f&#@ing measles.

[20thirteen]

So... for all of you who don't know, I live in IL.  REALLY REALLY CLOSE to the new measles outbreak.  Like, two towns over.  I travel to Palatine a lot because my mom lives there and we do stuff around her neighborhood sometimes.  And yesterday, I walked into my bosses office shaking from rage to the point of crying.  KinderCare in Palatine was hit. 5 infants got measles.  While none of the staff at that center came to the one DD attends, I'm still livid.  What is wrong with these people?!  "Vaccines cause autism because my Google U degree says so."  NO. THEY. DON'T.  "I believe organic foods and essential oils can cure all ails, because big pharma wants to poison us."  I can't even respond to this coherently right now, but just fucking no.

 
 

 Live out your fucking conspiracy theory on an infectious disease island where my kid is far away from idiots like you.  Don't make us suffer because you're ignorant and don't understand how science works. 


  

LOL to your natural immunity, because if you/your child catches some of these diseases, either you will suffer some horrendous life threatening ailment that could leave you mentally or physically disabled for the rest of your life OR KILL YOU.  Let me repeat that...:  THESE DISEASES CAN PERMANENTLY, IRREPARABLY HARM YOU/YOUR CHILD OR FUCKING KILL YOU/YOUR CHILD.  Thanks, dumb shits, for giving these PREVENTABLE DISEASES a leg up.
    




I'm so fucking pissed off right now.

I just can't with the anti-vax people. Morons, unless you have a medical reason, get the vaccines.

I got into a big FB fight the other day. It is hard for me because I WORK in medical research and so many people are misinformed about how Clinical trials work.

We DON'T manipulate results!! Doctors oversee trials, but it is people like me who collect and submit data and I do not receive money directly from a drug company. there is no conspiracy!!!

Ugh
