So I need this shirt (pro-vax related)

I could wear it to an anti-vax convention--I am sure they are around, somewhere.



I think I will be run out of there if I show up in that shirt.

    I have a local facebook group with about 1800 milwaukee area moms. There are people on all sides but there are way to many all natural, western medicine is evil and a conspiracy folks in that group, or at least they are very outspoken minority. I once had one of them arguing with me that there is no scientific evidence at all that vaccines have reduced disease rates. Some of them claim its just our natural immunity kicking in and that the vaccines are actually making these diseases worse. They even provide scientific journals that are halfway related (only like 1 or 2 articles) but that don't quite prove their point but they are relentless.

    If I posted that shirt I would get lots of hate. Some got reemed out one time for posting the meta-study that concluded that autism was not linked to vaccines (i think that was in the same thread as my above argument). They said she was being insensitive to other's beliefs.

    I love it! My oldest daughter got chicken pox last week and the reaction from other parents and health professionals has been funny. They all seem to start gearing themselves up for a fight with me about vaccines unti I explain that she IS vaccinated. She just happens to be the unlucky 2% that still ended up with the virus too.

    At 9mo, our vaccinated DD got whooping cough.

    I would totally wear that shirt.
