(4,035 posts)He had an allergic reaction to his first vaccine, and consequently could not get all the vaccines the rest of us got. An un-vaccinated kid can make him sterile. An un-vaccinated kid increases the risk of children born with serious birth defects. The mumps can make grown men infertile, and German measles can seriously harm a fetus if the mother contracts it. And that is in addition to the number of kids that get serious complications because of scarlet fever, measles, chicken pox - all sorts of nasty consequences. An anti-vaxxer is saying that it is worse for a kid to be autistic than it is for that kid to die. And the kicker is that vaccines don't cause autism.
Idiots. No, let me edit that - selfish, unfeeling, un-caring, self-absorbed idiots.
