seuss" style poem about it!

*Normal text is pro vaccine
*Italic text is anti vaccine
*Italic and bold text is narration

Hope you enjoy!

Ballad of a Mad Hatter

Thousands of studies show they're safe and they work,
except for that one from the fraud doctor jerk.

Which doctor would that be, do you remember his name?
Do you have any way to back up that claim?

No. I do not, I just know he's a fraud,
I'll stick with the doctors who wanna play God.

But he was never called "fraud", by any official,
all he did wrong was blow on his whistle.

Where'd you learn that? It must be fake news,
I wouldn't be gullible, if I were in your shoes.

When this nonsense begins, it is a lost cause.
You provide credible proof, but it's just blah, blah, blahs.

Nothing you say, or show, will matter,
Because to them, at that point, you are the Mad Hatter!

Vaccines are safe and they work, they work because SCIENCE.
Get your kids up to date, we all need your compliance!

What science is this? May I please see?
Why do you all need to depend upon me?

The science is everywhere, that's what I'm told.
You stupid antivaxxers are getting old.

We all need you for herd immunity, dimwit,
everyone needs to, for those who can't get it!

But I've looked for that science, even asked those who create,
I've yet to see anything that can corroborate.

The science shows danger, including demise,
but they choose to omit and antithesize.

After their studies describe much risk,
"The benefits outweigh that" is what they insist.

That should be our choice, with all info in hand,
and as for herd immunity...you should understand...

The ones who can't get shots, can't even be near,
If you've recently shot, you must stay clear!

So how does that help if the herd has their shots?
It just means more danger for those who cannot.

Well that doctor's a fraud, vaccines don't cause autism.
That's it! I've had enough of your leftism!

Yes, this is how these conversations can go...
Repeat what you're told, that's all most people know.

They resort to that doctor for lack of an answer,
they stray way off topic, and yet, I'm the Mad Hatter!

You can't believe what you read on the internet,
talk to your doctor, who will tell you don't fret!

So there's vast information and knowledge online,
yet you choose to ignore it, 'cause someone says that it's fine?

Even though all schools use that as a resource,
you believe that it shouldn't be a recourse?

How insulting is that, to assume I don't know,
the difference between real and fake info.

Should I not go read up on the World Health website?
The CDC and manufacturers just can't be right.

Peer reviewed studies are just mirrors and smoke,
because they're all on the internet, must be a joke!

Those are my sources, if you got the hint,
the big difference is, that I read the fine print.

Well that doctor's a fraud, vaccines don't cause autism.
That's it! I've had enough of your leftism!

This must be a defense to keep their bubble intact,
some people won't see it, even when they're shown every fact!

They pretend to not hear an acceptable factor,
after all, to them, I'm just the Mad Hatter.

Our kids cannot play anymore, oh no,
we don't want ours to catch polio!

So you forced the disease into your little ones,
yet you're scared of mine, who has had none?

It's one in a million for a bad reaction from them,
and it's well worth that risk for that life-saving gem!

One in a million? Is that a joke of some sort?
Could you explain why there's a special vaccine injury court?

If bad reactions were such a rarity,
then this, my friend, would not need clarity.

This court is meant only for serious vaccine reactions,
for people to get financial compensation and take action.

Billions of dollars are paid out each year through thousands of cases,
and that's only the handful that don't get a "NO" in their faces.

They get so many, they can't see them all,
to make sure that their pay-outs don't cause them to fall.

They even needed a cap on the total of each pay,
so as not to go under, like they nearly did, twice, back in the day.

Everyone needs to have their shots,
to make sure we eradicate things like chicken pox!

You don't even know if they made you immune,
but you still want to push them like a hired goon?

It's all about vaccine status, when it should be immunity,
doctors don't check that they've worked, 'cause they have their impunity.

Why does the chickenpox scare you guys?
Only post-varicella did we watch the fear rise.

If it only got deadly after it's shot,
then shouldn't the vaccine be on the chopping block?

Also, if vaccines were actually going to eradicate,
they would have done so already, so how can you vindicate?

Mostly this topic resorts to slander,
oh how I wish it could just be a banter.

Now sometimes, just sometimes, they're swayed by this chatter,
and then they come over to join the Mad Hatter!

I may be mad, but a fool is not true,
so with that, my friends, I bid you adieu!
