Hey there US friends! If you’re voting using these machines (Hart eSlate) or similar ones right now or in the near future, make sure that the machine has NOT changed your ballot before casting it, ‘k? It’s apparently an already known problem, and has been for years, but has never been fixed.

Not satisfied with harming their own children, they want to make sure their views harm others.

I guess the protesters are hoping that if they can keep others as uneducated and ill informed about vaccines as they are maybe their ranks will increase.

Humans have short ass memories. I really think that is what the problem is here. Because kids haven’t been dying in droves because we have preventive medicine, people think these medicines are unnecessary and actually a burden on their lives. But now that kids in the Western nations have started catching and dying from these wholly preventable childhood diseases I am wondering what will occur first – some large group of children catching and dying from these diseases or the mutation of a virus that we believed had disappeared decades ago. 

I just made this shirt as a birthday gift for a friend who had rubella as a child:

SO, yeah, fuck these parents in particular.

You’d think recent outbreaks killing kids would make more of an impact… but then no you wouldn’t in this day and age.

No, because these people would rather have dead kids than disabled ones. Let’s be blunt.
