Funny how Mississippi, yes freaking Mississippi ditched religious exemptions some years ago and now they have a high rate of vaccinations. I just hope no one there reminds them.

Next up for governor dipshit: “This is America. The federal government should not be prohibiting people from acquiring the materials to make a nuclear weapon. If people don’t want to die from a nuclear blast, they should avoid it.”

Hey, when I was little my mom wanted me to catch Rubella. She was a nurse and has seen the devastating outcomes of babies born after their mother’s had contracted the disease early in their pregnancies.
BUT, there was no vaccination back then so this was the preferred method - getting girls to build natural immunity before their childbearing years.
To do this today is pure ignorance bordering on child endangerment.
The bigger issue I have here is the NINE kids. Overbreeding igorance is dangerous…
ETA: I should have known @maximus would beat me to the 9 kids point!

Republicans watch FAUX News. That inoculates them in stupidity. The results are very very scary.

I think that would actually work the other way…send them to SMART parties so they are “exposed” then spend the next several years complaining about elite snobbery and feeding them conspiracy theories, “conservative” orthodoxy, and Faux News so they don’t grow up smart. “You’ve seen how awful those people are and you do NOT want to be like them!”

I’ve had the new vaccine, and I feel a lot better about that. But I hear it’s only about 60% effective. So if all of Bevin’s kids get THAT vaccine (i.e. if they’re smarter than their dad), only 3.6 of them will still get shingles.

Who the fuck has 9 kids in this day and age?
Is he trying to save the white race all by himself?

Is he aware that it is state law that governs vaccination requirements, not federal law?

Bevin is from the Rubella wing of the Republican Party. The next thing you know he’ll have Jenny McCarthy host a fundraiser.

If I had kids I would block them from Republican Party and make sure they were vaccinated from the terrible brain wasting disease “Mad GOP”.

He might think differently if one of his kids were immuno-compromised, and vulnerable because of his foolishness.

The main rationale for chickenpox vaccination is the economic impact of parents staying home out of work to take care of sick kids. Measles is a different story.
Somebody like Bevin w/ 9 kids presumably already has a spouse (let’s make a sexist assumption here) who will stay home w/ the kids so it’s no skin off his nose.
If I were looking at taking care of 9 sick kids I would totally want to give them shots and avoid that.

As Groucho Marx once said to a mother of 19:
GROUCHO: “Why do you have so many children? That’s a big responsibility and a big burden.”
MRS. STORY: “Well, because I love my children and I think that’s our purpose here on Earth, and I love my husband.”
GROUCHO: “I love my cigar, too, but I take it out of my mouth once in a while.”

How long has there been a chicken pox vaccine? Why didn’t I get one? My folks weren’t ani-vax, I got a bunch of vaccines. Still had to suffer through the chicken pox.
