Idiots-Vent

Let me preface this by saying my cousin is really just an idiot. It's years of experience and horrible life decisions and words she says that leads to her being an idiot, so it's not just one little thing.

So...I just went off on her for this article.

I am so sick of these anti-vaccine, stupid stuff popping up on my Facebook news feed! Do people really feel that they aren't doing much by posting this trash? Posting misconstrued tragedy on a public forum distorts people's opinions and creates health crises. I'm sad for the family, but there is so much more at play than vaccines.

Vent over.

Quick Google search and I found this. She died from violent head injuries and he was sentenced for, among other things, child abuse.

I have a friend of my husband's that pollutes Facebook with tons of antivax crap. He had this one up too. I honestly do NOT understand people.

I totally agree. She is also defending it.

Ugh, I hate battling stupid. I can't help it though, especially when it comes to something like this. It looks like vaccines were not even brought up during the trial. So who knows where that is coming from. He claims that someone else caused the injuries. I would guess that she was shaken.

She deleted the entire post.

Really? If your child is sick you don't worry about 'bothering' the doctor. I also don't understand leaving your newborn to cry in another room so that you can make a bottle. Let's just blame vaccines for every issue in a child's life, because then at least parents have an excuse. It's really sad that anyone would want to share this article.

The anti-vax article is total bullshit, but I have let my LO cry in his crib for a minute or two if he wakes up and there isn't a bottle ready yet. I can't mix it while holding him, and he won't stop crying when he wakes up hungry until he gets his bottle.

This kind of reminds me of something that's been bothering me lately. I roll my eyes every time someone on my FB promotes an agenda with links to articles from completely unreliable sources. I have one person constantly posting about medical marijuana and one about clean living (organic food, eliminating environmental toxins, etc.) Both areas have nothing wrong with them persay, but when you link to an unreputable website published by some random person, it doesn't really help your case.

I also wonder if the clean living person is an anti-vaxxer, but if she is, she hasn't shown her true colors yet.

They are ridiculous. I don't know how all those people can't see that the man shook his baby and is now lying about it to get out of a jail sentence.

I was fine reading the article, reading the comments is what got me mad.
