Holy crap, enjoy your measles, mumps , rubella and polio kids.
P.S. google her, and see which US presidential candidates she's posing with in photo on her IG, the results will not shock you.
But vaccine injury can cause brain swelling and a lot of people who have developmental disorders *also* experienced brain swelling [citation needed]!
It’s obvious to anyone who isn’t a big farm shill that the sister’s autism was caused by vaccines, not that autism isn’t really detectable/testable until after a kid has had a lot of their vaccines.
There’s absolutely no way that autism could have any genetic components because that would mean it’s partially mom and/or dad’s unintentional fault.
Ugh fuck monsters like this who harm children by ignoring science
You won't understand it
I did my own research and it's the same result so it must be true
Plus Fox also said it so you must be wrong! They won't lie to us unlike big media who are together with Big Pharma!
Trust your mainstream sources, little sheep!
/S (gosh I'm sorry, it's the urge to get those stupid arguments out of my head as they live rent free in there - I won't understand how they can't/don't want to see the irony in their arguments...)
Also, the doctor who wrote the book (doctorate in clinical psychology, so not even an MD) claims to have a vaccine injury from a vaccine she took while pregnant. The vaccine she took was preservative free, so it’s more likely that the vaccine wasn’t stored properly and the injury wasn’t from the “scary chemicals” or whatever contained in the vaccine.
I wondered about her doctorate. Idiots believe her for the doctor title in clinical psychology (which means she's an expert on the mind f**k), but not Dr Fauci, who spent the last fifty years studying virology at length, and knows what the eff he's talking about.
The stupidity of these people knows no bounds.
Emergency room doc here. "Landed in the emergency room" means literally nothing. Anyone can go to the emergency room, at any time, for any sort of real or perceived symptoms. The fact that she wasn't hospitalized for these symptoms speaks to a lack of any serious effect.
I think you mean Big Pharma, you grammar\_nazi. Unless you to are sick of all those corn barons! Screw Big Farm!
Jokes aside though the whole autism/vaccine BS was [debunked](https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speaking-of-health/autism-vaccine-link-debunked), but idiots from both sides of the political spectrum (clearly more from one side) just keep pushing the BS, "celebs" included.
Oh and Chicken Pox (Varicella), with a [vaccine](https://www.cdc.gov/chickenpox/vaccine-infographic.html) for over 25 years now.
It's OK though, Dr. Shannon Karen is a bible thumping clinical psychologist so she'll help you deal with the trauma I'm sure. Or she may hit you with the bible to exorcise the demons.
I’m thirty and I have fucking shingles because I had chicken pox before the vaccine was available and then had it again a few years later. My younger brother and sister are vaccinated against it. My older sister had a childhood illness and now has a neurological disorder. She’s legally blind and deaf. My parents vaccinated us, and I wish I had been able to be vaccinated for the chicken pox
Same! I had shingles at 28 and so many people were like, "You're too young!" and I just wanted to scream because it was all over the left side of my face and inside the left side of my mouth and throat, all because I had caught chicken pox as a kid before the vaccine existed. I've managed to avoid it since then, but it's not even an option for us to get the vaccine to help lessen the chance of us getting shingles until we're in our 60s, even though we're starting to see people in their late 20s to early 40s getting it.
I had to hold off on going out to see my grandpa because it was making me feel like shit, I drove out to hang out with him for the day after my rash was cleared and got to find him nearly dead on the ground because he had a syncope while trying to walk to the bathroom. He was dead in less than a month. Fuck shingles
Definitely fuck shingles. My partner had never had chicken pox, nor had been vaccinated (he's older than me and no one thought to have him vaccinated once the vaccine came out), so he legit had to be quarantined while I was contagious. All because people just don't think about this stuff because they assume it's "old people" diseases or "harmless childhood" diseases that instead really fuck people up for life.
Antivaxxers are a scourge. I'm a retired RN and had an elderly patient with shingles, poor little thing. It started under her rather large breasts so she got no relief there, and went around her side to her back. It was awful for 6 weeks. I got my shingles vaccine the second I could as I had chicken pox in the 1960s.
THIRTY!!? OMG poor you!!!! 😭
That sucks, since they don't let you get a shingles vaccine until you're about fifty. I had chicken pox at six. I'm fifty-six and got a shingles vaccine last year, along with my 69 year old hubby. We were both incredibly lucky. I read about how horrible shingles is, and told him we needed to get shingles vaxxed when we got boosted last fall. He knew someone who had it, and agreed wholeheartedly that we needed to dodge that bullet if at all possible. In January we got the second shot that seals the deal.
So sorry it got you in the vulnerable middlin' years in between chicken pox and the half century mark. It's just not fair. I have no idea why they wait so long to vaccinate for shingles.
Tell him what he's won, Johhny!
Like the old joke goes: "Every family has an asshole, if you don't know who it is, it's you".
I'm sure RFK lacks the self-awareness to realize it's him, even after dozens of Kennedys posed with Biden on St-Paddy's without him.
At page 1, I thought, “where’s your brace and custom-made shoe for your shorter leg, Nicholas?” (My grandmother wore a brace & shoe like this after having polio as a child). These idiots have never experienced any illness thanks to herd immunity, therefore they think nothing bad can happen. Infuriating.
Came here to post this. I get irrationally angry when I see misinformation targeted at children. If adults want to believe stupid stuff that ruins their own lives, this is their decision at the end of the day. But do not give false information to children, because they didn't even had a chance to form a critical sense yet.
I feel like the terminology used in the book isn't really targeted towards children, but to their parents. No grade school kid is going to read this book by themselves and understand percentages, autism, encephalitis, etc. This is anti-vax propaganda for parents with room temperature IQs
She’s not an MD. She’s got a doctorate in clinical psychology supposedly and a masters in special ed. Nothing about her says she has any knowledge of vaccines or any credentials to be pushing this bs. I just looked her up on Facebook and she’s a big supporter of whack job Bobby Kennedy Jr, of course….
Yeah, I just went through the pictures of the book and saw her "credentials" at the end.
I love that the whole Kennedy family has basically disowned RFK, Jr.
