You know I'm all about that vax, 'bout that vax, no measles

I'm going to try to keep my thoughts brief here and keep from ranting. It goes like this: Vaccinate Yo Kids!

1) Vaccines do not cause autism. The one made up "study" that suggest a link was proven fraudulent. But let's pretend for a second that they did. My son is on the autism spectrum, and he's a smart, happy, funny, interesting person with just as much value as every other person on the planet. The conclusion that you would rather risk having your child DIE from a preventable disease rather than risk autism is frankly offensive to me. 

- My husband, my brother in law and my brother are all doctors (well, my husband graduates from medical school in May so technically he doesn't count yet). They are all intelligent and morally good people. The accusations that the medical community is all in on some conspiracy to make money for big pharma is completely crazy. I can't wrap my brain around that. Every single medical researcher and healthcare provider is so morally corrupt they want to harm babies?! Just for the moneybags? 

- This is my biggest beef with the anti-vax line of thinking: If you can't trust your pediatrician to make decisions about vaccinations, why trust them with anything? Why trust them to treat strep throat or pneumonia? Why even take your child to a man who is so corrupted by his greed that he wants to hurt your child with chemicals? I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to be a doctor and have a non-vaxing parent bring in a child with the measles and expect you to heal them. Because suddenly now they trust modern medicine? And your advice? Eh?

From here on out, let's just let the memes do the talkin.

In conclusion... Well, I can't write a conclusion because I am still laughing at "we just rub oil on the plague rot." 

(Please don't post any mean comments telling me I should "do my research". I'll jump through my computer and chase you with a syringe full of the flu vaccine!)
