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.

    Happened with a lot of that group during the pandemic. Loved one would die, but they’d still bitch about the vaccine.

    Also, just a heads up if you care. You wrote “partying” when you meant “paying”. I’m pretty sure.

      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

      Thanks, and yeah I remember. One older guy was dying in the hospital because his lungs were practically melting and he was asked if he regretted not getting the vaccine. He replied that not only did he not regret it, but that he’d do the same thing again given the chance. He literally died rather than change his mind. It’s the definition of insanity.
