And this is a huge part of why we have a measles outbreak happening just a few miles from where I live. Fortunately everyone in my household is vaccinated, but it’s not even supposed to be a thing in the US anymore! And yet it is, not in small part because of widely shared anti-vaccination articles on social media.
- wil421 8y agoMy wife is pregnant and the doctors realized she isn’t immune to measles. The vaccination she had was either not effective or she didn’t develope immunity. I read a comment on Reddit where a student said they had whooping cough but were vaccinated. Turns out most of the people who had the cough went to the same doctor to get vaccinated. The vaccine he gave was presumably a bad batch. I’d caution against exposing your family to anything if you don’t have to. Especially measles.
