"Instead." Sane-wash harder, NYT, I dare you.
"I tried to ignore the traffic light, instead I got run over by a bus."

Rules:
1. Be civil

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

~~Instead~~ Therefore
Sounds like they successfully shielded them from vaccines. Just so happens getting diseases is the direct result of that.
I read that thinking, "what do you mean 'instead'? This is a direct consequence..
"Why would I give my kid a dead version of a disease?!"
So their immune system can handle the real thing Karen...
Antivaxxers never understood that we do run into this shit, and get infected by it.
With a vaccine we often just don't notice. Without one, kids die or face lifelong complications.
Either way, they still get that "natural immunity" later.
Not vaxxing your kids is like sending a 12 year old to play offensive tackle in the super bowl. Sure, the tough ones might live, but they're all getting injured. And even the ones who make it would have done better in their 20s with a decade of experience.
The vaccine is that experience and conditioning.
What’s silly too is the same people will do things like “chickenpox parties” and don’t see the irony of it.
Humanity can only evolve by allowing the families with low brain capacity to die out.
No evolution happens constantly no matter what.
Whether that results in beneficial or even noticable change is another thing, but it happens literally ever generation no matter what.
And while some aspects of IQ seem to be inheritable, it's not like most people assume.
The leopards be feastin’
Fucking idiots
But the parents are ok....because they were vaccinated.
All conspiracies but antivax struggle with the common question: if the conspiracy is true, why should you do what you are doing?
Antivax in this weird sense is adequate. If vaccines are engineered in order to shrink the population, you shouldn't give a shot to your kid.
Task failed successfully?