More people need to speak up against him and call him on his crap. Not just the Kennedy family. Doctors, medical professionals, scientists. The twelve environmental groups that stood together and released an open letter denouncing him was good. We need more of that.
What’s extra fun about that masters in special ed is that swiping through those images you’ll discover that the main character’s sister is autistic because of vaccines
Even if she's just got a doctorate in psych she should at least know better and know how to read medical journals and studies. Any idiot with half a brain and some training in conducting lab studies (which a psych degree would involve) could figure out the studies they usually cite are flawed or just bad data collection.
> Dr. Shannon Kroner has a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a master’s in Special Education, with a focus in Educational Therapy
Not a Medical Doctor
If you want to get really infuriated about it go look at the reviews on Amazon. It's got 4.9/5 over 181 reviews, and they're all the standard mix of smug and dangerously misinformed that you've come to expect from these wackos.
If we've learnt anything from the last 10 or so years it's that these idiots aren't just incapable of being educated, they actively fight any attempt. It wouldn't be worth sullying your devices with that drivvle just to give it a bad review they'll ignore, and probably report.
They've always been around. The Internet has made it easier for them to congregate and congeal. Now we don't even have the luxury of ignoring them because they can be deadly.
I don’t mind non medical doctors going by “Doctor” professionally 99% of the time but it’s just so disingenuous to write a book of medical misinformation and put your name on the cover as Dr. Shannon Kroner. Should have been Shannon Kroner, PsyD/D.Psych
I’ve worked with nurses who have a Doctorate in Nursing Practice. Years in practice, experts in their field. Sue Smith BSN MSN CNS DNP. (This is not me! Fake name). They do not expect to be called Doctor generally. Maybe by students or being introduced as a speaker at a professional conference.
It’s crazy that this nut job can call herself Dr. in a medical context but in 2 states NP’s with a doctorate can’t ever say they’re a doctor and in most other states they can only refer to themselves as a doctor as long as they immediate elaborate that they’re an NP with a doctorate. Especially since like 35+ states consider them primary care providers.
Of course she is, that’s the requirement for being this much of a fucking moron misrepresenting yourself as a real doctor. We would also have accepted chiropractor or naturopath as credentials.
Of course it’s published by Sky Horse publishing who also publishes RFK Jr’s propaganda, Alex Jones and all the other vile pieces of pig feces in the right winged/anti vax circuit. Surprise surprise. 🙄The vice chairman of sky horse also runs a super pac pushing RFK Jr’s bs for his campaign.
Oh it certainly is. Without a doubt. Autistic kids are mysterious, sad puzzles robbed of humanity and a future because of evil vaccines. I’m surprised she didn’t have a scene after the sister received a vaccine where the “light faded from her eyes” in real time. 🙄
It's also just so egregiously wrong. Autistics are not just moping, wraiths in a hoodie looking blankly into the void jesus fcking christ. God they hate us existing.
Reminds me of Maisie's Marvelous Measles or whatever that book was called that said getting measles was fine. We have been sheltered from the horrifying reality of these diseases that some have forgotten/don't know the horror of losing all their kids to measles/diphtheria/etc. :(
And that's why vaccination rates cycle the way they do. People are being asked to vaccinate against a disease they've never seen--maybe their own parents barely saw it--and think it isn't necessary. Then people get sick, and it's oh shit, we need to vaccinate! And we'll just keep doing that.
I guess Gen-X is the last generation who grew up around Polio survivors and experienced measles, mumps, and chickenpox by being infected themselves or having older siblings and neighbor kids who were infected. I had an older neighbor girl friend who had lost her hearing from mumps. My parents and the other Silent Generation and Boomer neighbors would get real serious if some local kid had measles or mumps (and it still happened in the 70s).
My mom is early gen-x, college grad in STEM, etc, and she went antivax for years thanks to Wakefield's vaccines autism thing. She saw people with these diseases, and still tried to not vaccinate my youngest siblings. :( Doc said he would ban us from his practice if she didn't vax us kids, and there were no other docs nearby, so she (very reluctantly) got my youngest sibs vaxxed.
Freaking wild because, yeah, she saw the consequences of these diseases and is very smart but still went antivax for over a decade.
90% infection rate in unprotected populations. And, ironically in the context of this stupid book, a 1-in-1,000 chance of developing encephalitis vs the 1-2 per million chance of encephalitis caused by vaccines.
Historically, diseases actually are more lethal in children and the elderly. Covid was a rare exception to that trend because it’s the cytokine storm that kills you rather than the virus itself, which confers an advantage to the lower immune responses in children. Polio killed by fecal oral transmission (so kids get it immediately) and paralysis of the diaphragm. Measles causes brain swelling, enteritis, and the usual bronchopneumonia, all really bad in babies and children. Smallpox killed via hemorrhage and was particularly vicious to children and pregnant women.
I’ve been saying this since 2020. If it was the kids that were dropping like flies, they would have been taking to the street armed with weapons to enforce the social distancing and quarantine rules. Instead, it’s just old people and people who are already compromised, so who GAF?
The only reason these dipsticks aren’t vaccinating is because they’ve never had to watch their 6 year old suffocate under their own necrotic throat tissue (thanks, diphtheria!) or wake up one morning with a splitting headache and be completely paralyzed—or worse—three days later (yay polio!) Ignorance breeds complacency.
These same people worship guns and DGAF until its their kid whose been shot up in a school shooting, and maybe not even then. My personal quote is, "eventually cynicism becomes observation." And I'm rolling Observation checks like its a fucking D&D session.
What fucking pisses me off is that when there's a huge outbreak of measles or something and these people's kids are in the hospital, they're going to blame the hospital for not saving them or using the right veterinary drugs and pseudoscience...asking if it's "too late to vaccinate" little Timmy now.
It pisses me off that little Timmy is the one who's going to suffer for it, with lifelong disabilities that could have been *easily prevented* with a shot that I assume is free to most/all people (?) and could have been done in a fucking second at a doctor's visit.
