The internet delivered."},"content":{"rendered":"

Earlier this year, there was a measles outbreak that started in Washington and has made its way to Oregon, and anti-vaxxers are the sole cause of this retro death threat.<\/p>\n

\n

Unsurprisingly, the same people who peddled anti-science myths about vaccines causing autism, have also bolstered the idea that vaccines are a personal choice and not a public health responsibility.<\/p>\n

However, now that consequences of these choices have spread, anti-vaxx parents are storming their brains for ways to protect their children (this should be the updated dictionary definition of cognitive dissonance).<\/p>\n

One anti-vaxx mom\u2019s post went viral after she asked members of the private Facebook group \u201cVaccine Education Network: Natural Health Anti-Vaxx Community\u201d how to protect her child from measles.<\/p>\n

\n

The post was quickly screenshotted and spread on Twitter, where people had a myriad of strong-worded responses to the mom.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

A lot of people suggested she employ thoughts and prayers since she’s already decided to forgo science.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Others suggested the best safety precaution was to give her daughter to smarter parents, who wouldn\u2019t create a public health crisis.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Other parents didn\u2019t mince words about how irresponsible and dangerous anti-vaxxers are.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

A woman with autism chimed in to point out how absurd it is to put people at danger of death because of stigma against ASD.<\/p>\n

\n

Hopefully, this mom changes her values in time to save her child and protect the other children in contact with her daughter. Otherwise, she\u2019s punishing her child for her own ignorance.<\/p>\n
