In 2012, a proactive Australian anti-vaxxer named Stephanie Messenger self-published a children’s book called “Melanie’s Marvelous Measles.” With the book, Messenger endeavored to “educate children on the benefits of having measles and how you can heal from them naturally and successfully.” The book’s illustrated cover features a girl frolicking in a meadow with her stomach exposed, revealing a number of measles pocks all over her body. The whole thing is truly grotesque — so much so, that Amazon has put a disclaimer on the book’s description, noting that it is “provided by the publisher/author of this title and presents the subjective opinions of the publisher/author, which may not be substantiated.”


The book is made all the more relevant, now that a massive measles outbreak (due to the steadily growing vaccine “trutherism” movement) has infected more than 100 people in 15 states, including five babies at a Chicago daycare center.

So, the Internet is doing what the Internet does best: trolling the hell out of Messenger’s deeply flawed book through Amazon comments. Here are some of the best:

“Don’t overlook the lesser known Dr. Seuss books in this series – ‘Horton hears an air raid siren’, ‘Oh the places you’ll itch’, ‘How the Grinch caught Chlamydia’, ‘And to Think That I Contracted It on Mulberry Street’, ‘Skull Fracture Mayzie’, ‘Hop on your remaining foot’, ‘The 500 days in ICU of Bartholomew Cubbins’, and ‘If I Ran the Mortuary.’” –Nathaniel E.

1. Thankfully it is being trashed. It is a trash book. nt

2. Speaking of trash...

There's always some 'news' source that I'm made aware of on Facebook.

3. So this article is describing an incident where a child was injured by 1 or more vaccines...

....Something that many here in this country have experienced and find real, but are finding themselves being attacked by trying to share what they are experiencing. Their experience becomes illegitimate or "trash", those "anti-vaxxers". Kind of fucking annoying that these people's experiences are being discounted by those that immediately jump on this anti, anti-vaxxer crusade. There's a lot of people here at DU that are doing this and I'm surprised by the lack of empathy or consideration of the 'possibility' and how people, in general react to the 'possibility'.

Vaccines are very important and benefit most all of us..... but many have experienced this very same outcome and it's scary as a parent to be up against this possibility. Of course people are reacting the way they are and not getting vaccinated or altering schedules. You arrive at the docs office to get your child his/her 5 vaccines and cross your fingers that your child is not of the anomalies.

Has anyone ever checked out the VAERS Symptoms data? There are a lot of crazy vaccine adverse events we don't hear about.

Somewhere in between is the answer.

4. Somewhere in between IS where the answer lies...

and yes, people are damaged by vaccines, that's why there is a court that awards people damages. However, something like 14,000 people have been awarded damages from vaccinations compared to hundreds of millions of people that died from smallpox alone.

The truth may very well fall somewhere between the antivaxers and the anti antivaxers, but it's a lot closer to the anti antivaxers.

The problem is that there are so many 'news' sites that say whatever they want and if a story just happens to be consistent with what an antivaxer believes, they think it's a sign from God (or something).

There are some vaccine issues that need scrutinized because we have a whole bunch of folk who oppose everything that big pharma does, yet we support everything vaccine related? I think it's kind of a blind spot for us.

Yeah, the science is good, but big pharma is not good, they're evil. A little bit of suspicion of their motivations couldn't hurt.
