RE: John Oliver on Vaccines

in #vaccines7 years ago (edited)

I'm not a real fan of just posting a video someone else made and just adding a little text to it.

BUT for me this topic is just too important and I'll gladly resteem it.
Anti-Vaxxine movements are getting dangerously big in some areas and while I don't think most of those who are already anti-vaxx will be receptive to reason it might at least give someone who's uncertain if he should vaccinate his children a reason to do so.

There's a reason people were thankful for every kid that managed to grow old when there were no vaccinations and it's not just because the hygiene was worse or they didn't have as much food as kids today. For me refusing to get your kids or yourself a vaccination really is a luxury problem nowadays since you just don't see someone close to you getting paralyzed by polio.

What really saddens me is how a general anti-science movement got an advocate who is one of the most powerful men in the world right now and innocent people are going to suffer because of it.

Sort:  

I agree with you there. I find the whole anti vaxxer movement thoroughly repellent, especially since they expand so much energy and time trying to convert people to their delusions
