Wanna read a story about how anti-vaxxers are frauds?
My fiancee and I are members of private groups for people who have lost children to a genetic disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). The disease spawns from two parents who are carriers passing the gene to their child, and it acts similarly to ALS, but in children. There are several pictures of kids in specialized strollers, breathing tubes, feeding tubes, and other photos (along with some happier ones - it is not all gloom and doom).
A photo of a girl after her checkup, with said tubes and in her lay-flat stroller, was stolen by an Instagram page called Stop Vaccination. The page is purportedly run by the wife of an oncologist who claims that she has learned all of the secrets of the medical community and has vast medical knowledge. She claims in her caption that the child was perfectly healthy at birth and the disease was the result of the vaccinations that she received during her two month checkup. Obviously, her caption is a blatant lie, as explained earlier.
Not, this story remains apocryphal to all of you, because the mother whose picture was stolen has made all of her photos private as a result, and even the Stop Vaccination admin has made her group private as a result of the uproar from our community, so I cannot link anything to back my story. However, I would swear on anything holy that this all just happened, and that this movement is dangerous for the continued lies that they spread.
