Anti-Vaxxers have developed quite a reputation in the past few months for being responsible for the spread of preventable diseases like measles. You've probably heard about them.
As for this interaction, yeah it's a childish joke but you've gotta live under a rock to fall for it. And this dude did. Hook, line and sinker.
You can't cure stupid but you sure can manipulate it. This fourth year med student's classic encounter with a ridiculous anti-vax parent is all kinds of gold. They handled the situation beautifully.
Doctors of Reddit are sharing their experiences on the job with anti-vax parents. The resulting stories are all kinds of troubling. The stupid is strong with some of these parents. Let's just leave it at that.
Well that's a tense moment when you realize your success might have been influenced by your heart medication. That said, it would be the perfect excuse if he had been knowingly illegally doping. Eh, we take his word for it. Weird problem to have. Sometimes, however, people do lie to their doctors for a multitude of reasons. Here are some stories from doctors who saw right through lying patients.
Vaccines are extremely harmful to DISEASES!

This is the kind of emotionally-stirring post, centered on courage and selflessness in the face of true tragedy that has the ability to reawaken an idle faith in humanity. Seriously. It doesn't get much more powerful than this. As for the nurse, it sounds like she's since discovered word of this post, thanks to social media doing some good in the world; and she's connected with the brother who left the post on Facebook.
This former anti-vaxxer calls himself the unicorn that the internet was looking for. He then proceeds to dive into the telling of his story about being raised as an anti-vaxxer, and ultimately what forces in his life compelled him to confront whether that's what he wanted. We just ran a story yesterday about an anti-vaxxer asking one profoundly dumb question, and the even dumber comments section that ensued. So, if you're still in the mood for more anti-vaxxer madness, check that out over here!

We can get so caught up in sharing the wild times anti-vaxxers filled the internet with bizarre acts of seemingly mindless ridiculousness. Like that time we saw someone ask about an "outdoor bedroom." Yes, that happened. See here.

When asked about the dumbest interaction they've had with a patient, these folks did not let up. Stories like these kinda make it more obvious why so many people still have such a vast misunderstanding of basic medical knowledge these days. When doctors have to stress basic stuff like this, it makes you wonder how a lot of people manage to stay alive.
This rageful parent's emotional post about their daughter getting measles is as relevant a reminder to anti-vaxxers today, as it was, when it was posted back in 2015. The news is riddled with accounts of a measles outbreak, and the anti-vaxxers are being called out with renewed passion for their part in the upsurge of cases. Maybe this post will make a splash in the social media space, and inspire further discussion about the impacts of vaccination, or NOT vaccinating your children.
