Star Wars imagery has long been a part about discussions about vaccines…

Unfortunately, it has seeped its way into the other side too…
Begun the Vaccine Wars Has
The other side?

Yes, there are folks who are against getting kids vaccinated and protected and for some reason, they identify with the Dark Side of the Force.

Does that mean vaccine advocates are the Jedi in this scenario?
“In my experience there is no such thing as luck.”
Obi-Wan Kenobi
However this plays out, let’s just hope vaccine hesitant parents aren’t stuck on Alderan…
“Somebody has to save our skins.”
Leia Organa

How sad that you can’t stand beside people who have been injured by vaccines instead of chastising them and saying they are on the dark side. What has happened to humanity?
I didn’t say they were on the dark side…
Bob Sears is dressed as an Imperial Officer. His side kick is dressed as Darth Vader.
Coleman dresses as a Storm Trooper.
If you watch Star Wars, you know which side that equates to…
And no, I can’t stand beside folks who put misinformation on signs or any where else to scare parents away from vaccinating and protecting their kids.
…dark side joking and banter aside… In other words, when a parent has a perfectly normal, healthy, developing child who is suddenly sick or regressing, or rarely die, after vaccination, they are simply misinformed. As I said before, what has happened to humanity? (we lump pneumonia and influenza together (P&I) and simply say influenza deaths, which you and I both know are not all influenza deaths. But if a child is clearly reacting to a vaccine, there is suddenly no chance that the 2 are linked. Double standard? I think so.)
When someone has a perfectly normal, healthy child, and then the old lady down the street looks at them funny, I suppose you would call them misinformed if they came to the perfectly reasonable conclusion that that woman is a witch who must be burned, right?
