Hi Damon: My best friend is an antivaxxer (not only covid, all the vaccines). His wife is, too. They have a 9-month-old baby and they haven’t vaccinated him. I babysit for them every other weekend. Should I take the baby to get his shots without telling them?

Anonymous: My feelings on vaccinations are well-documented. But just in case you’re unfamiliar, a quick refresh:

Oh, and I’d gut him with a dull knife.
How rude
Also unethical to provide medical care to a child that is not yours
I grew when polio, chicken pox, measles, and small pox were all still rampant
Hope those parents plan on home schooling since the child won’t be able to get into any school without a vaccine record
That’s a crime.
So the babysitter knows the baby’s parents beliefs about not vaccinating their baby. Wondering if the parents inquired about the babysitter’s beliefs. If not, better hop on it quick. Interviewing/Vetting is vital up front. Whodathunk someone would consider doing this on their own volition?! If you’re worried about catching something from a 9 month old baby, then quit, puleeeez. Btw- I know of grandparents who aren’t allowed to see their grandchildren unless they are fully inoculated for the Covid Cootie. One of them just died after getting all 4 jabs. So much brainwashing and demonizing have gone on for almost 3 years. Divide and Conquer 2020...
I saw that. I was stunned, too. I didn’t grow up in the US. I had not even heard the term tetanus till I came here. I was walking somewhere my 1st semester, stepped on something that pierced my shoe and impaled me, went to the clinic, got the thing cleaned and was then told about tetanus. I got the shot and have since had it repeated. Don’t I now feel so stupid!
I looked up the information that Candace cited. It’s easy enough for anyone to find. For anyone who’s interested, look up Historical Comparisons of Morbidity and Mortality for Vaccine-Preventable Diseases in the United States. It was mind-blowing to me. https://jamanetwork.com › journals › jama › articlepdf › 209448 › joc70121_2155_2163.pdf https://jamanetwork.com › journals › jama › articlepdf › 209448 › joc70121_2155_2163.pdf
No, jackass, you don’t get the kid vaccinated behind their backs.
if you want to go to jail
Actually, tetanus is one of the few I’d have no problem getting in the event of something like a deep flesh wound.
I also had both pneumonia vaccines as with my allergies, I figured the risk from the vaccines would be less than that of a reaction to the antibiotics should I get pneumonia.
Not doing the shingles shot, though. I have heard too many bad things about it including the number of people who claim it triggered an attack of shingles instead of preventing it.
If I develop symptoms that appear to be shingles, I will get myself medical care post haste and get the anti-viral that lessens the severity of it if taken within the first 48 hours.
It’s a risk assessment decision.

Linky no worky.
“Ask Damon: Should I get my anti-vax friends’ baby vaccinated without telling them?”
OMG Are you kidding me?! Are you some kind of idiot!!?? You should never be allowed to get near a child ever again you FREAK! Get some help!
[clears throat and looks around]
ehem.... Lost my cool there.
Why I homeschooled our kids during daytime while my wife worked, and I worked a night shift job while she covered teaching them science and math in the evenings.
you wouldn’t live long if you did that my child
I would not kill him, but I would remove at least one leg below the knee, and toss him a dirty tourniquet.
Holy sh!t. Who do these people think they are? Unbelievable.
