    That’s like a girl I knew arguing about how effective her homeopathic medicine was.

    “Because of those med, my flu only lasted a week!”

    A flu is only supposed to last 5-7 days ffs.

      I never got chicken pox or the shot because we couldn’t prove if my mom had it or was vaccinated as a kid. They thought maybe I was immune, and as a teenager did some testing. I’m not immune.

      I’m soon to be 36 and absolutely terrified of it. Im too old to be vaccinated against it now so I just have to do everything I can to avoid exposure but it can literally kill me at this age.

      I hate people who don’t vaccinate their kids. I didn’t have a choice because of missing medical records and risk to my mom. But to choose not to do so because of woo woo shit? Fuck you.

        Same. Literally everyone in my kindergarten class got it except me. I don’t think there even was a vaccine back then. At least the kids I spend time around these days have had their shots.

        I got chicken pox in my 30s, before a vaccine was available.

        It’s the only time in my life I considered becoming a pavement bollard by taking a dive from my 3rd floor apartment.

        The pain was so bad that I ran a shower without the cold tap on until I passed out…for 2 days. Yes, I got hyperthermia, and was severely dehydrated but it was the only way the pain would stop.

        Anti vaxxers are to be treated with contempt and mocked ceaselessly.

        Note: I think you can get the vaccine at any age. Check with a reputable doctor or your local health authority.

            There’s a lot of vaccines that get approved for one age group first, then they go through the process for a wider age range

      Yeah I don’t know what she is talking about. And is she proud of her kid not being able to read until he was almost nine? “But the other stuff 😏 In every way, and I mean EVERY WAY.”

      …w-what fuckin “other stuff? Is she claiming her kid is a great lay? What in the fuck is she talking about?
