Anti-Vaxx Woman Dresses Up As The Measles Because It's 'The Least Scary Thing,'
Anti-Vaxx Woman Dresses Up As The Measles Because Its The Least Scary Thing, Gets Schooled By Medical ProfessionalThe subreddit r/Insanepeoplefacebook really pops off this time of year, as all the crazy people youre friends with or friends of friends with start posting their Halloween costumes.
Halloween can be a fun, inventive holiday and it can also plumb the depths of human depravity. You never know what youre gonna get.
Below the womans photo is a long response form someone who is supposedly a medical professional, inviting her to check out the people suffering from measles, encephalitis and viral sepsis, who are in comas, suffering from seizures and burning fevers, and having to submit to invasive and painful procedures to survive.
The woman posted an updated status, according to a screenshot on Imgur, apologizing for seeming to mock babies killed by the measles, saying it wasnt Christ-like.

and people can develop diseases they had developed immunity towards.
I don't know how popular Orac is here, but he is a breast cancer surgeon. (His real name is David Gorski - and I'm not giving away any secrets here.)

Speaking of which, a young niece of mine, who has had here vaccinations, currently has the chicken pox. Apparently she was one of the rare ones for whom the vaccination didn't take. It happens. She has no immune system issues, so for her this is more or less just like it was back before the vaccination. The up side is that she will now be definitely immune. The down side is that she will be susceptible to shingles later on.
