Darwinism in Action

All parents who do not get their children vaccinated against childhood diseases because of a completely discredited, erroneous, conspiratorial belief that vaccines cause autism are all awarded unofficial Darwin Awards for doing their best to remove their already-spawned genetic material from the pool!

In Britain a widely publicized — and since discredited — research paper published in 1998 started a scare over the safety of the vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella, drawing a potential link to autism. Though the premise of the research did not concern thimerosal, vaccination rates plunged in Britain. Over the next two to six years, outbreaks of measles soared in Britain and Ireland, causing at least three deaths and hundreds of children to be hospitalized.

The world is already grossly overpopulated — and mostly by stupid people — so, to all those parents out there who aren’t getting their kids vaccinated against deadly childhood diseases:

THANKS! AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
