My SO and I are not having kids because we don’t want them.
That’s it. I’m sick of explaining why to people. Now we just repeat “We don’t want them”.

We don’t want them.

Vacines work, there is countless information on it and its well studied. People always find these obscure aspects of vaccination to attack and it takes a bit to debunk but they are always wrong. I find this week in virology (podcast) episode 496 is useful to explain most answers but they just keep looking for s**t that isn’t there.
Edit: get your flu shot, 80,000 people died last year from the flu, in america alone. The flu shot isn’t perfect but it does decrease the chance you get the flu. Even if you still get the flu the flu shot help shorten the duration of the illness, and makes it a lot less contagious. The shorter and less contagious it is mean the less people will die from the illness. You Getting the flu shot protects the elderly and the young by preventing you spreading it to them directly or indirectly. Save a life get the flu shot.

haddock420: What really p***es me is the whole “If it’s difficult to pronounce, it’s not good for you” thing that was popular a while ago. What an arbitrary way to choose your diet.
Climate Change / Global Warming is not about ‘Saving Planet’ its actually about saving Humanity. Our planet will be fine.
anonymous: That and explaining the difference between climate and weather. Every time we have subzero temps I hear people say things like “how can anyone actually think the earth is getting warmer”. I don’t even bother to explain anymore. Trying to educate the willfully ignorant is silly.
