    I’m provaccine but not getting the vaccine doesn’t automatically mean your kid will die. That sort of stuff helps feed vaccine deniers.

      Right now with increasing amount of people not vaccinating their children we see outbreaks of diseases that we have not seen in a very long time. So yeah, not vaccinating your kid kinda means your kid will die or at least will be at much higher risk of premature and completely avoidable death

      It’s all about risk. Smoking doesn’t automatically mean you’ll get lung cancer, but it greatly increases your risk. Same goes for refusing any vaccine that could be potentially life saving to a child, it greatly increases their risk of death.

      But sorry a meme wasn’t extremely precise with its verbiage lol

      Where do you draw the line in terms of individual rights VS the safety of the entire society?
