Many in the anti-vaxx camp extol the side effects of vaccinating children online to try to persuade others to follow their lead.

Twitter user Megan Amran decided to do the same with some proven side effects of vaccines.


Amran, tongue firmly in cheek, posted this outraged message:

" PARENTS DO NOT VACCINATE YOUR CHILD!! I vaccinated my baby and now 60 years later he has an Old face, too soft hands, horrible looking. DISGUSTING why is he alive so long"

People quickly picked up where she was going and hopped on board with their own vaccine horror stories.


Some even lived long enough to see puberty!

All because their parents vaccinated them.


Others shared their own side effects of not dying young from a preventable disease.

Although some pointed out there might be a conspiracy involved.

People shared how vaccines lead to their children struggling later in life.

And not just in school.

Vaccinated people struggled in the hair care aisle too!


Plus, vaccinating is hereditary!

And the costs of a child that lives are astronomical.

But internet health experts were there to save the day.

I'm sure there is sound science behind these suggestions.

While many anti-vaxx claims are dubious at best or outright lies at worst, it is true that a small percentage of the population is unable to be vaccinated due to allergies or compromised immune systems.

States facing preventable disease outbreaks are now allowing healthcare facilities, day cares and schools to turn these voluntarily unvaccinated children and adults away.

It is for these vulnerable people—who have no choice about vaccinating—that public institutions require that people—who do have a choice—vaccinate their children or keep their children at home. It is still the choice of parents to vaccinate or not.

Choose wisely.

Vaccinate your kids, people, or get ready to home school them. Read more about why vaccines are important here.

The OU Student Who Got A Zero On Her Bible-Based Essay Was Just Honored By Republicans—Because Of Course

Samantha Fulnecky, the University of Oklahoma student who received a zero on a psychology essay about gender after using the Bible as her only source, was honored by the Oklahoma House of Representatives with a special "Citation of Recognition" this week after her complaint—which resulted in a transgender graduate student being placed on administrative leave—made headlines.

Fulnecky's instructor Mel Curth, a transgender woman, assigned her students a 650-word essay about how gender stereotypes impact societal expectations of individuals. Fulnecky instead wrote about what the Bible says about "traditional gender roles," arguing that to refer to them as "stereotypes" is "demonic."

A sycophant is a person who "acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage." An acolyte is a "true believer who helps carry out orders like a henchman, sidekick, or disciple."

While the words often get used interchangeably, they don't mean the same thing.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.
