"You can't fix stupid!"

[OldDude]

I literally have yet to come up with any description other than my title.

Yes, because we all know antibiotics cure measles.?

Individual rights!!

We do seem to be moving backward. I hope a bunch of kids don't have to die or have extreme complications for this to change.

Wow, I'm so glad that a longtime anti-vaxxer is on the state's committee for public health ?. Relax kids, you'll be happy to know your gubment isn't infringing on your rights when you're sick in bed and covered in spots (at best) for weeks!

"...antibiotics and that kind of stuff." ???

[Amethya]

God why make my job harder why?

I agree, how many have to die before they take this stuff seriously. They aren't realizing how stupid this makes them sound.

Have you seen this yet? I love it!

Why would they die, it's not like this is a third world country, I mean c'mon, we have antibiotics in the good ol' US of A.

Right? Just can't get through to them that Big Pharma makes more money off people who don't vaccinate!

Profit from flu shot subsidized by the local dept of health

vs

profit from IV fluids, pressors, sedatives for ECMO or vents, antibiotics for concurrent infection, electrolyte replacement....

YESSSSSS!!!

I have a co-worker who has not vaccinated her kids because she "does not like the idea of introducing foreign substances." However, she is constantly at the pediatrician demanding antibiotics. Plus, she is always on the bandwagon of whatever the latest "homeopathic" remedy may be.............

Unfortunately, in school nursing "you can't fix stupid AND you can't even sedate it either."
