So
the current Internet meme running amok among the Anti-Vaxx crew is
something along the lines of “It ain't my fault that folks are
getting sick, it is all of the disease carrying illegal aliens that
Obama has let across the borders.” The “logic” behind this
thought process is that if 1000s of illegal aliens hadn't moved into
the country, then all of the nasty diseases that had been eradicated
decades ago wouldn't be seeing a resurgence.
Now,
just for the sake of argument, let us assume that the basis of their
argument is true. Let's pretend that the current Epidemic of Measles
and Whooping Cough are the direct result of Obama's evil master plan
to destroy the US of A by infecting all its citizens with nasty
diseases so that they are to weak to resist when his evil Muslim
Communist minions take over the country.
So,
if this is true. If our beloved country is being ravaged by
everything from Measles to Lycanthropy, how does it make sense to
keep your children from being vaccinated? If we really are under
some sort of biological attack, how does it make any sense to expose
your children to possible illness and even death? Even if every
single one of the infected people were rounded up tomorrow, the
damage is already done so shouldn't every caring parent want to
protect their children?
The
pattern of this particular meme fits perfectly with pretty much every
single Anti-Vaxx argument. The whole gist of their mentality is “It
is not my job to take responsibility for my actions. Everyone else
has to take responsibility instead.” Their attitude is that they
should be allowed to do whatever they want and that others just have
to deal with it. Don't believe me? Look at some of their arguments.
1.
I have the right to not have my children vaccinated because the only
people affected by it is my children.
2.
If other people cannot be vaccinated because of health or medical
reasons, then they should stay home.
3.
Other people should be vaccinated so that they are protected from my
unvaccinated children.
Needless
to say, there are more arguments used by Anti-Vaxxers, but they
pretty much all sound the same. My personal favorite is number 2
since Anti-Vaxxers would be honked off if someone suggested that
they should keep their diseased little brats at home to keep Them
from making other people sick.
Vaccinations
save lives. This is a fact. There is no evidence that vaccines are
dangerous. Also a fact. (Sorry but one study done by a doctor long
since discredited does not eliminate the proof of literally 1000s of
studies done since then to prove him wrong.) This Ludicrous idea
that it is somehow better to allow your child to be infected by
diseases such as Measles that can cause horrible scarring, serious
complications and even death than to get them vaccinated is moronic.
Sadly,
when the pandemics come the Anti-Vaxxers will still not admit that it
is their fault. As their kids get sick and die, they will sue the
government or which ever fast food joint they were in when their kid
was infected. In no way shape or form will they accept the
responsibility for the pain and suffering they will cause. Course,
like I have said before, the Anti-Vaxx movement is a self correcting
sort of stupid. As more and more people become ill, everyone who is
a member will eventually die off from a disease that was considered
eliminated decades ago. My only regret is that so many innocent
people will have to suffer along with them till the problem is
solved.
