Deep Thought
Mar 7, 2005
At the risk of going off on a tangent I'd like to say that pro-vaxxers sicken me. Always acting high and mighty and coming down on non-vaxxers as though they're guests on a Jerry Springer show whose tagline is 'are scum bringing down the decorum of health in this country?', yet their commitment to vaccination is always trivial. How many people who are pro-vaccination retake vaccines they've already had to boost their immunity to superimmune levels? How often do they scout ebay for vaccines from the developing world? Fact: I have superimmunity against 119 viruses and umpteen diseases, most of which are exotic. Do I get a cookie? Do I get some say in the matter? Because if I do then allow me to go on the record as a real vaccine head with you, the pro-vaxxer, an occasional juicer in comparison. Yet I don't complain that you don't have the same vaccinations as I do because I respect your personal choice not to have superimmunity, despite the danger your laxity poses to my descendants.

Here's an anecdote about pro-vaxxers that basically explains their whole attitude: There once was a guy whose son had red marks all over his body. Parents in this guy's community tutted and glared at him in the street for not giving his child the measles vaccine, and they would mutter that his son is a virus incubator. It got so bad, the guy broke down and weeped while these pro-vaxxers said things like, "good, you should cry, vaccines are serious business, you should go to jail". The guy then explains that his boy doesn't even have chicken-pox, let alone measles, because he's completely virus immune. Those red marks were needle marks from 151 separate vaccinations taken on the same day guaranteeing him a healthy future. If the boy had actually had chicken-pox, they might have been in the right, but the truth was that he was the biggest vaxxer out of everyone yet didn't feel he had to show it.
