      I mean, the federal government has made this argument before, so I can see why they make these assertions

      Source:

      The government said my relative didn’t qualify for benefits because they had been cured.

      They had died…

    No matter how you approach it, this person is an enemy of humanity. The nicest thing we could do for them is commit them to an asylum

    “The book explains the difference between the self-resolving childhood diseases, like measles, chicken pox and mumps, which do not need intervention, and the non-self-resolving infectious diseases, like polio, tuberculosis and tetanus, which do need holistic intervention to make them go away.”

    Holy shit! We could beat polio like we did with smallpox. But no, these idiots are willing to destroy children’s lives and hold back our species for internet fame. They’re no better than the racists who would have us all become as inbred as the fucking Hapsburgs.

    Ya know, I would love to start a campaign to smear these people by making a fake website with fake statistics that show that not being vaccinated causes totally untrue things to try and get antivaxxers to change their ways. Don’t got the money, but man would it be funny to watch.

    Tell them wildly false things like not getting vaccinated turning you gay if you go too long without a shot, or how whatever foreign adversary they think is a threat is creating a new weapon that will affect only people who don’t have all the major vaccines running through their body. Fight misinformation with misinformation since clearly these people have such aerodynamic heads that facts and logic fly right over them.
