kungfuwaynewhoDear parents who have chosen not to vaccinate your children:
Thank you. No, really. Thank you for choosing to believe one single study, that has since been discredited and its author stripped of his medical license, over every other medical professional's opinion. Thank you for watching a segment on the Today Show and basing your decisions on that eight-minute stretch. Thank you for reading Jenny McCarthy's book and thinking, "Yeah, she's onto something."
Thank you for dragging your sick children out into public, as well. That's a vital part of this whole equation.
Thank you for all of that, because I probably have whooping cough. WHOOPING COUGH. A disease that was practically non-existent in this country because enough people were vaccinated against it, keeping those who weren't (me, as a baby, because I had a horrific reaction to the shot) safe through herd immunity. Thank you for destroying the entire concept of herd immunity. Thank you for making idiotic decisions that not only threaten the life of your own children, but also the lives of all the people your children come into contact with.

Sorry. Just had a coughing fit. At least this time I didn't run out of breath or start wheezing or get dizzy or vomit because of it.
Anyway, XOXO. Yeah.
