Why We Didn’t Vaccinate Our Child | Night of the Living Dad
We’re not ashamed to say that there are many vaccines we haven’t given our child. Here’s why… Pertussis, also known as “whooping cough”, is a bacterial disease that can permanently injure or kill a child. Despite the pertussis epidemic currently sweeping California, we didn’t vaccinate our son …

+1000 on this surprising homily!
Given these circumstances, I wouldn't vaccinate my child either.
so if im reading this right, that dad actively wants to kill his kid
gj fighting overpopulation
I think you did not read it. Or you are joking, I can't tell anymore, I hate the internet
I think you're talking to +Hjalti Leifsson, right +Toby Gibbis?
You're not reading it right, +Hjalti Leifsson. Â It is actually a hilarious takedown of vax-deniers!
Yes sorry, I am talking to that dude
Loved the inclusion of Andromeda Strain.

So this is satire? I can't read it if it isn't because my blood is boiling about the current state of thing regarding vaccines.
Yes, this is very clever and amusing satire.
I understand not vaccinating against the Calculus, but it is still prudent to consider a vaccine against Numerology
+100 on that Cade, for making me choke on my tea!
Isn't Algebra more widespread, and potentially more lethal than Calculus?
i think the more important question is how are we preventing our children from overdosing on hydric acid????
I actually thought calculus was one of a series of vaccines against the kind of ignorance that causes people to become antivaxxers, not a virus in itself.
calculus is in the class of symbiont adjuvant conceptual viruses – it can propagate itself in the brain, attach itself to other memes and modify their virality, and act against the effects of other memes – very potent stuff! Hard to get rid of it once you're infected. 🙂 totally viral I assure you +Jonathan Landrum !
I think I had Andromeda Strain once. Â or maybe a really bad hangover, it was hard to tell.Â
+Eric Freitas I get reptilian strain on a monthly basis
I think +Hjalti Leifsson hit the core of the issue. I almost died once to dihydrogen monoxide (hydric acid). It can be scary stuff.

Chloroform and carbon monoxide simbiosis can be life threatening also
Pertussis is a viral disease.
This is a ridiculous example of the idiocy infecting the US and a leading cause of why the rest of the world think to US is full of crackpots who don't understand science or medicine!
+Michael o'donnell feeding the masses with dead viruses being the exact cause of all sickness. Science is not an exact science
The Russian government is insane also
It is certainly better than ignorance and children dying of preventable diseases.
+Michael o'donnell agreeable but I think science should be ran by people that are not insane
According to the CDC, pertussis is bacterial.
http://www.cdc.gov/pertussis/index.html
+Cameron Harris ok.
+Michael Dogstar and who is insane?
+Michael o'donnell the Australian psychiatric phenomena
+Michael Dogstar what is that?
+Michael o'donnell do yerr own fricken research bro
poor Michael thinks that his indoctrination in nursing school makes him an authority in equal to God. Fancy being so egotistical to devalue human sovereignty to choose for themselves.
+David Hansford WOT?
+David Hansford you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about you nutjob
+Michael o'donnell I think you should read the blog post first.  You will get a smile out of it. Â
Suddenly, the confirmation bias olympics sprang into action!
+David Hansford hahaha god!
That never has been?
The god that apparently created the world from nothing?
Based on biblical teachings.
When science say the universe came from nothing.
Based on observation and measurement.
The global flood, and repopulating the entire planet from 1 extended family and a pair of each animal.
From the bible.
Science shows this is impossible due to the diversity of human populations on isolated continents with diverse DNA and diverse populations of animals that could not have made the trip to the "ark".
The bible is fictional.
Science shows
People are not vaccine, prozac, tylenol, Obamacare, etc… DEFICIENT. People are mineral and vitamin deficient.
If you don't take care of your nutrition you will need vaccines and take the risk of them backfiring at you, living you with an irreversible damage.
A healthy body will fight and ride through almost any disease.
+Leo Garcia and you come to this through your extensive knowledge of infectious diseases, epidemiology and human biology?
Or some whacko "natural" website that is promoting vitamin supplements and other quack nutritional advice.
A normal diet supplies all the bodies nutritional needs and you have snake oil to sell!
+Leo Garcia lol, good joke.
I come to this from South America, living three blocks away from a river that was the neighborhood trash dump; living diagonal to a meat shop where cows carcasses were brought the night before so the meat wont spoil, where people would buy meat amid flies and dogs that came in and out, yet as a child never became infected, was never vaccinated against anything.
I come to you from a family known for longevity, whose grandmother is 96 and never had a vaccine in her life.
You north americans are way to dependent on your big brother. North americans think big pharma and big govt will deliver you from evil. Yet they are your adversary.
You have neglected every single responsibility and delegated your rights to the state… for your rights are attached to responsibilities. From education all the way to welfare and medicine. Big govt has you and it will trample over your children and anything of value.
Wait… what was that…? I just heard Obamacare will cost the tax payer $50,000 a year…? Whoaaa! The writing is on the wall!
But there is time. Gather with like minded people, form new communities, claim back those responsibilities, educate your children, honor your parents in old age, dont force your neighbor to contribute to your welfare, become more self sufficient…
If you dont, the state and all the agencies you've come to depend on will collapse rome style; and you will either become a looter or a casualty of your own negligence.
Peace on your house!
I pay for my health care in Australia about 1000 dollars.
All hospital treatment is covered for as long as I need it.
We in Australia know how to take care of the poor and sick in our community.
If you are unemployed you get the same health care as a worker like me, free.
Perhaps in Brasil you could learn something from us?

Good times here.
People want to believe they can manage their lives and nutrition in such a way that they can return to a disease free natural state. It's a myth. The same one that killed Steve Jobs. He believed he could cure himself of pancreatic cancer, so he postponed treatment for a treatable disease until it was untreatable. This would normally be a personal choice and none of my business, but refusing vaccines makes you a disease reservoir that endangers the rest of us. Damn selfish of you.
They want to live in some imaginary middle ages where everyone is eating lots of Fibre and pooing regularly and on one dies vomiting and shitting themselves to death, which is pretty much how people died in those days.
Fuckwits!
Sad but true. We all die of something, but most of us simply want to live as well as possible until that day. Eating well is part of it, but vaccines really do help.
+Bob Cloninger can you provide some clinical studies showing vaccines provide benefit?
Holy shit the crazy train arrived since I last looked at this thread