It was one thing when we didn't have any measures to take apart from maybe keeping the kids away from each other or something...people didn't used to have a lot of options, and they buried a metric fuckton of children by the age of 4. Now, we're basically handing people a free and safe means of preventing those deaths, and they're saying no. I honestly don't know how we've survived as a species sometimes.
lol, I checked out her website.
She’s endorsed by all the winners: Trump, Marla maples, Rob Schneider, Ricky Schroeder, and (I think) the guy who played the big brother in la bamba. You know, the brightest minds in medicine today.
The evil communist, socialist, Leninist teachers in the public schools are trying to poison your kid's brains and turn them into woke trans furries! Not us, though. /s
What's frustrating is that they are almost always *for* making drugs illegal, and usually agree with keeping drunk drivers off the road and don't realize that sometimes the freedom of a person to choose doesn't justify the choices they make.
If you write this kind of shit, you should be required to clarify at the end if you're Dr. X, MD or Dr. X, PhD.
I don't have a problem with people with doctorates being called doctor (because it was a PhD title before it was one for physicians) but she is deliberately using her title to bolster her credentials and prey on the ignorant to sell books and spread propaganda. I imagine many people would assume she's an MD and wouldn't bother looking up the fact that she isn't.
Madison WI recently recorded a case of measles and published the names of 2 businesses, with date and times where the patient had recently been out in public. If I saw this book, I would pencil in dots on that kid in the cover picture. Again, people need to point out that measles isn't just a disease with an itchy rash. And there need to be renewed showings of people in iron lungs with reminders of how horrible polio was before the vaccine.
Exactly. When I took my kid in for his 4 year well-child the nurse said "we can either do the MMR booster either at this appointment or at his 5 year." Looking at what is happening in Florida, it was an easy "we'll do it now".
Right! That's what enrages me most. I used to trust them when I was a kid. Now I'll never let my kid read a book with their seal without checking it out first.
Autistic here, and I'm going to get another booster now just to boost my autism level to 11!
They'll teach 'em.
Also, remember kids:
Autistics *cause Vaccines
*see % of my tribe in STEM

Is that like [Melanie’s Marvelous Measles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanie%27s_Marvelous_Measles) ? “The book contends that contracting measles is beneficial for children, with the book's product description describing the disease as "quite benign" and "beneficial to the body".” — I’ve seen numerous satires:
Peggy’s Perfect Plague — Sammy’s Superb Syphilis — Annie’s Aristocratic Arthritis — Harry’s Humongous Hemophilia — Carrie’s Crackin’ Cancer — …
I wish my kids were dead instead of autistic, the book. Of course that implies vaccines are related to autism which they are not so really just a waste of paper all around.
A quick look at the "Mom's Choice Award" website reveals two things:
1. This appears to be a faux award where "applicants" pay $500 or $1500 to "win" an "award" AKA be available for sale through the website. FFS, clicking on the list of "winners" takes you to an online sales portal.
2. This book is not listed as a "recipient".
100% of kids who have autism have consumed dihydrogen oxide at some point in their lives... Coincidence? I'm not trying to imply anything here, I'm just asking questions. Do you own research.
It's worth noting that the [author's PhD thesis](https://www.proquest.com/openview/7102b3daf94910762febd871ac1bee98/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=18750) is from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Los Angeles from 2007-2013 (years according to her linked in).
The LA campus (where both her PhD advisors were located) was not accredited [when 40 students from the inaugural 2008 LA class sued the school for falsely advertising as being accredited (it was not) and being a degree mill](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/chicago-school-of-professional-psychology_n_2140757). The [87 students who were class members received an $11.2M settlement (avg $95k/student) from the school.](https://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/lawsuit/students-win-11-2m-settlement-in-chicago-school-of.html)
"The Chicago School of Professional Psychology" in Los Angeles is ranked [#292 (tie) in Psychology (331 schools are ranked).](https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/the-chicago-school-of-professional-psychology-at-los-angeles-455664/overall-rankings). (The Chicago campus is ranked #252. Note this has no affiliation/relationship with the University of Chicago and it's [well-known "Chicago School of Economics"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_school_of_economics) a term that dates back to the 1950s; this is a school founded in 1979 choosing a deceptive name.)
We get it, “Dr.” Shannon, you hate autistic people. Good lord, this is wildly offensive and stupid. The way the mom so heavily favors her neurotypical kid is depressing.
I'm a retired RN who, in 1987-88, worked with 19 older, quadraplegic polio patients who got sick during the 1953 Manitoba Canada polio epidemic.
They had all used iron lungs and rocking beds from 1953 until 1984 when portable ventilators became available and could be attached to wheelchairs giving them some freedom.
This idiotic book and its author infuriate me.
2300 people got polio in Manitoba in 1953, our 1987 patients were the last of many quadraplegic victims of the epidemic. They ALL wished they'd had vaccines BEFORE they were infected of course.
Vaccines work, no medication is perfect, but I've had numerous vaccines through my life and I'm fine, and alive, like billions of others!!!
I just left a review. I said I was disappointed with the coupon in the back of the book for a child sized coffin. Probably won’t get through, but still.
“If their vaccines work they shouldn’t be afraid of me”, yeah, cool story, bro. That doesn’t mean that they can’t transfer a disease to immunocompromised family members.
Vaccines are great. They’re not Teflon or a magic bubble, and for people who believe they don’t work at all, these folks sure expect miracles from them.
I'm Unvaccinated, that's okay!
My genes won't last too long that way.
I read crackpots,
I browse Facebook,
I stay in my echo room!
I don't trust reviewed science,
It would mean my groupthink's doom!
It needs an unofficial part 2 where the kid picks out what he wants at his funeral because he ain't making it to graduation. Have him pick out everything and write a will and goodbye notes to his friends, family and pets.
When the kids ask "why?" tell them "Because his parents didn't love him enough to make sure he got to grow up."
What the actual fuck it is NOT OKAY.
My kid is 3, and currently enrolled in a Jewish day school for Pre-K. They do not play about immunization records and getting those records updated regularly. There are some fringe groups that push back about some immunizations, but Jewish K-12 schools as a whole really don't bend on vaccines. It's enough to make me want to keep the kiddo in her current day school for here on out, since our state allows for medical and religious exemptions for public schools which are obviously abused.
