So I probably have whooping cough

[attackfish]

I just did field experience in an elementary school that had it going around (thank you anti-vaxxers) and I had never completed my vaccination schedule for it since I reacted so badly to the first shot, and I have all the right symptoms.  I feel miserable and gross, and have an appointment with my NP this afternoon for final diagnosis.  I'm coughing until I can't breathe, and I think everybody should pamper me and write me fic, you know, to keep my spirits up.

Also, I'm probably never going to get to see my baby niece again.  Damn it.  Good thing is, I've been staying away from her because I was worried I'd pick something up during field experiece. Turns out I did.

EDIT: Diagnosis confirmed.  I have whooping cough.  Big whoop.

Oh yes, better dead, than alive but an icky autistic person. My precious baby is too good to be *gasp* disabled, even if in reality there is no evidence of any link between autism and vaccines, and the study that proported to show one was found not only to be wrong but fraudulent.

I don't see how any decent human being can think this is okay. This isn't a matter of personal decisions, it's child endangerment.

(Still on the Iroh facepalm, but it's just such an appropriate image.)

It's selfish desregard for human life. There is no excuse.

It's a perfect image.
