ETA: If anyone I know posts that crap on Facebook, they are going to get an earful from me. That's bullshit right there.

It's from natural news. I just sent them a nasty email which took about 4 tries as they have those annoying ineligible codes you have to type in before it's accepted (I wonder why) saying how it's disgusting, offensive and I will do anything I can to see that it's removed from the internet.

(8,267 posts)I have a niece who is an anti-vaxxer. She is also very religious, so when I asked for research that substantiates the purported dangers of vaccinations, she sent me a website posted by a religious woman with no credentials. Neither of her sons is vaccinated, and she is expecting a third child.
I am at a loss... what is happening to our species?!?

(53,661 posts)They tell people that the vaxx carries cancer, drugs that cause infertility, and even cause people to give birth to chimeras because of animal DNA in it and the always faithful, the microchip or mark of he beast.
I mean, FFS. folks! These folks must have learned nothing in public school about this sort of thing. Good golly.
One question that some medical person might be answer me, as I don't know why this is... And I wonder if it affects the anti-vaxx folks on an emotional level...
When at the doctors office they give the kids the shots, they scream bloody murder. It's like they're being tortured. The flu shot, etc. that one gets is in a needle that is absolutely pain free. It feel like something has touched the skin, not entered it.
I even asked the doctor if I really got a shot or not. Are the kids getting the old horse needles like we used to get back in the old days?
I didn't holler about that, either when I was kid getting shots. The main reason was that my doctor, who was real old school, would wipe my arm for a long time and talk to me to keep my mind off of the shot. I didn't feel it.
Now one time, i did back up in my twenties from getting a tetanus shot. Lord, the thing looked nearly a foot long and he almost had to chance me around the room until he gave me this look. You know, *the look* and I put my big girl pants back on and took the shot without any further cajoling.
Are the kids being given the big needles? My kid didn't cry when getting shots, either. Although the kid is pretty damn stoic.
Is there anything that makes any sense about this fear?
BTW, that advertisement is horrible. It's like it normalizes rape and feeds on the worst fears.
Gottago.

If you read my reply to Warren you'll see another horrid one I found from natural news and sent them a nasty email telling them I'll do anything I can to see that's it's removed from the internet, as should the one you posted.
If you find out, please let me know.
I'm thinking I should send them to major news outlets...anything to give them bad press.
Both of those are indefensible.

(5,909 posts)I despise them too and agree...the tactics they use are similar to pro-life groups.
