Honorable Mention: Sometimes Facebook comments are the greatest. There are many, many more where these came from. I need to get this for my daughter, who is due April 21. You know things are getting serious when Nurse Ratched gets involved. A sad commentary about the state of affairs in 2019. The Most Interesting Man in the World has thoughts on vaccines. This meme is available on a T-shirt, and the proceeds go toward a very worthy cause.
Also, peanut-free school zones don't work. Impoverished people in developing countries have more sense than rich people. So, let's celebrate the plethora of pro-vaccine memes and cartoons with a selection of our favorites shown below: It's simply a matter of reality that memes with funny pictures and clever text go viral, while the latest research paper from the Journal of the American Medical Association does not. For people who reject facts, an appeal to emotion might work. In the science wars, some positions are so well-supported by mountains of data ("vaccines are safe and effective"), that every literate adult should embrace them. But that's okay hypocrisy is misunderstood. Now, having said that, I'm going to praise memes, the Internet version of a bumpersticker. In summary, bumperstickers represent the shallow, narcissistic nature of American political discourse. I hate bumperstickers for two reasons: (1) I do not want to know every political opinion held by the people driving in front of me on I-5 and (2) They often boil down extremely complex topics into ridiculously oversimplified mottos.
