An anti-vaxxer mom, worried about a measles outbreak, turned to her fellow vaccine truthers on Facebook for advice this week. What should she do to protect her unvaccinated 3-year-old?

Some of the suggestions she received in the comments did not appear to be from the anti-vaxx community:

  • "Bring her to the edge of the flat earth. The air is cleaner there."
  • "Have you tried thoughts and prayers?"
  • "Build a wall around her and make the vaccinated people pay for it. Sending my thoughts and prayers."
  • "Did you try sharing her picture on Facebook with the caption '1 like equal one prayer'?"

Except, you know, when they prevent you getting the flu. :D
My understanding is they prevent you contracting certain strains of flu, which may or may not be the ones doing the rounds this year. Pretty effective, but they can't stop it entirely. :nerd:
