This exchange on a news story about the recommendation that pregnant women get vaccinated....a group of 'Facebook moms' were urging pregnant women to go against the recommendations and NOT get vaccinated-claiming NATURAL immunity was better for the baby- whatever the hell that means... of course they all claimed to have 'done their research'... And their well-reasoned response... sigh <img src="https://www.habitablezone.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/sigh7.png" alt="" width="500"/> I just can’t reason with these people…