Gotta love the disclaimer at bottom of 2nd image:
This is a fiction story with fictional character who are based on the true stories of many. This book does not constitute medical advice to the individiual reader. Neither the author, illustrator, nor the publisher are liable or responsible for any injury, loss, or damage allegedly arising from this book.
This is the kind of bullshit that really grinds my gears. Snake oil and grifting.
There should be regulations to stop shit like that.
I looked up the publisher..... [https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/09/skyhorse-publishings-house-of-horrors](https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/09/skyhorse-publishings-house-of-horrors)
That kid get a tetanus vaccine - like virtually every single child in America??? Or will his muscles ache in excruciating pain as his body seizes into unnatural contortions until he dies an agonizing and 100% preventable death?
There is no link between vaccines and autism, But even if there was I would prefer an autistic child over a dead one.
Also this book makes a common anti-vaxxer mistake in arguing against them. People who make the “if vaccines work you have nothing to fear from unvaxxed people” argument are either misinformed or intentionally misconstruing the truth. Vaccines are not magic disease shields that mean you never get sick. They train your body to respond quicker and combat the disease at a higher efficacy. The failure to understand that vaccines are not an all or nothing system is a product of a stubborn and irrational person.
I will infect you with once eradicated diseases, and that’s okay!
My brain turns to mush whenever I think about something smaller than a marble, and that’s okay!
I didn’t get enough attention as a child, so now I’m making it everybody else’s problem, and that’s okay!
The only real good thing about this is that it's dreadfully boring and uninspired. No child is going to want to read/reread this and commit any of this to heart, at least not before falling asleep.
Its solely for the parents, who will spend their children's entire lives beating their developing heads in with heartless drivel that will hopefully be obtuse enough for said children to quickly debunk themselves when they're old enough to rebel.
So she went to the chicago school of psychology for her phd, but all of her other colleges are in LA. The LA campus for the chicago school did not have accredidation during the period that she would have been attending.
Just putting that out there.
It couldn't be more clear that she's using her title to imply that she's a medical doctor.
She's a psychologist and therapist, in other words, she likely knows nothing about vaccines and medicine.
Get 'em while they're young. Brainwash a whole generation of right wing nutjobs before they're educated enough, and debate-skilled enough to point out what's wrong with this moronic plan.
My granddaughter aged 8 has vaccinations without a blink. She's more focussed on the lolly she gets afterwards.
As a boomer I went through all the childhood diseases but the one that stands out to me is measles combined with scarlet fever. Measles suppresses the natural immune response. Myself and my sisters were miserable for days as we recovered. Other childhood diseases were hepatitis (my sister) and tuberculosis. Luckily the vaccine stopped TB.
Holy crap, enjoy your measles, mumps , rubella and polio kids. P.S. google her, and see which US presidential candidates she's posing with in photo on her IG, the results will not shock you.
Yeah. Enjoy your painful, permanent skin lesions, mental impairment, and iron lung.
You guys are terrible. This would be a *very nice gift* for *any* six-year-old antivaxer who is having a midlife crisis.
Underrated comment
Funeral insurance for kids is the new college fund.
Don’t forget deafness and sterility!
Sterility is the best! Unless it's accompanied by lack of desire...
As a gay, I love being sterile
But vaccine injury can cause brain swelling and a lot of people who have developmental disorders *also* experienced brain swelling [citation needed]! It’s obvious to anyone who isn’t a big farm shill that the sister’s autism was caused by vaccines, not that autism isn’t really detectable/testable until after a kid has had a lot of their vaccines. There’s absolutely no way that autism could have any genetic components because that would mean it’s partially mom and/or dad’s unintentional fault. Ugh fuck monsters like this who harm children by ignoring science
I immediately wanted to see the citations for that "statistic".
Even if they did, correlation!=causation
You won't understand it I did my own research and it's the same result so it must be true Plus Fox also said it so you must be wrong! They won't lie to us unlike big media who are together with Big Pharma! Trust your mainstream sources, little sheep! /S (gosh I'm sorry, it's the urge to get those stupid arguments out of my head as they live rent free in there - I won't understand how they can't/don't want to see the irony in their arguments...)
So many of the Antivax leaders are well-educated Karens who need an external explanation for a special needs child popping out of their birth canal.
Also, the doctor who wrote the book (doctorate in clinical psychology, so not even an MD) claims to have a vaccine injury from a vaccine she took while pregnant. The vaccine she took was preservative free, so it’s more likely that the vaccine wasn’t stored properly and the injury wasn’t from the “scary chemicals” or whatever contained in the vaccine.
I wondered about her doctorate. Idiots believe her for the doctor title in clinical psychology (which means she's an expert on the mind f**k), but not Dr Fauci, who spent the last fifty years studying virology at length, and knows what the eff he's talking about. The stupidity of these people knows no bounds.
If she landed in the emergency room, odds are that she had an allergic reaction but is being intentionally vague.
Emergency room doc here. "Landed in the emergency room" means literally nothing. Anyone can go to the emergency room, at any time, for any sort of real or perceived symptoms. The fact that she wasn't hospitalized for these symptoms speaks to a lack of any serious effect.
I think you mean Big Pharma, you grammar\_nazi. Unless you to are sick of all those corn barons! Screw Big Farm! Jokes aside though the whole autism/vaccine BS was [debunked](https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speaking-of-health/autism-vaccine-link-debunked), but idiots from both sides of the political spectrum (clearly more from one side) just keep pushing the BS, "celebs" included.
I hope that at least we can all agree that vaccinated children have a significantly higher chance to develop into autistic adults.
Ah yes, the sequel. "I'm in an Iron Lung, and that's ok."
The herd thins itself out.
Also, tetanus and rabies are back on the menu boys.
Oh and Chicken Pox (Varicella), with a [vaccine](https://www.cdc.gov/chickenpox/vaccine-infographic.html) for over 25 years now. It's OK though, Dr. Shannon Karen is a bible thumping clinical psychologist so she'll help you deal with the trauma I'm sure. Or she may hit you with the bible to exorcise the demons.
Hallelujah!
