Forty states saw rises in parents citing religious or other personal concerns for not vaccinating their young children.

The number of kids whose caregivers are opting them out of routine childhood vaccines has reached an all-time high, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday, potentially leaving hundreds of thousands of children unprotected against preventable diseases like measles and whooping cough.

The report did not dive into the reasons for the increase, but experts said the findings clearly reflect Americans' growing unease about medicine in general.

"There is a rising distrust in the health care system," said Dr. Amna Husain, a pediatrician in private practice in North Carolina, as well as a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics. Vaccine exemptions "have unfortunately trended upward with it."

That’s your rationale for deciding vaccines are bad?? Wait till you hear about the companies who made the device you’re typing on, the electricity your home uses, your vehicle and the fuel you put in it, and the food you eat.

The fact that someone so stupid like you is alive is proof enough that vaccines are bad.

Lol I tapped your user profile so I could tag you, and just saw your opinions on RegEx and DevOps. Holy shit you have no license to call another human being stupid. Hahahahahahaha

Which client are you using to tag people? The function was surprisingly useful in RES and I bet it's even more useful on the comparatively small pond that is Lemmy...

[–] alignedchaos 2 points 1 year ago

The sad part is that’s how I discovered there isn’t one. :/ At least not on the Memmy app

[–] mayoi -1 points 1 year ago

Well you aren't human so don't worry about this.

[–] alignedchaos 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly, vaccines are why a lot of otherwise stupid people are able to survive. Bet you’re the kind of person who also has fascinating theories about evolution “culling the weak.” I hope you don’t have any dependents who are forced to rely on you.

[–] mayoi -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Evolution isn't enough, humans are pretty fucking retarded species that will never evolve to anything great because luddites keep fighting against eugenics.

Indeed, the opinion you didn't want to hear after probing for it is here. Have you tried not asking if answers will hurt you as usual?

[–] alignedchaos 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hahahahahaha I suspected you were a troll but you clearly don’t understand what is happening here. Thanks for making it so easy

[–] mayoi 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A butthurt snowflake is crying about da troooolz is what's happening here, nothing that I haven't seen before.

[–] alignedchaos 1 points 1 year ago
