My parents are antivaxers
My sister and extended family are antimedicine as in ALL medications and traditional physicians.
I.e. they are all flaming idiots.
Iām so fucking tired of telling my uncle that a fucking ibuprofen wonāt send you into renal failure. But guess what? Iām a woman and I know nothing and he knows a guy whoās dadās cousinās auntās neighbor died that way so I must be wrong.
These people are insane. They are putting not only their lives and the publicās at risk but what about their poor children!?
The government canāt make it mandatory because itās encroaching on liberties and yes I see how thatās a slippery slope but the current solution of banning unvaccinated children from schools is now causing a bigger issue.
This sect is just using this as an excuse to homeschool their children. I speak from personal experience here when I say that many parents have no business being in charge of a childās education. Education is a right not a privilege, and they are absolutely abusing the system. They do not teach these kids. Half of the children I grew up around couldnāt read and had no social skills.
Now my parents sort of went the middle route with this. Very neglectful of our social opportunities and teaching assistance but I was taking college courses in high school. Schooling year round I had triple the credits required to graduate. However I had no idea how to take standardized tests and had no help from my co-op in applying to colleges or what to do to get there. I can honestly say I taught myself everything from second grade (when I started homeschooling) until graduation. My parents werenāt there my co-op never regulated as they were legally required, the books just got thrown in my face and I got screamed out if I ever didnāt know something I was āsupposedā to.
Iām so tired of watching this cycle of ignorance repeating over and over. If I had the tools that should have been available to me I know for a fact I would be in medical residency right now. But because of the choices that were made for me that wasnāt an option. Part of me wonders if this system was solely designed to keep women quiet.