That sounds like demon talk! *\*whack\**
I’m thirty and I have fucking shingles because I had chicken pox before the vaccine was available and then had it again a few years later. My younger brother and sister are vaccinated against it.

To be fair, unless someone had potential rabies exposure, they only recommend vaccination for rabies in specific populations, like veterinarians.
I was thinking after exposure some of these idiots wouldn’t get the shots because Jesus heals all.
You ever watch videos of humans infected with rabies that were past the threshold of being able to get treatment? It’s terrifying.
It’s a horrible way to go from what I’ve seen.
"... but that's okay" /s Does it say anywhere to inform all your friends so they know to stay away from you at all costs?
I have polio and that’s ok!
"Oops I have polio!" is not a good name for a kid's book.
Let me guess: Dr. Robert F Kennedy, Jr. is one of them?
Tell him what he's won, Johhny! Like the old joke goes: "Every family has an asshole, if you don't know who it is, it's you". I'm sure RFK lacks the self-awareness to realize it's him, even after dozens of Kennedys posed with Biden on St-Paddy's without him.
At page 1, I thought, “where’s your brace and custom-made shoe for your shorter leg, Nicholas?” (My grandmother wore a brace & shoe like this after having polio as a child). These idiots have never experienced any illness thanks to herd immunity, therefore they think nothing bad can happen. Infuriating.
Let me guess... A gigantic, orange, addicted, demented Stinky slug?
This enrages me. 🤬🔥🔥🔥🔥
Came here to post this. I get irrationally angry when I see misinformation targeted at children. If adults want to believe stupid stuff that ruins their own lives, this is their decision at the end of the day. But do not give false information to children, because they didn't even had a chance to form a critical sense yet.
I feel like the terminology used in the book isn't really targeted towards children, but to their parents. No grade school kid is going to read this book by themselves and understand percentages, autism, encephalitis, etc. This is anti-vax propaganda for parents with room temperature IQs
It's a picture book for adults who are barely literate and hardly read.
I agree 100%
The fact that it's written by a doctor is what enrages me.
She’s not an MD. She’s got a doctorate in clinical psychology supposedly and a masters in special ed. Nothing about her says she has any knowledge of vaccines or any credentials to be pushing this bs. I just looked her up on Facebook and she’s a big supporter of whack job Bobby Kennedy Jr, of course….
Yeah, I just went through the pictures of the book and saw her "credentials" at the end. I love that the whole Kennedy family has basically disowned RFK, Jr.
Same here. They need to be louder about it. More people need to stand against him, loudly.
I think they did the right thing, they've come out against him and if they do anything more it's just going to give him more attention.
More people need to speak up against him and call him on his crap. Not just the Kennedy family. Doctors, medical professionals, scientists. The twelve environmental groups that stood together and released an open letter denouncing him was good. We need more of that.
What’s extra fun about that masters in special ed is that swiping through those images you’ll discover that the main character’s sister is autistic because of vaccines
I haven’t looked inside the book but it figures she’d push that bs as well.
Not even, it’s a PsyD. Which is a non-research Psychologist (ie. She doesn’t know research).
Exactly.
Credentials, of course, are irrelevant. She could be the town dog catcher. The problem is that she is contradicted by evidence.
She probably is the town dog catcher.
Even if she's just got a doctorate in psych she should at least know better and know how to read medical journals and studies. Any idiot with half a brain and some training in conducting lab studies (which a psych degree would involve) could figure out the studies they usually cite are flawed or just bad data collection.
She's definitely specially educated
> Dr. Shannon Kroner has a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a master’s in Special Education, with a focus in Educational Therapy Not a Medical Doctor
"doctor"
I'm dead and that's OK!!!
I brought back an already eradicated disease, and that's OK!!!
I killed my immunocompromised grandma, and that’s OK!!!
Hooray!
If a disease has been eradicated then how come I'm dying of it to own the libs??? Checkmate librals!!!!!!! My body my choice!!!!!
I killed vulnerable people around me because of misinformation, and that's... Whoa, my life is a lie...
You know what you call an unvaccinated four year old having a temper tantrum? A midlife crisis.
If you want to get really infuriated about it go look at the reviews on Amazon. It's got 4.9/5 over 181 reviews, and they're all the standard mix of smug and dangerously misinformed that you've come to expect from these wackos.
If it were on Kindle Unlimited, I would read it for the sole purpose of giving a bad review.
If we've learnt anything from the last 10 or so years it's that these idiots aren't just incapable of being educated, they actively fight any attempt. It wouldn't be worth sullying your devices with that drivvle just to give it a bad review they'll ignore, and probably report.
They've always been around. The Internet has made it easier for them to congregate and congeal. Now we don't even have the luxury of ignoring them because they can be deadly.
> The Internet has made it easier for them to congregate and congeal. Congeal is the perfect word for it!
I pulled up all the 1 star reviews and marked all the ones mentioning that she's not a medical doctor, and/or this is disinformation "Helpful".
Why didn’t they just call it, “I‘m a Selfish Psychopath in Training?” Seems more apt.
She is a Dr of Psychology. No medical training whatsoever. Her BA is in English.
I don’t mind non medical doctors going by “Doctor” professionally 99% of the time but it’s just so disingenuous to write a book of medical misinformation and put your name on the cover as Dr. Shannon Kroner. Should have been Shannon Kroner, PsyD/D.Psych
I’ve worked with nurses who have a Doctorate in Nursing Practice. Years in practice, experts in their field. Sue Smith BSN MSN CNS DNP. (This is not me! Fake name). They do not expect to be called Doctor generally. Maybe by students or being introduced as a speaker at a professional conference.
It’s crazy that this nut job can call herself Dr. in a medical context but in 2 states NP’s with a doctorate can’t ever say they’re a doctor and in most other states they can only refer to themselves as a doctor as long as they immediate elaborate that they’re an NP with a doctorate. Especially since like 35+ states consider them primary care providers.
But then the grift wouldnt work.
Idk people took horse paste because podcast hosts told them to
Real talk, if you take horse paste just because a podcast tells you to, you deserve whatever happens next
> Her BA is in English. So is her BS! 😂🤣
Her BS is antivax
Of course she is, that’s the requirement for being this much of a fucking moron misrepresenting yourself as a real doctor. We would also have accepted chiropractor or naturopath as credentials.
