@Battytaddy @LibertyUnlocked @robgoldbergo @sew_hey @JillFilipovic My unvaccinated, unmasked kids do it all. Sports, school dances… every social activity you can think of. It’s great. I love that it causes you distress too. I want you to wear a mask, so me and my children can all point and laugh at the crazy lefty.

I haven’t yet been able to bring myself to read this, but if we’re gonna do this insane thing where we do not live in a society and instead allow “personal choice” in things like vaccination and owning guns then it needs to come with personal responsibility. Your unvaccinated kid infects a baby, you can pay the medical bills and emotional damages to that baby’s parents (and your own health insurance should take vaccination status into account). You want to own a gun, ok, if you don’t secure it and a kid gets ahold of it, you bear the legal burdens. Jail, bankruptcy, there are may options commensurate with the damage you’ve chosen to cause.
The New York Times@nytimes

In Opinion Rebecca Archer’s daughter died of measles that she contracted before she was old enough to be vaccinated. “Parents must realize that refusing vaccinations doesn’t just put your own child at risk. It puts other children at risk,” Archer writes. nyti.ms/3QizMM9

@DanTheM76089359 @FoundationDads Dan, get a grip buddy. Things change and that’s ok. Their friendship is incredibly sweet and it’s kinda cool to see things come full circle.

@sew_hey @FoundationDads The Boomer hippie lie of "they married too young". Whites have married young since recorded time began and have always kept their families together. Starting in the 50's and 60's divorce rates began climbing so Boomers made excuses like what you just did.

Divorce means you lay a generational curse on your family until someone with more integrity comes along to stop the cycle. Here are 10 uncomfortable truths about divorce: 1. Divorce, whatever the reason, is never to be celebrated. It is always a multi-layered, multi-generational tragedy. It will affect your children no matter their age. And it will affect your grandchildren. And your great-grandchildren. It flows downhill. 2. A divorce will not lessen the fighting or strife in your life. It does nothing but bundle your pain, multiply it by 10, and strap it to the backs of your children. They'll carry it with them for the rest of their lives. 3. Your children will put on a good face, and you'll be able to pretend everything is ok, that you "made the right decision." But they're not ok. You forced them to take responsibility for your own selfishness and failure. 4. A divorce is a murder. The husband and wife are "one flesh," and destroying it kills something that was alive and whole. Dismembering it. You may think you are gaining your life back, but you are really losing it. Your kids know the truth, however. They feel the death. 5. Divorce is contagious. Be careful who your friends are. Be careful who your wife's friends are. A divorce in one group of friends can start a slow-motion chain reaction. If you think it could never happen to you, you are the most vulnerable. 6. A divorce will go off like a bomb in a child's life, no matter his or her age. Even if they are 30+ years old and out of the house, they will feel its ripple effects. It will weigh them down. You can't contain the damage. Wisdom and maturity offer bandages but not immunity. 7. A divorce won't allow you to escape from a key source of your pain and problems. Because wherever you go, there you still are. You can't escape yourself. The risk of divorce is much higher for someone who's already divorced once. 8. Divorce makes literally *everything* harder for your descendants. It will haunt them. Children of divorced parents: - have a 35-60% higher rate of divorce themselves - are twice as likely to drop out of high school - have a greater chance of living in poverty 9. Divorce also takes a hammer to the foundations of civilization. The more divorce, the less stability. The more divorce, the fewer men take on additional responsibility. And the more divorce, the more divorce in the future. It makes the slope steeper and more slippery. And the 10th truth, the most tragic one of them all...👇

@Profe_Quiroga @theemmacasey Yes they are. They think they can single-handedly birth a community, and they don’t know how to make friends. Then they are lonely. It is SAD.

It's crazy how having only one child just erases a whole extended family. All it takes is your only child marrying another only child and all the sudden BAM no aunts no cousins no uncles. I know kids like this!

@Coleidoscopes Most cases of cerebral palsy are caused by developmental events well before birth. (Source: Mayo Clinic) Also, it is not nice to sh*t post about disabilities.

Doctors are so gross. Did you know that the majority of cerebral palsy cases are caused by doctor error during birth, but you cannot have your child diagnosed with it for at least 2 years, and 2 years is all you have to sue a doctor who caused cerebral palsy? They're out here causing brain damage every single day without consequence and have the audacity to come here and virtue vomit on twitter about a child they know nothing about to this day.
Dr. Kipkoech Cheruiyot@kipkoecheruiyot

Some time ago, I begged someone to consent to a cesarean section. There was a clear fetal indication for CS. She declined. She ultimately gave birth normally, but the baby didn’t score well. She even celebrated that she had been coerced into a CS but ultimately gave birth normally, that is what she told fellow mothers in labour. A year later, I met her, the child hasn’t even sat without support. I felt sad. I couldn’t even talk with her. Some things drain you emotionally.

