    We made the national news for a local conservative Christian dip in the lege... YAY us.

    ---------------------------------
    TEXAS REPUBLICAN SAYS VACCINES ARE ‘SORCERY,’ CLAIMS ‘PARENTAL RIGHTS’ ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN SCIENCE

    An anti-vaxxer Texas lawmaker is facing criticism for attacking a prominent vaccinologist and branding inoculations “sorcery.”

    Republican Rep. Jonathan Stickland—who left the hardline conservative Freedom Caucus last week—began a Twitter spat with Peter Hotez, a professor at the Baylor College of Medicine, on Tuesday, the Houston Chronicle reported.

    Hotez had been lamenting an increase in vaccine exemptions, which he said put children “in harm's way for the financial gain of special and outside interest groups.” But Stickland accused Hotez of hypocrisy and suggested that parental rights to reject vaccinations were paramount.

    “You are bought and paid for by the biggest special interest in politics,” Stickland wrote to Hotez. “Do our state a favor and mind your own business. Parental rights mean more to us than your self enriching ‘science.’”

    Repugs and red/slave states polluted with regressive, ignorant, Bible-humping assholes like Stickland are why America can't solve its problems, cannot make progress.

    After online harassment, Immunize Nevada cancels two events in one month

    The nonprofit Immunize Nevada, a coalition that educates people on vaccinations, says it has had to cancel two events in December.

    cyberharassment from anti-vaxxers.

    anti-vaxxers took to Yelp and Facebook to leave negative comments about the restaurants that were hosting the events.

    The events were canceled because

    people feared threats at real-life events.

    While anti-vaxxers might encourage you to throw a
    measles party, remember that,

    worldwide,
    outbreaks of diseases such as measles can be deadly.

    Declining vaccination rates have a
    measurable impact on society—

    and not a good one.

    While anti-vaxxers throw 'measles parties,' Madagascar has outbreak of over 115,000 cases—1,200 dead

    America is ed up when a tiny but intense, predatory, aggressive faction succeeds in hurting the vastly larger majority.

    Forced-birthers is another example.

    Disagree with the politician, but do parental rights only matter when abortion is in play? I think all Americans should be required by law to be vaccinated, fwiw. I am also pro choice.
