Fortunately we passed mandatory measles vaccination before everyone went dumb during COVID in Germany. But now some moronic mothers even forge vaccination certificates to get around πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

The "parents know best" movement as to die parenting is hard but making kids is easy AF that why dumb people do it all the time and dumb people make dumb parents

Yes, parents shouldn't be allowed to make bad choices for their children, which have irreversible consequences. It's the same thing with moronic parents refusing antibiotics for their children in the hospital for weeks when they are indicated. But of course they know it better than someone who has learned this profession for 11 years and has many years of professional experience.

I'm for forced vaccination of all recommended Vaccinations for Children until they are old enough to decide for themselves. It's about the right to an open, healthy future

I've made my peace years ago with the fact that this problem is going to take care of itself.

Except it's not the fully immunised parents that are going to die out, it's their children.

Enough dead kids and the morons will learn their lesson while the most unteachable idiots will see their bloodline get thinned out. I'm old enough to remember the stories of my great-grandparents and what diphtheria has left them of their 10 children.

My sister didn't vaccinate her daughter and the whole family is not able to convince her otherwise :(

That's sad. What was the reason?

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Lack of critical thinking skills.

Yes basically, she exaggerates how often the side effects happen compared to how often the complications happen and says it's to dangerous to give a vaccine. All while she her self is vaccinated against measles ...

They also went unvaccinated through COVID with the worst symptoms of all the family (everyone else vaccinated) but still claiming that this is the right decision.

Weird. I mean it's all a cost benefit analysis. On the cost side you have a few common but mild side effects and a very small number of more severe but still harmless side effects.

On the benefit side you have not having a child to visit in the cemetery.

To me that wasn't hard.

It's not the harmless side effects they fear, it's (overblown) serious side effects that they fear. There is the Guillain BarrΓ© syndrome that is real but very rare, as well as a lot of imagined serious side effects like death.