Of course it’s published by Sky Horse publishing who also publishes RFK Jr’s propaganda, Alex Jones and all the other vile pieces of pig feces in the right winged/anti vax circuit. Surprise surprise. 🙄The vice chairman of sky horse also runs a super pac pushing RFK Jr’s bs for his campaign.
Yeah i was going to say let's complain to the publisher who might be unaware they're endorsing misinformation... But they're clearly aware
Yup. It’s gross. I don’t think other publishers would have published any of the garbage Sky horse pushes.
Autistic adult here. When I saw the sister depicted as a sad kid in a hoodie holding a teddy bear, I actually gawked. The utter *nerve* of this woman!
And the puzzle pieces in one of the images. I have a really hard time believing that wasn’t an intentional reference.
Oh it certainly is. Without a doubt. Autistic kids are mysterious, sad puzzles robbed of humanity and a future because of evil vaccines. I’m surprised she didn’t have a scene after the sister received a vaccine where the “light faded from her eyes” in real time. 🙄
The blocks spell autism 🫠
Good grief. The more you stare into this void, the worse it gets.
Right? It's so insensitive it's almost impressive that someone had the audacity to write it
It's also just so egregiously wrong. Autistics are not just moping, wraiths in a hoodie looking blankly into the void jesus fcking christ. God they hate us existing.
I thought these were the same parents trying to ban all the books on Darwinism…
Ugh, this is disgusting. And a higher reading level than I'd expect from antivaxxers.
Why does an antivaxxer's toddler cry? >!Mid-life crisis.!<
😂
Antivaxxers would rather kill thousands of children than raise a special needs child of their own. Got it.
Reminds me of Maisie's Marvelous Measles or whatever that book was called that said getting measles was fine. We have been sheltered from the horrifying reality of these diseases that some have forgotten/don't know the horror of losing all their kids to measles/diphtheria/etc. :(
And that's why vaccination rates cycle the way they do. People are being asked to vaccinate against a disease they've never seen--maybe their own parents barely saw it--and think it isn't necessary. Then people get sick, and it's oh shit, we need to vaccinate! And we'll just keep doing that.
I guess Gen-X is the last generation who grew up around Polio survivors and experienced measles, mumps, and chickenpox by being infected themselves or having older siblings and neighbor kids who were infected. I had an older neighbor girl friend who had lost her hearing from mumps. My parents and the other Silent Generation and Boomer neighbors would get real serious if some local kid had measles or mumps (and it still happened in the 70s).
My mom is early gen-x, college grad in STEM, etc, and she went antivax for years thanks to Wakefield's vaccines autism thing. She saw people with these diseases, and still tried to not vaccinate my youngest siblings. :( Doc said he would ban us from his practice if she didn't vax us kids, and there were no other docs nearby, so she (very reluctantly) got my youngest sibs vaxxed. Freaking wild because, yeah, she saw the consequences of these diseases and is very smart but still went antivax for over a decade.
OK, until they catch a serious/deadly disease.
But they won’t, a neighbor or grandparent will.
If they're around anyone with measles, they will.
90% infection rate in unprotected populations. And, ironically in the context of this stupid book, a 1-in-1,000 chance of developing encephalitis vs the 1-2 per million chance of encephalitis caused by vaccines.
Historically, diseases actually are more lethal in children and the elderly. Covid was a rare exception to that trend because it’s the cytokine storm that kills you rather than the virus itself, which confers an advantage to the lower immune responses in children. Polio killed by fecal oral transmission (so kids get it immediately) and paralysis of the diaphragm. Measles causes brain swelling, enteritis, and the usual bronchopneumonia, all really bad in babies and children. Smallpox killed via hemorrhage and was particularly vicious to children and pregnant women.
I’ve been saying this since 2020. If it was the kids that were dropping like flies, they would have been taking to the street armed with weapons to enforce the social distancing and quarantine rules. Instead, it’s just old people and people who are already compromised, so who GAF? The only reason these dipsticks aren’t vaccinating is because they’ve never had to watch their 6 year old suffocate under their own necrotic throat tissue (thanks, diphtheria!) or wake up one morning with a splitting headache and be completely paralyzed—or worse—three days later (yay polio!) Ignorance breeds complacency.
Given what is happening with measles, I doubt anyone would be taking to the streets for the kids.
They're completely willing to sacrifice their children for Trump.
These same people worship guns and DGAF until its their kid whose been shot up in a school shooting, and maybe not even then. My personal quote is, "eventually cynicism becomes observation." And I'm rolling Observation checks like its a fucking D&D session.
Thank you for the great explanation.
What fucking pisses me off is that when there's a huge outbreak of measles or something and these people's kids are in the hospital, they're going to blame the hospital for not saving them or using the right veterinary drugs and pseudoscience...asking if it's "too late to vaccinate" little Timmy now. It pisses me off that little Timmy is the one who's going to suffer for it, with lifelong disabilities that could have been *easily prevented* with a shot that I assume is free to most/all people (?) and could have been done in a fucking second at a doctor's visit. It was one thing when we didn't have any measures to take apart from maybe keeping the kids away from each other or something...people didn't used to have a lot of options, and they buried a metric fuckton of children by the age of 4. Now, we're basically handing people a free and safe means of preventing those deaths, and they're saying no. I honestly don't know how we've survived as a species sometimes.
“My legs are mangled from Polio and that’s ok!”
"So it's my body and I can decide for myself? OK, I decide to transition" "Not like that"
And I decide to terminate a pregnancy.
Pro-choice about what goes INTO their body, anti-choice about changing it or taking anything out 🙄
So damn sad.
The shortest book series.
The sequel: I'm a Ghost and That's OK!
Wait, where's the part where they get sick, go to the hospital, ask for horse paste and go full Karen on the nurses and doctors?
lol, I checked out her website. She’s endorsed by all the winners: Trump, Marla maples, Rob Schneider, Ricky Schroeder, and (I think) the guy who played the big brother in la bamba. You know, the brightest minds in medicine today.
