Oh do fuck off. They were absolutely 100% fucking right about everything they said. Maybe the caps overdid it for you, but I could feel the frustration like my own, when dealing with people like you.
People who refuse to get vaccinated tell me exactly three things:
I want nothing to do with anyone like that. Ever again. Thankfully they all outed themselves during the last pandemic and made it easier for me to cut them out of my life. And anyone who defends these people can fuck off as well.
I am done trying to explain that vaccines don't cause autism. I am done trying to explain that vaccine side effects aren't killing millions of people outside conspiracy theory, anti-vax facebook groups. I am done trying to explain that when you live in a society with other people sometimes you have to do things you don't want to for the greater good. I am done trying to explain that not vaccinating your kids so they can die horribly from preventable shit MAKES YOU A FUCKING MURDERER and should be punishable by law.
I am done. I sincerely hope for all the poor children with anti-vax parents that they will survive into adulthood, and for all the immuno-compromised people that they can shield themselves from this terrifying ignorance, but for anti-vax conspiracy nuts themselves? There is only one thing I hope for: a new, deadlier pandemic. And I hope they suffer and die, just like all the other people who suffered and died while they stood by and didn't care and refused to do their teeny, tiny part to make it safer for everyone around them.
Fuck them.
