You donāt say.
For the record, she actually abandoned the movement BEFORE they all got whooping cough, but abandoned it too late. Thereād been a breakout of measles in her area that caused her to reassess, and she and her doctor had already drafted and started a catch-up vaccination schedule, but her kids caught whooping cough just before it could be started. Then she wrote a blog post for The Scientific Parent explaining how she and her husband had come to wrong decisions in the first place, how they changed their mind, the consequences they suffered as a result, and asking other parents to please vaccinate their kids. And now sheās an activist for destroying the misinformation of anti-vaxxers, and reaching out to anti-vaxxers because sheās understands their fears but knows their kids deserve better.Ā
She was trying to the best for her kids and just didnāt know how to interpret the validity of information or its sources, an actual skill that can be actually difficult and that is under-taught and a necessary first step to being able to trust vaccination research, so chose no action over taking an action she wasnāt sure of. She kept looking into it with family and friends and even eventually came to the right conclusion before her kids became sick, but it was still too late.
Honestly it was pretty brave of her to publicly admit she was wrong. She could have just quietly vaccinated her kids and not become a national news story, but instead she spoke out, even sayingĀ āIām writing this from quarantine, the irony of which isnāt lost on me.ā and alsoĀ āI am not looking forward to any gloating or shame as this ādefectionā from the antivaxx camp goes public, but, this isnāt a popularity contest. Ā Right now my family is living the consequences of misinformation and fear. Ā I understand that families in our community may be mad at us for putting their kids at risk.ā
She understood the consequences and still put herself and her story out there.Ā
You know what, it does take a big person to admit they were wrong so publicly and work to undo the harm. I believe I made fun of her in the past, but timemachineyeah changed my mind.
āI never thought leopards would eat MY face, until I realized they totally would, and they will eat your face, too!ā warns defector from the leopards-eating-faces party
donāt hide this in the tagsā¦.
#really important actually#like. itās so important that we allow people to STOP voting for leopards eating faces#because if you attack anyone leaving the leopards eating faces party when they realize itās bad#the only support system theyāll have is the people who want them to come back to it#you have to make it possible for people escape instead of considering them forever tainted and impure and inherently evil
The #1 trait of anti-vaxxers is not ātheyāre stupidā or āthey fell for propagandaā but āthey donāt know whoās safe to trust.ā
The movement is pushed by women, especially suburban moms, because they know damn well you cannot trust doctors. You cannot trust the medical industry, the billion-dollar corporate zone of āyou should lose some weight and maybe the pain will stop.ā Cannot trust the ones who keep changing diet advice - is it no sugar? No carbs? No fats? Is it dangerous to let kids eat things in wild colors? Food pyramid: good or bad? They cannot trust the BMI chart that says they should lose 75 lbs to be āhealthy.ā (Whether or not they āshouldā lose 75 lbs, they know damn well that āhealthyā does not describe any part of the journey to getting there.) Cannot trust the ones who keep giving them incomplete and sometimes incorrect information about contraception. The ones who said āthatās false labor; you have two weeks moreā 12 hours before they gave birth. And so on.
So they have their kids, and they want so much for their kids to be safe, and the doctors and nurses say: Get them vaccinated.
So they ask: What about if thereās complications? An allergic reaction? Side effects?
And the doctors and nurses say: Get them vaccinated.
This is⦠not reassuring.
And they ask, My sister-in-lawās cousin had a really bad reaction to the MMR shot and I want to know how I can tell itās safe for my kids.
And the doctors and nurses say: Get them vaccinated.
Throw in the right-wing/libertarian faction yelling YOU CANāT TELL ME WHAT TO DO and the insurance companies saying āhey um you need a specific type of coverage for that; we probably cover those vaccinations but youāll need this special paperwork to be sureā - and then you have the actual anti-vax propagandists yelling some combination of cherry-picked statistics and outright lies, and you get a whole lot of moms willing to say BUGGRE ALL THIS FOR A LARKE.
There is no amount of facts that can fix this. Theyāre swamped with facts from 300 directions. What they need to fix this is empathy and the kind of connections that lead to trust.
They need to trust that, even as the medical industry dismisses a whole lot of womensā concerns, in this particular area, theyāre right.
Add in the consequences of having a significant portion of your social support network tied up in a particular worldview, leaving it, much less openly condemning it, is really hard and means losing your community support. In a world where the system canāt be trusted to pick up that slack, Moms canāt afford to risk the change - until the cost of staying clearly outweighs the coat of pushing back, not just in general, but for their kids.
Kindness doesnāt just matter because itās more ethical - it'salso a more effective strategy.
Donāt normally do this but
Kindness doesnāt just matter because itās more ethical - it'salso a more effective strategy.
Get this into your fucking heads. Kindness and compassion and one might even say ālove,ā are strategies, not just vague fluffy inoffensive emotions. Cruelty will never save us.
Gods damn I wish there was an option soās you could see the latest addition to a post when it swims across your dash instead of the first.
KINDNESS IS A MORE EFFECTIVE STRATEGY. CRUELTY WILL NEVER SAVE US.
Watch to the end...
The joy when he did it!

I feel like we don't talk enough about Wymack and Andrew's relationship and that's killing me.
Because, for all we know, Wymark is the first adult male that Andrew has trusted. Not only trusted, but the amount of respect they have for each other... Idk. It's such a beautiful thing. There's something in the way that Wymack lets Andrew be, but at the same time is constantly concerned about him.
We're constantly talking about how Wymack knew about Andrew and Neil before Neil did (obviously, it's hilarious). But for him to do that he had to assume Andrew was gay. No judgment. No doubts. No explanations needed. Just looking at them and seeing them. Seeing Andrew.
Ahh, idk, I just love them. I need more of them.
magical girl shows are good because their attacks will be something like "super love sunshine friendship beam" but make no mistake, super love sunshine friendship beam WILL end you. super love sunshine friendship beam will leave a crater in the ground where you once stood. you cannot understimate the power of super love sunshine friendship beam.
idc ill say it every day if i have to. no place for pedophiles or their sympathizers on here, i donāt give a shit what you want to call me. she deserves the consequences of her actions. donāt even think about falling for the pity party sheās gonna throw about it. pedophiles are pathetic and cowardly creatures who donāt deserve to be felt bad for. can we have a spine just this once guys
yall will respect disabled people until theyre the "funny" disabilities and it pisses me off.
i am a little person. i am 4'0, i have ccd and achondroplasia. i have various other genetic conditions that affect me but i will be mentioning my identity as a little person mostly.
quit using little people as the butt of your jokes. no, you cant use the m slur it is a slur, no you cant call us gnomes or elves or dwarves or whatever the fuck you call us. we are real people, we arent little characters or creatures. we are LIVING BREATHING PEOPLE. quit treating us like kids or idiots. you dont have to baby us. quit making fun of little people's heights, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WITH DISPROPORTIONATE DWARFISM. you are fucking ableist if you make fun of little people, you dont see us as people you see us a joke. im sick and tired of people i love and care for treating me as if im a joke and making fun of my height. fuck off
i dont care if we "look funny" or "haha tiny" its so fucking annoying and disrespectful to be treated as if the body isnt a living, breathing, full grown adult.
be better.
taking a break from rote to relisten to aftg. i missed my boy neil josten dearly
who else up thinking about neil saying heād forgotten what body heat felt like before kissing andrew. who else up thinking about destructive/joyless/cold/unfeeling andrew minyard being the physical and emotional embodiment of warmth for neil.

Sooner or later leftists will have to deal with the issue that capitalism has made many people used to wanton excess and sooner or later we'll have to legit tell everyone we can't have plastic treats and luxury produce or cruises instantly available year round and it's gonna make so many people mad and call you a big meanie worse than stalin over it. It will not be popular at all but someone's gotta hold a firm no or the planet will never stop collapsing. We can't save the planet by living exactly how we do now just with a communist banner over it we have to take a loss sorry, shein product cycles shouldn't have been normalized to begin with.
The banana discourse really separated the wheat from the chaff of which "lefties" actually want a global workers revolution and which ones just want more stuff to be free
