I realize that no one on here needs to be told to vaccinate, but this is a great post. Short and sweet but to the point. If you have any skeptics in your life this is a good share.

Hmmm this is good for my argument next week with my sis. The question is do I start the shitstorm now on fb or wait and do it in person...decisions decisions.
@etoille It's only a matter of time before I go all A Few Good Men on the anti-vaxxers:
You can't handle the truth!Son,
we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded
by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a
greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for
Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the
luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic,
probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and
incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because
deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on
that wall. You need me on that wall.
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the
backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a
punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself
to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I
provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you
just said thank you and went on your way.

Yeah, DH is a microbiologist so it was never even a question in our house, our kids were getting vaccinated.
A friend's 2 yo DD currently has chicken pox which shocked me since I haven't heard of kids getting chicken pox in years. She received the vaccine but apparently it's like the flu shot in that you can still catch it but the vaccine lessens the severity. Which then makes me think some jerk who didn't get their kid vaccinated spread chicken pox to a vaccinated kid. I know there is no way to trace it back but I can't help but jump to that conclusion and be mad about it. If everyone were vaxed it wouldn't be out there!

I need to watch A Few Good Men for the bajillionth time again now.
I know a lot of antivaxxers and felt like I had to consider it when it was time to make the decision for Lilly. The more research that DH and I did, the more it became clear that vax was the only way to go.
