Anti-vaxxer nutcase writes a childrens' book...
That is chock-full of bullshit.
Anti-Vax Children's Book Pretends Having Measles Is Just -- Marvelous!
I'm convinced that anyone who buys this book is too stupid to have children. Anyone who thinks it somehow mitigates the impact of not vaccinating their kids ought to sign up to be euthanized.
Addicting Info:
While a measles outbreak grips the US and health professionals seek to stem the tide, anti-vaxxers have published a book to convince children that the deadly disease is “marvelous.”Melanie’s Marvelous Measles is available on Amazon, and sets out to persuade 4-10-year-old children that the measles is actually pretty fun, has no serious possible side-effects, and is something kids should look forward to getting.The book includes such inspired medical advice as :
•measles is easily avoided by drinking melon juice
•vaccines weaken the human immune system,
•getting measles strengthens it (as does melon juice).
A brief overview of the ridiculous cast of characters in this poorly written and down-right dangerous piece of anti-vaccination propaganda is as follows:
•The main character Melanie was vaccinated but got measles anyway, the “worst case” the doctor had ever seen. So she runs around with a big grin, full of energy, showing off her cool red dots.
•Melanie’s mom responds to her daughter getting measles (in a classroom that apparently has a 50% vaccination rate) by exclaiming: “so much for vaccination!”
•Melanie’s un-vaccinated classmate Tina is protected from measles by all the melon and carrot juice she drinks. This makes her sad, because she’d love to catch the measles.
•Then there is Jared, the baddie. He’s a boy in class who believes in vaccination. He is a mean, eats junk food, and comes down with the measles anyway (because vaccines don’t work, Jared).
(In the comments...)
From the third page of the book:
Stephanie Messenger lies in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, and devotes her life to educating people about vaccine dangers and supporting families in their natural health choices. She has the support of many natural therapists and natural-minded doctors.
Melanie's Marvelous Measles takes children on a journey to learn about the ineffectiveness of vaccinations and to know they don't have to be scared of childhood illnesses, like measles and chicken pox.
