I Feel for Kids with Food Allergies, but an Anti-Vaxx Message. [View all] RiffRandell Feb 2015 OP

Kick. RiffRandell Feb 2015 #1

k&r uppityperson Feb 2015 #2

Thanks! RiffRandell Feb 2015 #3

This is bad. It's not fair to conflate people who have life-threatening food allergies with anti-vaxxers. pnwmom Feb 2015 #4

No it's not, and no I didn't. RiffRandell Feb 2015 #5

I read your comment. And yet you posted an ad that linked peanut allergies and anti-vaxxers. pnwmom Feb 2015 #8

Feel free to alert on it if it's so offensive. RiffRandell Feb 2015 #10

point well taken, pnwmom hopemountain Feb 2015 #11

what "ad" are you talking about? What is being advertised? And no uppityperson Feb 2015 #12

You missed the point I was making. pnwmom Feb 2015 #30

The graphic, not ad, compares parents doing things to protect other people's kids. uppityperson Feb 2015 #35

That's ridiculous! gregcrawford Feb 2015 #6

Appreciate the defense, but I'm a she. RiffRandell Feb 2015 #7

OOPS! gregcrawford Feb 2015 #41

You completely missed the point of the OP. winter is coming Feb 2015 #9

No, I get the point. But they linked people with food allergies with anti-vaxxers pnwmom Feb 2015 #16

no, she linked parents of both groups, and responsibilities for others uppityperson Feb 2015 #24

No, they didn't. cab67 Feb 2015 #31

The message is that "community matters" - TBF Feb 2015 #51

Hmm. Kinda how you "link" ecigarettes with unproven public health dangers Widget2000 Feb 2015 #74

You completely missed the point. HappyMe Feb 2015 #13

It was the "my kid" versus "your kid" part that separated kids with peanut allergies pnwmom Feb 2015 #18

Huh? nt RiffRandell Feb 2015 #21

What's so insulting about that? HappyMe Feb 2015 #27

The insult is in linking "your kid" to possible peanut allergies AND to not being vaccinated. pnwmom Feb 2015 #34

You're reading something into this that simply does not exist. obxhead Feb 2015 #42

And just how are non vaccinated children not life-threatening to others??? randr Feb 2015 #47

They are. But parents of children with peanut allergies are not like anti-vaccine people pnwmom Feb 2015 #55

it is comparing 2 situations in which behavior is modified for the safety of someone else's uppityperson Feb 2015 #59

Where did I ever say anything like that about anti-vaxx people? pnwmom Feb 2015 #63

here is the quote in the post I replied to. uppityperson Feb 2015 #65

I have a step daughter who is anti-vaccine randr Feb 2015 #75

How does she justify her anti-vaxx stance? RiffRandell Feb 2015 #78

Mostly thru denial and support of like minded friends. randr Feb 2015 #79

Ugh. RiffRandell Feb 2015 #80

One I saw this morning... Lancero Feb 2015 #14

Uh oh...you're in trouble now! RiffRandell Feb 2015 #15

You don't get it. Still. This is exactly what I was objecting to. THE SAME MOTHER pnwmom Feb 2015 #23

I believe you are reading way too much into it. RiffRandell Feb 2015 #33

It is NONSENSE to think that children with peanut allergies -- a measurable physical condition -- pnwmom Feb 2015 #37

I don't know whether any such statistics exist. winter is coming Feb 2015 #40

Agreed about this particular cartoon. F4lconF16 Feb 2015 #36

It's a cartoon. She's a symbolic figure, not a real person. n/t winter is coming Feb 2015 #43

jeebus jumpin' h Christ. obxhead Feb 2015 #45

Maybe I'm missing something... cwydro Feb 2015 #20

Thank you. You seem to be the first person who understood my point. pnwmom Feb 2015 #25

Yeah, to me that cartoon linked the two together. cwydro Feb 2015 #54

You did obxhead Feb 2015 #71

That it absolutely incorrect. RiffRandell Feb 2015 #70

No. it is comparing parents doing things to protect children other than own. uppityperson Feb 2015 #32

I kinda get it. cwydro Feb 2015 #68

That's good. HappyMe Feb 2015 #29

what about children with auto-immune conditions hopemountain Feb 2015 #17

Not if all kids are vaccinated! RiffRandell Feb 2015 #19

please re-read my post. hopemountain Feb 2015 #22

I know that, which is why children who can get the vaccines should! RiffRandell Feb 2015 #26

What safer alternatives that vaccinating against deadly diseases are there? No long term uppityperson Feb 2015 #28

Children (and adults) with auto-immune conditions are already exempt - haele Feb 2015 #53

Excellent, thoughtful post. nt RiffRandell Feb 2015 #57

Of course not - that is the point TBF Feb 2015 #62

Great cartoon n/t SickOfTheOnePct Feb 2015 #38

The two are totally unrelated and should not be conflated HERVEPA Feb 2015 #39

Doing things, modifying behavior, to protect other kids is the point and holds true for both uppityperson Feb 2015 #44

Fortunately, they aren't being conflated Orrex Feb 2015 #52

As a parent whose daughter is deathly allergic to peanut butter. dilby Feb 2015 #46

Not the same wisechoice Feb 2015 #48

What about kids that are auto-immune or too young? RiffRandell Feb 2015 #49

valid point wisechoice Feb 2015 #73

Some kids can not be vaccinated and sometimes vaccines fail. Should parents protect other's kids by uppityperson Feb 2015 #50

You don't seem to understand the concept of "herd immunity". 11 Bravo Feb 2015 #64

This is stupid. Android3.14 Feb 2015 #56

I know of no schools that operate that way Orrex Feb 2015 #66

My daughter's elementary school operated that way. winter is coming Feb 2015 #69

In Maine, the schools/district will send a letter if a student has an allergy to peanuts Android3.14 Feb 2015 #72

School where I worked had a separate peanut free table HockeyMom Feb 2015 #77

I got it. Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #58

Yeah, like the movie Finding Nemo. RiffRandell Feb 2015 #60

Indeed. Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #61

My community just got measles cases. Primary school has 24% exemption rate, 0 pb tolerance uppityperson Feb 2015 #67

Are kids with measles allowed to attend school? aikoaiko Feb 2015 #76

That's utter bullshit anyway Spider Jerusalem Feb 2015 #81

It can. cab67 Feb 2015 #82

No, it can't. There have been double-blind studies that prove it can't. Spider Jerusalem Feb 2015 #84

Can you point me toward them? cab67 Feb 2015 #85

Yeah I'd like to see those too laundry_queen Feb 2015 #86
