I was once at a wedding on an island so pretty much all guests traveled there and stayed in the same few buildings. A teenager ended up having chickenpox and it caused a shitload of problems. Yes, the kid weathered it fine but it's a lot more dangerous for adults and that meant quarantining anyone who showed any symptoms. Great fun.

I asked the mom why they didn't vaccinate and she said "Oh you always hear all them bad things about those vaccines, you know."

    i had covid last month and that was terrible, people are so still ignorant of covid. the razor blade sore throat is not a joke. and the previous vaccine barely touches the new variant. luckily i had the tdap recently too, but not the flu.

    Now that it's acetaminophen and circumcisions that cause autism, can we please go back to vaccinating people?

    Why are they quarantining? I thought the CDCs stance was that getting Measles now built character and was better than not getting it?

    But if it's god's will for them to die of measles, surely they should be respecting that? /s

    They are not allowed to attend school because they are not vaccinated? Wonderful! More than enough time to gain natural immunity by attending measle parties! /s