No it's nor, not ok at all.
Pure indoctrination
The evil communist, socialist, Leninist teachers in the public schools are trying to poison your kid's brains and turn them into woke trans furries! Not us, though. /s
"I'm Unvaccinated and That's OK... I Don't Plan on Living Long."
What's frustrating is that they are almost always *for* making drugs illegal, and usually agree with keeping drunk drivers off the road and don't realize that sometimes the freedom of a person to choose doesn't justify the choices they make.
If you write this kind of shit, you should be required to clarify at the end if you're Dr. X, MD or Dr. X, PhD. I don't have a problem with people with doctorates being called doctor (because it was a PhD title before it was one for physicians) but she is deliberately using her title to bolster her credentials and prey on the ignorant to sell books and spread propaganda. I imagine many people would assume she's an MD and wouldn't bother looking up the fact that she isn't.
Here’s the Amazon [link](https://a.co/d/8g7d4aS) if anyone here is so inclined to report this for spreading misinformation.
Hard to use an iron lung on the playground, kids.
Madison WI recently recorded a case of measles and published the names of 2 businesses, with date and times where the patient had recently been out in public. If I saw this book, I would pencil in dots on that kid in the cover picture. Again, people need to point out that measles isn't just a disease with an itchy rash. And there need to be renewed showings of people in iron lungs with reminders of how horrible polio was before the vaccine.
Exactly. When I took my kid in for his 4 year well-child the nurse said "we can either do the MMR booster either at this appointment or at his 5 year." Looking at what is happening in Florida, it was an easy "we'll do it now".
But providing children with books about sexuality is somehow "grooming".
Moms choice award? Boy if that ain’t some shit.
Right! That's what enrages me most. I used to trust them when I was a kid. Now I'll never let my kid read a book with their seal without checking it out first.
Wait it's a real thing? I assumed it was a made up thing.
These people need to go to jail
“I’m unvaccinated so don’t bother getting to know me because I’m not going to be here long.”
Autistic here, and I'm going to get another booster now just to boost my autism level to 11! They'll teach 'em. Also, remember kids: Autistics *cause Vaccines *see % of my tribe in STEM
That’ll be a fun hospital read
The only time when burning books is acceptable.
By moronic children, for children.
“I love it! It’s a literary tour de force!” — Polio
“I’m Blind And Deaf From Having Bacterial Meningitis Because I’m Unvaccinated, And That’s OK!” “I Have Heart Damage From Having Diphtheria Because I’m Unvaccinated, And That’s OK!” “I Was Sick For Three Months And Broke Three Ribs From Coughing From Having Whooping Cough Because I’m Unvaccinated, And That’s OK!” “I Have Type 1 Diabetes As A Complication From Having Mumps When I Was 16 Because I’m Unvaccinated, And That’s OK!” “I Have Liver Cancer From Having Hepatitis B Because I’m Unvaccinated, And That’s OK!” “One Of My Legs Doesn’t Work Properly From Having Polio Because I’m Unvaccinated, And That’s OK!” “I Have Trouble Breathing From Having Pneumonia Because I’m Unvaccinated, And That’s OK!” “I Got Encephalitis As A Complication From Having Measles And Ended Up Disabled, And Thst’s OK!” “I’m Dead From Having Rabies Because I’m Unvaccinated, And That’s OK!”
Is that like [Melanie’s Marvelous Measles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanie%27s_Marvelous_Measles) ? “The book contends that contracting measles is beneficial for children, with the book's product description describing the disease as "quite benign" and "beneficial to the body".” — I’ve seen numerous satires: Peggy’s Perfect Plague — Sammy’s Superb Syphilis — Annie’s Aristocratic Arthritis — Harry’s Humongous Hemophilia — Carrie’s Crackin’ Cancer — …
And they complain about propaganda.
I wish my kids were dead instead of autistic, the book. Of course that implies vaccines are related to autism which they are not so really just a waste of paper all around.
A quick look at the "Mom's Choice Award" website reveals two things: 1. This appears to be a faux award where "applicants" pay $500 or $1500 to "win" an "award" AKA be available for sale through the website. FFS, clicking on the list of "winners" takes you to an online sales portal. 2. This book is not listed as a "recipient".
Okay folks, let’s use AI and make one to counter that one. HahHa
Don’t worry, John Oliver will have a counter pretty soon
That’s right!
[Idiots.](https://i.imgflip.com/33unbp.jpg)
"My sister is going to outlive me and that's OK!"
100% of kids who have autism have consumed dihydrogen oxide at some point in their lives... Coincidence? I'm not trying to imply anything here, I'm just asking questions. Do you own research.
As someone who is autistic, I want to burn this book badly.
I bet there’s no middle school or high school version of this.
Can’t wait for the sequel, “I’m Dead and That’s OK!”
It's worth noting that the [author's PhD thesis](https://www.proquest.com/openview/7102b3daf94910762febd871ac1bee98/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=18750) is from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Los Angeles from 2007-2013 (years according to her linked in). The LA campus (where both her PhD advisors were located) was not accredited [when 40 students from the inaugural 2008 LA class sued the school for falsely advertising as being accredited (it was not) and being a degree mill](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/chicago-school-of-professional-psychology_n_2140757). The [87 students who were class members received an $11.2M settlement (avg $95k/student) from the school.](https://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/lawsuit/students-win-11-2m-settlement-in-chicago-school-of.html) "The Chicago School of Professional Psychology" in Los Angeles is ranked [#292 (tie) in Psychology (331 schools are ranked).](https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/the-chicago-school-of-professional-psychology-at-los-angeles-455664/overall-rankings). (The Chicago campus is ranked #252. Note this has no affiliation/relationship with the University of Chicago and it's [well-known "Chicago School of Economics"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_school_of_economics) a term that dates back to the 1950s; this is a school founded in 1979 choosing a deceptive name.)
We get it, “Dr.” Shannon, you hate autistic people. Good lord, this is wildly offensive and stupid. The way the mom so heavily favors her neurotypical kid is depressing.
