Kat Von D Plans to Let Her Child Die From a Preventable Illness

Getting your child vaccinated is very important if you want that child to live. There’s not really a nice way to say that. Not only does not vaccinating your child make them literally much more likely to die, it also increases the odds that the entire human race is wiped off the face of the planet by some mutated strain of a disease that had been nearly eradicated. But doesn’t a Facebook post by some dumbass celebrity talking about Indigo Children know more than the consensus of the entire medical community?

Well, Kat Von D seems to think so, and according to a new Instagram post, she’s willing to bet the life of her child and everyone else’s children on it.

And, if you don’t know what it’s like to have the entire world openly criticize, judge, throw uninformed opinions, and curse you – try being an openly pregnant vegan on Instagram, having a natural, drug-free home birth in water with a midwife and doula, who has the intention of raising a vegan child, without vaccinations.

Let’s just take a moment and think about the irony of a woman who’s not planning on having her children vaccinated complaining about “uninformed opinions.” That’s like Dane Cook complaining about overrated hack comedians or Jordan B. Peterson ranting about having to deal with too many muppet-voiced misogynist shitheads.

My point being: I already know what it’s like to make life choices that are not the same as the majority. So your negative comments are not going influence my choices – actual research and educating myself will – which i am diligently doing.

It’s funny how people who are against vaccinations always talk about “educating yourself.” You mean with reams of scientific research, expert opinions, decades of proven results, and near-unanimous consensus of the entire medical community? That kind of education? Or do you mean ten minutes of listening to Alex Jones and Bobby Kennedy Jr.? Because I kind of think it’s the latter.

Even though I don’t have kids and don’t have any plans to have kids, I did once take the opportunity to ask a doctor about mercury in vaccines. Before I could even finish my question, he cut me off and said “Yeah, mercury doesn’t cause autism,” To which I replied I knew that and said I was thinking about mercury poisoning. He seemed taken aback, as if the only question he’d ever been asked about this was about the link to autism (which is non-existent) and never just about the fact mercury is, on the whole, not good for you. He finally said “Oh, it’s harmless in such a tiny amount, there’s more mercury in a can of tuna,” and I said “I see, cool,” and that was that. Regardless of such, the US actually removed thiomersal from most vaccines almost 20 years ago, so it’s kind of a moot point.

Look, my job is mostly making fun of celebrities, and there’s a good reason that I do it; most celebrities are fucking morons and people still take celebrity’s opinions on things more seriously than actual experts. You’ve seen Keeping Up With the Kardashians, right? And if you’re a little older, maybe you remember a reality show called The Simple Life? Now think of all the celebrities who talk about what geniuses Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton are. The things that make you famous in our world generally aren’t things that make your opinions in any way valid. And if you need proof that celebrities are idiots, Kat Von D is acting like everyone else is stupid for telling her not to let her baby die of a preventable illness.
