MOM JAILED FOR NOT GETTING SON VACCINATED 'DEVASTATED' AFTER BOY'S FATHER HAS HIM IMMUNIZED AGAINST HER WISHES

A mother who served jail time after refusing a judge’s order to vaccinate her son was distraught to find the boy’s father had the shots administered to the child when he had custody, according to a Wednesday court hearing.

Rebecca Bredow, 40, of Ferndale, Michigan, opposed the child being immunized. After she defied the judge’s order, she served a five-day jail term, according to USA Today. James Horne, the child’s dad, had the shots administered on Monday, when he had custody.

"It was the worst five days of my life, except for the fact that I just found out that he was vaccinated, and I'm not going to get him back today," Bredow said of the vaccinations and her jail term. "It's been a rough few days to say the least."

Bredow and Horne split in 2008, before their son was born. In the intervening time, Bredow had physical custody, while Horne took charge of the boy on alternate weekends. But on Wednesday, Judge Karen McDonald approved a change that would see the two parents share equal custody. Bredow’s attorney, Steven Vitale, said he would object to the change within the 21-day deadline set by the judge.

1. Good.

Fuck these anti-vax kooks.

[Orrex]

3. Anti-vax assholes will tout her as a martyr in their fight against Big Pharma.

If they don't want to vaccinate themselves, then fine. Nature will sort it out.

But if they want to abuse their children by denying them vaccinations? For the most fucked up, pseudoscientific bullshit reasons? Then you're correct: fuck them.

[Dave Starsky]

9. And there are people who literally CAN'T be vaccinated.

Due to immune system issues, allergies, or whatever. They rely upon the herd immunity of all of the rest of us who are committed to the social contract to save them from dying.

So yes, fuck them. Three times over.

[Orrex]

11. Absolutely

It's all "me me me" and it's all based in bullshit, while they ignore the real harm they risk inflicting upon (or exacerbating for) innocent bystanders.

[Orrex]

2. I believe that she was in fact jailed for violating a court order

Beyond that, I have no sympathy for child abusers. To hell with her.

[DonViejo]

4. You're correct, just like the article reports

[Orrex]

8. Pity that the headline fucks it up, then.

[gratuitous]

5. Dad had your son inoculated against disease, not executed

Get over yourself, Rebecca.

[Aristus]

6. Will she be just as 'devastated' when her son doesn't get autism as a result?

She undoubtedly wants validation more than she wants a healthy son.

[Orrex]

10. He's a bit old for that now

So when the vaccines don't give him autism, she (and her fellow anti-vax zealots) will still claim that vaccines cause autism in infants.

12. There's always hope for that phony baloney backward walking disease.

[Not Ruth]

7. And she will need to live every day with the knowledge that her child was vaccinated

[Gothmog]

13. This lady is a nut case

[mcar]

14. Dad may have saved his son's life

and those of others.

[n2doc]

15. She needs this on her door

[Dr. Strange]

16. That's horrible.

Poor kid is now stuck going through life being protected from things like polio.

I hope the dad can live with that on his conscience.

[lostnfound]

17. I had tears in my eyes when he got his polio shot

Because my mother had polio back in 1930, and walked with a limp her whole life. I was happy and grateful.

But I also witnessed my son stumble around and look glassy-eyed and unresponsive after his MMR shot. He stopped using words for a year afterward. It was very frightening.

I believe in science, and I believe in the reality that we are all unique individuals. Immune systems need to be studied.

18. The mother is a fucking moron.
