As a kid who had chickenpox, because vaccines weren’t available yet, I hate that guy with the fire of 1,000 suns. I’m glaring at him with my shiny, new shingles vaccine.

That's typically why doctors and scientists do the research.

"When you hear the word vaccine, you think you're going to have immunity the rest of your life..." Sure, if you're a fucking moron that didn't pay attention in school, of course you would not understand how vaccines work.

Does he also like to stab himself repeatedly with a fork when he is bored?

Ignorance kills!

Fund your own medical study. lol

When his kids have painful shingles attacks as adults, I am sure they will be grateful that they didn’t get that pesky vaccine.

I take it that neither of those armchair doctors knows the dangers of Chicken Pox on their children and any adult that has never had it or received the vaccine?

Another stupid antivaxxer

Idiots live and govern among us

The chickenpox vaccine is a live, attenuated (weakened) viral vaccine. #idiots

Their children are merely chattels to be disposed of if they displease them, being gay for example.

OMFG the stupid, it hurts.

GOP healthcare plan.

Just when I thought there would be no US market for Shingrix in six years.

Yes, he’s a dumb parent, but he’s an elected lawmaker??

GAH! THESE STUPID MFers!! Chicken pox damnnear blinded me as a veryyoung child

“Do the research yourself” = I’m a fucking moron

This is why I never ask a chiropractor for general medical advice.

This is the same thinking they apply to school shootings Exposing kids to more shootings will make them immune to bullets

MAGA is extra stupid. Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and can lead to complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, and secondary bacterial infections, particularly in high-risk groups.

If your government passes a law that might lead to your death (like the draft sending you to Vietnam, for instance) that is worth fighting against. But a law that leads you to preserving your health and life is a problem? Seriously?

Look around at the number of seniors who are alive today. Look at how old they are. How do you think that happened? VACCINES! MRNA vaccines have been around for DECADES! What is the problem with accepting what your eyes can clearly see?

Yup. I remember . Then, i got shingles.😡

Wut?

Yes, I'm signing my kids up for shingles and all that pain! Parent of the year reward!!

Fucking propeller head. Let's have syphilis parties in our iron lungs to suck the pus out. It'll be fun. I'm not an anti-vaxxer. Some of my best friends are immune-suppressed but we can steralize them.

What is wrong with these idiots.. let’s bring back TB, smallpox etc.. too be that dumb is non human

“close to an mRNA vaccine” SMDH at these idiots

Who's the chairman of the Chickenpox party? John Featherman /i'll leave now

WTF 😬

🤯

A herpes party?

A chickenpox party? Brilliant. Why protect children with a proven vaccine when you can deliberately expose them to a potentially dangerous virus? And the chickenpox vaccine isn’t mRNA. Do your own research apparently means skipping biology and consulting Facebook University. What an idiot.

What an utter moron! 🙈

"The wrong cock head was lopped off. I thought for sure I said chicken"

Why isn’t this a crime to knowingly expose your child to grievous harm?

What a fool!

Shingles is absolutely miserable, even when you're healthy in your 20s. How awful that their parent would be ok with that for them.

When I was a kid, they had chickenpox parties. That was before the vaccine existed. Why would you put your kid through that when you can just get them a shot?

Whoa, haven't seen this guy in a LOooong time. #Sopranos Well picked.

*know

Exactly!

Yet more ignorant fuckers.

That’s thinking out of the dark ages. They don’t realize or admit that children died from the pox. and I lost friends, 60 yrs ago I and my siblings had it and we were miserable. I lost lost a baby sister that was still born because my mother was infected while pregnant.

Be sure to clearly remind your children throughout their lives where they can remember that when they are 50 and get shingles. They can remember good old dad and his chickenpox party. Anybody that takes advice from a politician about healthcare is an idiot.

Oh dear. How did we get to this? I despair.

Or a face full of scars

As someone who attended a chickenpox party & then had my 1st shingles outbreak at 30, learn to love the feeling of your skin being on fire because you can’t even get access to the shingles vaccine until you are 50

I get it. I’m sorry you have to deal with that. I truly am. I’ve just had my fill of stupid people. Was I being hyperbolic? Yeah. Guilty as charged. I apologize.

Research means looking at the first entry on Google and if it says what they want to hear, that's enough research.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Chickenpox as a child and shingles at 15...

Yay! Lifetime scarring and shingles, what's not to love???

Is that a propeller on his head?

We had such parties in the 60s when there was no safe and effective vaccine! Very disturbing this man.

“And then I was thinking, maybe we take it up a notch and have an Ebola party”

Tell me you flunked high school biology without …

Ignorant people that enjoy the protection of vaccines that their parents gave them yet they are willing to expose their own children.

