For sure instead of having your child scarred for life from a vaccine like the picture shows, a mild case of death is preferable.

Stay safe out there, vaccines contain stuff with long words that sound dangerous. There are also many rumors that vaccines can cause all sorts of weird things you wouldn't believe.

In case you wonder, this is sarcasm.

The author here makes it sound like contracting mumps and/or encephalitis is a "choice." But what they leave out, an important detail.... like how about a child's natural immunity?!? Besides, you don't want an injection to cause autism or worse, a peanut allergy that deprives your young child from the joys of peanut butter jelly sandwiches for the rest of their life.

Realistically, aren't we all a little tired of big pharma shoving these hard-to-pronounce ingredients and microchips into our God-given flesh?! So I challenge you, to do the research and truly decipher the right choice for your young children. It's critically important; vaccine injuries can happen. Just look at what happened in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table.

My coworker's cousin got a vaccine once and later they dropped their cell phone and cracked the screen. Coincidence, or proof of the evils of vaccination?

I have a vax scar that looks exactly like this. It's not the MMR as this tweet claims; I had that one too and there is no scar. This was a smallpox vax, which do commonly leave a mark, and I got it when I was five. I don't remember, but I've been told I was sick for a week.

Clearly, I recovered. Maybe that colors my view on this issue, I dunno.

But to truly understand the position of the individual that tweeted this, go look up some pics of actual smallpox cases, and then visit Wikipedia to learn about how many die right off the bat (some with horrible variations like hemorrhagic smallpox) and how many others survive, many with only massive scarring, but others with lasting internal damage and little-understood post-viral syndromes.

And then, now that you have a better idea of what smallpox is, reflect on how these anti-vaxxers would literally rather have smallpox, and see their kids have smallpox, than brave a preventative vaccine that has worked well for over two hundred years in one form or another.

I will never understand that.

Mild cases of death???

The weirdest thing about this whole antivaxx movement is that it has spread to Europe too. Greece has conscription, so 90%+ of greek males have served in the greek military. And almost all of them got vaccinated with a trillion vaccines, including ones against gozzila(you can never be too safe). And thats on top of whatever vaccines babies usually receive.

Noone complained about it. There was some antivaxx movement before but with covid, everyone went crazy with the vaccines. Suddenly vaccines were evil, noone knew what they had in them, it's a global conspiracy. Everyone became a vaccine expert.

America needs to stop exporting their brain rot, we already have enough on our own.

The South African conspiracy crowd is crazy fucking stupid. It ranges from "Pokémon Go is from the devil" to "Apartheid wasn't that bad, actually".

They eat up the American conspiracies too. Why the fuck is 52 year old Margriet from Roodepoort in a QAnon Telegram group chat? Fuck knows

I had mumps when I was 27. Somehow I was too early for the UK vaccine, but too late for the US vaccine. When I had it, my neck swelled up so I had no chin. I remember being in agony, walking downstairs in the morning to limp around, then going upstairs to the toilet. When I got up there I would see myself in the mirror and say "ribbit" and laugh at my neck. Which itself caused agony.

All because a fellow student from South Africa hadn't been vaccinated, caught it, and spread it to me.

I haven't since impregnated a girl, so I guess I got that going for me.

Antivaxers are an absolute scourge on society.

So I love the sentiment, but this is not a mumps vaccine scar. This is either from the smallpox or TB (BCG) vaccines. Important to get it right or your local anti-vax types will seize the error and use it like a cudgel.

Adding a bit of context here, prof Tim Noakes is swell known prof in South Africa, so it is a funny handle in two ways, I guess

You can never tell with some people if there joking or serious

My dad had a huge TB vaccine scar on his arm from when he got it in the 40s or 50s. Guess what would have been worse? Dying of TB.

Give us freedom to die from a preventable death or give us death!

Governments need to create “weird shit” agency’s. We need people being visited by men in black, weird encounters in the middle of nowhere, scare some lake fishermen, start up number stations again, set off a bomb in the middle of the Black Forest…

Since this stuff dropped out of mainstream media I think it’s why the nutters have moved on to vaccines and big pharma. We need to feed these people less harmful tripe.

sweet release of death ... ah shit nvm

Just a little bit of death. You'll be fine by breakfast tomorrow!

You know, it's actually not painful obviously, sadly.
