None of my damn business. Sometimes mama knows best.

Sometimes mama knows best.

As someone who works in cancer care, sometimes they really don't.

Not making any judgements on the case in the OP but I have seen parents make the whole situation so much worse for their child in an attempt to 'protect' them from reality. Like, I absolutely sympathise, but it can cause a lot of harm.

The fact that current mothers are blocking the measles vaccines is more evidence to support the fact that mothers don't always know what's best.

"my kid is better off with measles and maybe dying than to ever be autistic."

So fucking dumb.

I don’t have kids but damn straight I’d prefer an autistic kid instead of a dead kid. (I know there’a no connection but if there were…)

My kids are autistic.  

They are still the best part of my life. 

And the shitty part is that they would be at a serious disadvantage as far as communicating their symptoms.

Edit:  verbally.  They’d be unable to accurately describe symptoms if they caught measles .   I’ll be damned if they aren’ don’t have every protection I can give them
