Antivaccine crankery transcends politics.

I'm starting to encounter this now. Unsolicited vaccine advice from space cadet hippie moms.

Part of the reason I didn't want CT knowing I was having a child.

It's a retro thing.  Don't you guys miss the days when people regularly contracted the measles and whooping cough?

We had a lady stop us in the grocery store when my wife was about 8 months pregnant with our first, telling us how her grandson got autism because of the MMR vaccine.

Despite being armed with hundreds of witty responses, we just walked away.

People, man. How do they work?

True, but the one exception is the vaccine issue. You not getting your kid vaccinated can fuck my kid up, which means I want to murder parents who don't get their kids vaccinated.

THERE ARE TOO MANY HIPSTER FATHERS ON THE FIELD.

THERE ARE TOO MANY HIPSTER FATHERS ON THE FIELD.

If there's one thing hipsters love more than a fixed gear bike or boutique moustache wax, it's a government-issue immunization schedule.

That Congressional hearing was stupid.  Prior to that comedy of errors, the only people I've heard this anti-vaccine stuff from were Obamadongchugging homolib taxocrats.  One in particular: My neighbor is constantly running through the conspiracy-theory truth on deadly vaccines when she's not telling me about her plans for a true water birth, her chilling hatred and fear of epidurals, and her almost-militant and nearly-abortion-clinic-bombing-level opposition to circumcision.  She and her husband seem to have a polyamorous marriage thing going, so at least there are amusing stories about their crushes in between the crazy.

The point is, I'm glad I know never to have kids ever.
