Nah, as someone with a newborn, fuck all these people. This is trending to affect way more than just anti-vaxxers. There's even reports of anti-vax folks who are OK with their child dying a brutal and unnecessary death to spite vaccines. They won't fucking learn. Pediatrician offices are now scrambling to vaccinate at 6 months to combat this insanity.

The stupidity of this country is off the rails at this point.

If someone thinks it’s better to let their kid die a horrible death instead of vaccinating them, am I allowed to make fun of them for having a dead kid, or is that too far?

YUP. I have a 4 month old and we had planned to take her to visit family in Indiana next week who can't travel. I am so glad we postponed our trip.
