Sounds like they successfully shielded them from vaccines. Just so happens getting diseases is the direct result of that.

I read that thinking, “what do you mean ‘instead’? This is a direct consequence..



“Instead.” Sane-wash harder, NYT, I dare you.

“I tried to ignore the traffic light, instead I got run over by a bus.”

Instead Therefore


We’ll see how much of the non-legacy doesn’t if/when it becomes a problem for the Epstein class.



Exactly. It should be worded that getting preventable diseases like measles when you “shield” yourself or others from the proven preventative care is precisely the expected outcome.



“Why would I give my kid a dead version of a disease?!”

So their immune system can handle the real thing Karen…

Antivaxxers never understood that we do run into this shit, and get infected by it.

With a vaccine we often just don’t notice. Without one, kids die or face lifelong complications.

Either way, they still get that “natural immunity” later.

Not vaxxing your kids is like sending a 12 year old to play offensive tackle in the super bowl. Sure, the tough ones might live, but they’re all getting injured. And even the ones who make it would have done better in their 20s with a decade of experience.

The vaccine is that experience and conditioning.

What’s silly too is the same people will do things like “chickenpox parties” and don’t see the irony of it.



But the parents are ok….because they were vaccinated.


Task failed successfully?


The leopards be feastin’

Fucking idiots


Actually should note that Vaccinated children got measles too. Those dumbass Anti-vaxxers seem to think a vaccination in an individual confers full cover.


May nurgle bless all his followers with what they deserve.


All conspiracies but antivax struggle with the common question: if the conspiracy is true, why should you do what you are doing?

Antivax in this weird sense is adequate. If vaccines are engineered in order to shrink the population, you shouldn’t give a shot to your kid.

But they also think the viruses are engineered to shrink the population, so they should be masking up, but they refuse to, so there’s nothing adequate about it

My favorite episode with them happened in Russia. There was an internet community “Leave us alone” that was simultaneously pro-Putin and opposed COVID restrictions. Then, in February 2022 they supported the war in Ukraine. But when the draft process started, the community got renamed to only include the leader name (Mashkova). Naturally, they were supporting the draft.
