Holy shit I thought this was only about Covid. These absolute idiots are breaking herd immunity for the entire field of virus based diseases.
The anti-vaccine movement has been fighting their pro-disease fight for decades now
They should meet my friend named rabies
It would technically solve their problems. I'm all for it.
Rabies is the real litmus test to see if people really have the balls to be anti-vaxxers or not, lol.
That, or smallpox.
Polio has (re-)entered the chat.
hope you enjoy smallpox and diphteria
As long as it disproportionately affects red states, I’m all for it. Let’s go. Cull these fucking mouth breathers.
Problem is, a good chunk of these mouth breathers were vaccinated as kids, and their innocent, unknowing children get to reap the costs.
Classic Republican mentality. Pull up the ladder you just ascended.
I get the anger but keep in mind they do have children.
And there's still a large amount of not-republicans in those states
Remember how many German anti-vaxxer emmigrated to Columbia (or Paraguay?) where they had to send their children to school and what happened first day they vaccinated them without asking the parents 😄😄😄😄
There were children in Hiroshima. What's your point?
Well thanks I was having a good day but now I get to think about that.
Ignoring how fucked up it is to take pleasure in people's deaths, let me remind you that there are some people, even in blue states, that cannot receive various vaccinations due to health risks and thus are entirely reliant on herd immunity.
Also, disproportionately doesn't mean "solely".