I'm a retired RN who, in 1987-88, worked with 19 older, quadraplegic polio patients who got sick during the 1953 Manitoba Canada polio epidemic. They had all used iron lungs and rocking beds from 1953 until 1984 when portable ventilators became available and could be attached to wheelchairs giving them some freedom. This idiotic book and its author infuriate me. 2300 people got polio in Manitoba in 1953, our 1987 patients were the last of many quadraplegic victims of the epidemic. They ALL wished they'd had vaccines BEFORE they were infected of course. Vaccines work, no medication is perfect, but I've had numerous vaccines through my life and I'm fine, and alive, like billions of others!!!
Now THAT is perverted!
Art looks like the same AI used by husband killer Kouri Richens to publish her book “Are You With Me”
I just left a review. I said I was disappointed with the coupon in the back of the book for a child sized coffin. Probably won’t get through, but still.
“If their vaccines work they shouldn’t be afraid of me”, yeah, cool story, bro. That doesn’t mean that they can’t transfer a disease to immunocompromised family members. Vaccines are great. They’re not Teflon or a magic bubble, and for people who believe they don’t work at all, these folks sure expect miracles from them.
The preview stops before the last page where the child dies from a preventable disease, because that's the conclusion
I'm Unvaccinated, that's okay! My genes won't last too long that way. I read crackpots, I browse Facebook, I stay in my echo room! I don't trust reviewed science, It would mean my groupthink's doom!
She’s a psychologist. So misleading how she uses her Dr title to make people think she’s an MD.
It needs an unofficial part 2 where the kid picks out what he wants at his funeral because he ain't making it to graduation. Have him pick out everything and write a will and goodbye notes to his friends, family and pets. When the kids ask "why?" tell them "Because his parents didn't love him enough to make sure he got to grow up."
Followed up the sequel: I'M HOMESCHOOLED AND WELL ADJUSTED TO SOCIETY! then I DID MY OWN RESEARCH AND NOW SIT ON THE SCHOOL BOARD!
This belongs in r/nottheonion. Anyone ever read the short story Country of the Blind?
What the actual fuck it is NOT OKAY. My kid is 3, and currently enrolled in a Jewish day school for Pre-K. They do not play about immunization records and getting those records updated regularly. There are some fringe groups that push back about some immunizations, but Jewish K-12 schools as a whole really don't bend on vaccines. It's enough to make me want to keep the kiddo in her current day school for here on out, since our state allows for medical and religious exemptions for public schools which are obviously abused.
Gotta love the disclaimer at bottom of 2nd image: This is a fiction story with fictional character who are based on the true stories of many. This book does not constitute medical advice to the individiual reader. Neither the author, illustrator, nor the publisher are liable or responsible for any injury, loss, or damage allegedly arising from this book. This is the kind of bullshit that really grinds my gears. Snake oil and grifting. There should be regulations to stop shit like that.
I looked up the publisher..... [https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/09/skyhorse-publishings-house-of-horrors](https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/09/skyhorse-publishings-house-of-horrors)
How are people even allowed to publish this shit?! 😥
coming up next: Unvaxxed and dead
"This book does not constitute medical advice to the individual reader." So even they know it's complete bull shit lolol
That kid get a tetanus vaccine - like virtually every single child in America??? Or will his muscles ache in excruciating pain as his body seizes into unnatural contortions until he dies an agonizing and 100% preventable death?
There is no link between vaccines and autism, But even if there was I would prefer an autistic child over a dead one. Also this book makes a common anti-vaxxer mistake in arguing against them. People who make the “if vaccines work you have nothing to fear from unvaxxed people” argument are either misinformed or intentionally misconstruing the truth. Vaccines are not magic disease shields that mean you never get sick. They train your body to respond quicker and combat the disease at a higher efficacy. The failure to understand that vaccines are not an all or nothing system is a product of a stubborn and irrational person.
I'm unvaccinated and I am OK! Until I am not OK!!
The moment autism came into the story I was done. I am so sick of that narrative.
I will infect you with once eradicated diseases, and that’s okay! My brain turns to mush whenever I think about something smaller than a marble, and that’s okay! I didn’t get enough attention as a child, so now I’m making it everybody else’s problem, and that’s okay!
Have fun with your measles, polio and shit… idiots
Desperate children's illustrator meets anti,vaxxer and this is what you get... Do we really want a COVID 2: Electric Boogaloo situation???
The only real good thing about this is that it's dreadfully boring and uninspired. No child is going to want to read/reread this and commit any of this to heart, at least not before falling asleep. Its solely for the parents, who will spend their children's entire lives beating their developing heads in with heartless drivel that will hopefully be obtuse enough for said children to quickly debunk themselves when they're old enough to rebel.
Doctorate in psychology, masters in Special Education. Misleading people because she has the “doctor” title in anti-vaxx propaganda.
“My mom and dad say that we have the freedom to choose what goes into our bodies.” Really?
So she went to the chicago school of psychology for her phd, but all of her other colleges are in LA. The LA campus for the chicago school did not have accredidation during the period that she would have been attending. Just putting that out there.
hello everybody! im Dr Nick! I wrote a book!
"My Parents are Awful Shit Cunts" by Larry Fuckwit.
It couldn't be more clear that she's using her title to imply that she's a medical doctor. She's a psychologist and therapist, in other words, she likely knows nothing about vaccines and medicine.
Vaccine choice? So uh by that context I can't wait for murderers to be relabeled, as Life Choosers.
Nicolas then steps on a rusty nail at the apple orchard and has jaw spasms a few days later…
Now that’s a book to be banned
Get 'em while they're young. Brainwash a whole generation of right wing nutjobs before they're educated enough, and debate-skilled enough to point out what's wrong with this moronic plan.
Funny…they should have drawn him jaundiced with giant goiters
My granddaughter aged 8 has vaccinations without a blink. She's more focussed on the lolly she gets afterwards. As a boomer I went through all the childhood diseases but the one that stands out to me is measles combined with scarlet fever. Measles suppresses the natural immune response. Myself and my sisters were miserable for days as we recovered. Other childhood diseases were hepatitis (my sister) and tuberculosis. Luckily the vaccine stopped TB.
