all Bucky wanted to do was get some more tea and now this. Thanks a lot, Sam. You had to fuckin’ tell him, you ass.
Well here’s an excellent example of something that Steve Rogers would 100% NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS EVER DO.
I have a pretty firm conviction that Steve is smart enough to realize that people don’t just decide not to vaccinate their kids for the hell of it. They don’t make that decision capriciously, or because they are stupid. I think Steve would understand that YELLING PROFANITY AT PEOPLE IS BASICALLY THE WORST WAY TO CONVINCE THEM THAT YOU HAVE A STRONG POINT THAT IS SUPPORTED BY SCIENCE.
I support vaccination. I think every human being who physically can be vaccinated should be vaccinated on an appropriate schedule. But I also want to be completely clear: I do not support this practice of shouting at people who chose not to vaccinate themselves or their children, and I really don’t think Cap would either. I do not support the practice of bullying or browbeating anyone into accepting medical treatments that make them uncomfortable.
If you find yourself shouting into the internet about how everyone who chooses not to vaccinate their children is just stupid, then I strongly urge you to take a few minutes and at least attempt to empathize. Please consider what it would be like to have an experience that makes it difficult or impossible for you to trust medical professionals. In fact, in this scenario, you’re a young parent, so maybe you should imagine that this experience happened when you were giving birth (ie, during the most painful and vulnerable event that you will ever endure). Would complete strangers yelling at you on the internet really help?
Do you really think that a terrible and unfortunately large number of people are choosing not to vaccinate SOLELY because they’re gullible idiots? Even if that were the case, do you really think bullying them like this would make them less gullible and idiotic? Is that really what Steve Rogers would do?
bro. bro….
“Do you really think that a terrible and unfortunately large number of people are choosing not to vaccinate SOLELY because they’re gullible idiots?”
…………………..yes?
people being gullible idiots by the thousands is not uncommon — this is the entire reason snopes.com exists. i’m sure you and i have both been gullible idiots in the past.
the difference is that our gullibility probably didn’t cause ERADICATED ILLNESSES TO REVIVE. the vaccination superstitious bullshit is still an incredibly common set of beliefs, and if people need to be browbeaten into not jeopardizing their own and everyone else’s kids wellbeing, so be it.
people’s, children’s, fucking lives are in danger. let the artist draw their goddamn cap comic in peace, jesus christ
Not only that, but many people don’t vaccinate because they believe vaccines are linked to autism and they geniunely believe their kid would be better off dead than autistic. I have seriously seen that exact sentiment – and worse – on message boards. Like, this year. It’s a huge, seemingly never-ending problem.
Go to town on them, Cap.