And someday, those kids will thank their ignorant parents for the terrible cases of shingles they'll all get as adults because of their chickenpox - if they survive. #VaccinesSaveLives

Child endangerment and they'll be at risk for shingles later

Yes, do the research. Hint: scrolling you Facebook feed is not doing research

The Agatha Christie novel was based on her experience! You learn something new every day.

I always thought that was just an Agatha Christie novel! It really happened? BRB…

Hey Bill...?

The Measles Party I went to was a bit different....it started with putting my car keys in a fishbowl and then we got naked. Haven't had the measles since!

That guy's kids should be taken away from him... there ARE NO mRNA chickenpox vaccines, currently. They're all live-attenuated vaccines. This means they use a weakened, live version of the varicella-zoster virus to trigger an immune response; "immunizations" - exactly what he claims they're NOT.

My parents were very concerned about me not having had Rubella by the time I became an adult: I have an older cousin who is legally blind and struggles with a few other health issues caused by my aunt getting Rubella during her pregnancy. I got it eventually. Then the #vaccine was developed. Hurray!

Chickenpox vaccine and an mRNA vaccine are "close" in the sense that they have the word "vaccine" in common. By the way, parents, chickenpox virus is what causes shingles.

Don’t do the research yourself, someone much more qualified than these assholes already has

It should come as no surprise that this guy’s medical background is as a ….. Chiropractor.

I remember this was a thing in the 80s. I think because its safer to get them when younger. Or did my mom wage biological warfare against me?

My kids were vaccinated, still got chicken pox. Milder cases. My DOCTOR wanted to send her four year old to my house. I said no. Even though the cases were mild, they were still awful.

To this idiot: you're kids will thank when they get shingles in their optic nerve as adults. Look it up.

Somebody tell him about the plague party next week!

🤬🤬🤬🫪🫪

Death cult.

So they enjoy t*rturing children by giving them life-threatening diseases on purpose. Got it.

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Does he know that chickenpox reactions get worse the older the child? My brother was 11 when he got chickenpox & his throat swelled shut (had to be hospitalized)

And those kids will be so thankful when they get to deal with shingles in their middle ages.

I had the chicken pox as a kid, as there was no vaccine yet. I was miserable for a week, and at one point, my fever was so high that my parents had to put me in a cold tub, screaming and crying. Don't do this to your kids.

My daughter does her own research. Except she has a Chemistry degree from McGill and runs a lab at Pfizer.

Make sure you get your shingles vaccine, then. Chickenpox was horrible, but shingles is worse!!

Next month - smallpox party? Or hey, they could rename the GOP

Cant wait for afterparty surprise shingles shindig later

Idiots

Weapons-grade stupid

Child abuse

The chickenpox vaccine is a live virus vaccine, in use since 1995. Not mRNA. Before it: more than 4 million cases, 10,500 to 13,500 hospitalizations and 100 to 150 deaths a year. Do the research yourself, he said. Done.

OMG. I am in week six of shingles. Four visits to urgent care. WTF are they thinking!

Reminds me of the AIDS (gift-giving) parties all of us used to go to in the late 90s/00s.. wtf

What a dumB asshole

Pre-MMR, I remember my mom telling me if someone had the mumps at a party the men would immediately stampede for the exit. We really need to make the men insist their kids get the MMR.

He’s not wrong that the chickenpox is similar to the mRNA vaccine, which is what’s so maddening: the vaccine gives you the protection *without the being sick part*

Do the research yourself

Not all of America supports Republicans like this idiot.

Is this not a crime? Like child abuse to the nth degree.

Sure... "do the understanding yourself". 🤦‍♂️

If people want to die from diseases that we’ve already successfully fought with vaccines, I say “good riddance.” Don’t get vaccinated and hopefully you won’t have to worry about it for much longer. I’m so tired of stupid people

No! Do not do the research yourself! You're not qualified! Let scientists do the research!

What are they saying? They think the c pox vax is "close" in style to an mRNA vaccine (it's not based on mRNA, and "close to" means nothing here, other than it's a vaccine) and so they'd rather let their kids get the pox? Yep - setting them up for shingles!

Dr. Internet is as good of a doctor as a barber used to be. Or even a witch. "Tail of a lizard, hair of a bat, feather from an owl". Hocus pocus mother f*cker.

How is this not child abuse?

I suppose The Decameron was a Black Death party

When Republicans say "do the research" they mean google something and look at unqualified searches that only validate your "ignorant opinion"

shit like this should be disqualifying

Purposely causing illness in children. Dumb.

👀

Wow, so I guess the shingles vaccine they'll need later is ok?

Yes, and sniffing glue is close to Flonase.

If your kid suffers a nasty fall out of their treehouse, do you take them to the emergency room for an X-ray of their rapidly swelling leg or do you do your own research & try to diagnose & treat at home? X-rays put out radiation you know. You trust the ER docs? Then trust your pediatrician.
