Health officials plead with residents to vaccinate against measles as Utah hits 358 infections.

“It is not a mild infection, it is not a mild virus; it is a severe illness. And they kept on telling me they wish they’d known beforehand how bad measles was, so that they could have protected their family,” she said.

    but they’d still bitch about the vaccine.

    My favorite were the ones that refused the vaccine, mocked others for getting “the jab”, posted daily on social media how the government was evil for mandating vaccinations (which it wasn’t). And then, after they contracted covid and at the 11th hour dying from the infection, they beg for the vaccination (which would be like throwing a cup of water on a wild fire) and cry about the unfairness as they wither away and die.

    Fuck anti-vaxxers

      Idk, fuck anti-vaxxers and all, but watching anyone wither and die as they beg… is pretty fucked up for anyone to see. I do ICU nursing, and the pandemic left me with some ptsd; 10/10 wouldn’t recommend

        Please don’t get me wrong. I am not suggesting schadenfreude. I just can’t get over the hypocritical nature of their attitude.

        I find compassion for my patients, even as I hope they die and all their idiocy dies with them… swiftly. I’m tired of living in a world that is actively being made worse by their ilk.
