So this vid is regarding bacteria, not viruses like measles, but it's an insanely good illustration of just how quickly evolution happens on a microscopic scale:

This is why finishing your entire antibiotic prescription is so important even if you feel better after it's half way done: if there are a few remaining cells that are less susceptible to the drug, you want to really overwhelm them so they're fully dead. Allow them to recover and multiply, and you just bred up a new strain of superbug. We don't give them a bridge of progressively higher doses for them to adapt to, we go straight to dropping nukes.

So back to viruses. These antivax dipshits are basically offering themselves and their children up as petri dishes for the virus to not just thrive in, but to mutate in. If a single one of those microscopic fuckers mutates in a way that bypasses your immune defenses granted by a vaccine, then we're literally one sneeze away from being back to square one with no measles vaccine, cuz the one we have just become obsolete. Fast forward a few months worth of spreading from host to host in a world full of international travel, and boom, there's our next global pandemic.

The decision to vaccinate or not is NOT a personal choice: it's a communal one. Even ignoring the outliers like immunocompromised people who rely on herd immunity, choosing not to vaccinate is rolling the dice for the fates of literally everyone. No needle is that scary - just fucking do it.

This antivax shit is some of the most maliciously selfish nonsense that humans are capable of.

Imagine being anti-medicine. That's what being anti-vaccine is in a nutshell.

Unfortunately, being anti-vaxx also harms others by allowing preventable diseases to spread.

We are a vile people.

Fuck antivaxxers with a wire brush

You need experts to gain this knowledge?

Water wet, say experts

I'm against the death penalty, but for anti vaxers I'll make an exception, and they should die by being infected with preventable diseases until they die.

That way, maybe maybe they'll finally understand that not only they're full of shit, but also that they directly brought completely preventable suffering and death to men, wonen, and children.

These people, to me, are mass murderers and should be treated as such. String those ignorant fuckers from the highest tree for all I care, they will have to sit in the same circle of hell as Hitler and his buddies

Nature is culling the herd -> people who willingly refuse vaccines.

Edit: true the reply. It really is very sad. I see how my comment was unclear.
