#Parenting with #antivax parents: a thread.
When I was young, my antivax mom always told me that I would have to do my own research about #vaccines. When I grew up & my research led me to get myself vaccinated, she was upset.
My heart breaks for this poor family as they grieve the loss of their child. Please #vaccinate your kids to keep them safe from preventable illness and death. 💔

Antivaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy jr. Who has extreme views and doesn’t really understand what HHS does, confirmed as secretary of Health and Human services by Republican Senators too frightened to defend their constituents from harm.
Spoonful of Sugar lyrics, according to my 5 year old:
And any task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
And die and scream
It's very clear to seeeee...

This is horrifying. As a parent, I don't understand how you let anything stands in the way of your baby's life and health. #antivax is dangerous.

Yes! My father in law is fully #vaxxed and #boosted and has never had #Covid. Even when living in a small condo with my mother in law while she had it. Thank goodness for the #vaccines!
@BishopTomBishop What part of "don't talk to me" did you not understand?
When shooters break the law it's "we have legislation and they're just going to break the law anyway, so let's do nothing."
When shooters obtain guns legally, it's "clearly laws don't stop this, so let's still do nothing."
My coworker's daughter has been on lockdown all night at #UVA & we're all at work watching the press conference about the manhunt. Thank God he's been captured. Don't talk to me about #2A. Our kids need to be safe. #GunControlNow
@njh2005 "What troubled Gilbert, who is a developmental biologist, was the assertion that 'scientists know.' 'I couldn’t say when personhood begins, but I can say with absolute certainty scientists don’t have a consensus,' he says." https://t.co/aVPdkrOeYD
@njh2005 I mentioned gun violence specifically in regards to mass shootings, and, yes, #gunviolence more broadly, but again, you're attempting to change focus. https://t.co/eBD29xqe6J
@njh2005 Again, we were talking about mass shootings. You wanting to focus on suicide and "gangs" to avoid the heartbreak of gun terrorism and dead children speaks volumes.
@njh2005 That depends on your understanding of when life begins. Conceptions? Cardiac activity? Viability? Breath? Abortion is a difficult subject with a lot of variables. I'm against inserting more parties into the decision.
@njh2005 And mass shootings, which is where we started? All of these things have guns in common, besides which, curbing gun violence can and should be a holistic movement that includes gun control & better healthcare services & probably more. Sitting on our hands isn't helping.
@njh2005 Pregnancy & childbirth are hard/life-altering. The decision to end a pregnancy should be made by the woman in consultation with her doctor. I have yet to see legislation take into account the woman's humanity or show compassion for her difficult position.