@sallybeth0 @Coleidoscopes Yes, birth injuries happen, but the vast majority of CP cases are developmental. (Source, Mayo Clinic.) In our case it was a fetal cerebral hemorrhage between 26-28 weeks gestation, an incidental finding visible on fetal ultrasound during routine growth monitoring for IUGR.

@sew_hey @Coleidoscopes Mine family member was diagnosed at 9 months and it was definitely due to an event at birth. I know many others with CP due to birth injury because of the support community.

@LibertyUnlocked @JillFilipovic Infants cannot wear a mask. Measles was largely eliminated. Unfortunately herd immunity slipped away. Refusing vaccination (or simply failing to vaccinate) is a personal choice with public consequences. Everyone should be vaccinated for measles.

@zela_herane @kipkoecheruiyot Same, I recoiled and cried, but ultimately it was the best choice for reasons too long for Twitter. Once you have the baby safely in your arms, it matters not how they arrived! My son too would not have survived. Instead he’s a brilliant, healthy little boy!

@kipkoecheruiyot A month ago my baby was breech, I had 2 weeks to process my denial for CS. Needless to say I signed the consent and the cord was double coiled around the neck during birth. I would have killed my baby had I insisted on V-birth. Doctors are to be respected.

@kipkoecheruiyot As someone with a loved one with cerebral palsy, I’ve been growing uneasy with the trend to minimize risks of ‘natural birth’ at all costs. Any doctor or mom who brings up adverse outcomes is accused of ‘fear-mongering.’ You win some, you lose some I guess. The child pays. 😔

@AlaTaiwanStair @v_j_freeman I watched my in-laws die alone in their nursing home. They had three successful sons, all very “busy”. Were it not for me and another daughter-in-law they would have been completely ignored. These sons weren’t estranged, they were just disinterested. This is not uncommon.

I listened to this exact cope from a dozen people who are all now 65+ The ones who have kids are unquestionably in a safer and better life place now. Everyone who divorced is miserable if they didn't manage to remarry early enough. I was a frequent visitor to my grandma's nursing home. The depression amongst those who are alone without family is horrific. Not saying it is going to be that way, but life takes no prisoners.

@raifordpalmer I love my husband, and his two brothers are decent guys, but they pretty much left their parents to die alone in a nursing home. I had to drag my husband to spend an hour twice a year. And no, he had no animosity toward his parents. This is not uncommon.

The Divorce Lawyer - Raiford Dalton Palmer
I’ve told this story before - my grandmother sent me to the home of a dear friend, who had become a widow in her 70s. No kids, she and her husband had a fabulous time pursuing career, hobbies, travel. Then as their friends died off they got more and more isolated. When her husband died, she had no one but a caretaker to make her meals. A nephew was going to help her with her finances and she was terrified that he was taking advantage of her. I went to the house to meet the guy and the woman. I’ve never seen a sadder scene. She was sitting alone in the corner of a beautiful room, in a beautiful house, surrounded by all the things they accumulated. She took me through the house to show me all of their stuff. Her artwork. His writings and his office, still left as it was the day he died. And she had no one. I am sure she would have given anything to have children and grandchildren to fill her life up. We have a hard time thinking long term. We need to think long term much more often.
Uzi@UziCryptoo

Friend of mine is 35 years old, married and doesn’t want kids. His household income is roughly $300k/yearly and his house is nearly paid off. They invest a good portion of their income for retirement, take multiple yearly vacations and live a nice life. I think people like this are going to regret not having kids in their future. One day when he’s old all he will have to look back on is the random stuff he bought and wasted money on. Instead of putting that money towards having kids and building a family he’s choosing consumerism. This just seems so wasteful and boring to me.

@RealBlackIrish @m_scottie57 @SusanWa02526665 No, I’m worried about them living with you. You are clearly very angry, deeply unwell, and chronically online. Surely they deserve a better parent, and you deserve mental health support. Your twitter feed is a cesspool. Truly.

I’m not selfish at all. I’m a realist. And, I am a realist who hates gaslighters like you. Maskholes in 2020-21: “You’re not allowed to have personal choice! Wear the mask! You are killing somebody’s grandma! Reeee!!” Maskholes in 2026: “Why are you making fun of me for wearing a mask? It’s my body, my choice!! You don’t have to wear one if you don’t want to. Nobody is forcing you to.” Also, if the vaccine worked and you were “fully protected” (remember that term?), then you need not worry about Hillbilly Bob in his overalls not wearing one. Everyone like you should be laughed at, mocked, and ridiculed into silence for the rest of your pathetic lives.
trash@IamTheTrashMan

Because you were putting others at risk you shellfish asshole. You’re in a grocery store with people that may have significant health issues but your “freedom” was more important. Covid killed over 1,000,000 Americans. It was spread my respiratory droplets. So during the worst waves, yes, wear a mask and quit being a douche bag.
