If you can get vaccinated and choose not to, you are an asshole.
If you can vaccinate your children and choose not to, you are an asshole and a horrible parent.
If you are vaccinated and choose not to vaccinate your children, you are an asshole, horrible parent, and should be castrated.
Calm down, Deutschland
More like Uganda. Castration as punishment was Idi Amin’s thing.
It was also a Greco Roman thing, but the relevant bit here is the German based instance user advocating for forced sterilization.
The Romans castrated servants for subservience. The Nazis castrated to prevent reproduction. Amin castrated prisoners as punishment.
Greco-Roman usage was complex. They would use it as a political weapon to disinherit rivals and as a means of "ending their line" among other things, criminal punishment, weird sex shit, etc.
I think mutilating political opponents would still fall under reproductive prevention. The article states that blinding was the common form of punitive mutilation.
The important bit here is the eugenics angle. Which was a Nazi (and American...) thing.
Unless you think OP is more concerned with trying to eliminate political rivals instead of worrying about the gene pool? Possible, I suppose. Cut the MAGA off at the twig and berries.
Good point. I didn’t consider that they were implying removal of future parental rights. Semantics? I’m always down for some antics.
The fact that refusing to vaccinate a healthy child isn't grounds for having that child taken away by CPS makes me question the 'protection' part of CPS.
The anti-vaxxers have won. Congratulations on a stupid prize, and thanks for sharing.
I'm not sure if you read the article, but the person in question did get partially vaccinated, just never got the booster shot.
I don't believe that this is some sort of ideological-opposition-to-vaccinations thing.
I didn't, but I wasn't blaming the individual necessarily. But if we didn't have anti-vaxxers, this person probably wouldn't have measles right now. Cases are up in a lot of North America thanks to the efforts of anti-vaxxers.
Maybe. The article also said that while they didn't know for sure where the person had been exposed, they had traveled abroad recently.
Now I am wondering if I got all of mine.
I hope they enjoy their consolation prize, I just feel bad for all the people who can't get vaxxed but want to :(
Surprised it didn't happen sooner. West Virginia has the lowest MMR vaccination rate in the country.
Not sure where you're getting that. WV is one of the states with the strictest rules for parents to enroll their kids in school without their immunizations (and a recent attempt to loosen those rules was vetoed).
According to the cdc, they're actually doing pretty well. A few surprises are doing worse, notably Colorado and DC
I wish I didn't expect there to be "measles parties" where parents gather their kids alongside infected kids to get that natural immunity.

Alas, I do expect it.
