Anti-vaxx, USA, The Guardian

Anti-vaxx, facebook, USA

To read this has been a disgusting breakfast experience.
All in all it is a matter of education, but you cannot change this type of
persons who feel justified by half-knowledge to cause harm to children.
Though it was said to forgive those who do not know what they are doing-
they must know that they act wrongly, i do not forgive.

In my actual country of residence we find the very same people, 
teachers, people out of the semi-esoteric scene, people who like to be against something 
maybe because they do not know for what else to stand, often finding themselves highly intelligent,
their opinions based on misinformation, political mistrust, half-digested facts.

I found arguments most difficult. They start now to behave like religious fundamentalists.
In Bavaria for example families had measles-parties, a child with measles used to infect
other children.

Measles can kill and they can cripple for life.
They are no more a harmless infection than tuberculosis  or HIV are.

I spent 5 years in Uganda during civil wars, and i saw countless children die from measles.

To be that much fighting against vaccination endangering all the others' children
is something which can only happen in richer countries, in countries where the majority of
children are vaccinated and the corresponding diseases are not so obviously killing
and maiming.

All i ask is to consider this and to see what happens in poor countries.
I wish sometimes that i had taken videos, but then, I am not a vulture.
