Kat Von D: The make-up mogul who has reignited "anti-vax" row - Sensationalist Headlines

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44483000

Antivax is fucking selfish. They'd rather endanger other people and their own kids then (in their minds) deal with an autistic kid.

so what do these people think if their kid has autism anyways? surely this has happened

What will historians call this era of American history?

The stupid ages

it's pretty hilarious because she's a tattoo artist and should know ALL about how important vaccinations are. it's literally part of her job.

The really, really, really, really, REALLY stupid ages.

She's always been such an awful person and is only now getting her image tainted. Not saying "die Jew bag," or posting a swastika, but being anti-vax.

some p cool things to take into consideration. first, who the hell is this person and why should anyone care? secondly... if articles like this never existed then these people would remain largely unknown.

Dark Ages 2: Electric Boogaloo

I used to be a fan of her back when miami ink was running, shame she's like this now.

"When Archaeologists dig this up, they'll either laugh or cry!" -Jello Biafra but yeah, Anti-Vaxxers often use outdated evidence as counter-arguments to pro-vax statements( E.G. that study from the 90's claimed that Vaccines cause a protein deficiency, causing autism. They still cite this study regardless of the fact that it has been debunked, and that most of the researchers have retracted their names from the study)

After the huge backlash, she finally addressed the scandal on Thursday, asserting their right to medical privacy and complaining about online harassment. Harassment is one thing, but when you go on instagram and confess to abusing your child you've given up your "medical privacy."

Gonna raise their child as both a vegan and vaccination free, that poor child, that's just fucking child abuse really, her and her husband are morons.

Disinformation Age. Really though, it's sad how information and scientific data is more available to the world than it ever has been, but people will still fight for their stupid baseless beliefs.

Doesn't she have a new husband every month?

"Some vegans resist vaccinations because animal by-products are found in them." Oh my god fuck off Humans > Animals

Yeah it's ridiculous to not get a vaccine because of this reason. I know the flu vax is incubated in eggs and you can't get it if you have an egg allergy, so is that what they mean by animal product?

I think some vaccines use animal blood or something to grow cultures but I'm not sure, I'm no expert. It's mega dumb even from a vegan standpoint though - Veganism is meant to be carried out as far as you can practically do so...If something is important to your health and you cannot take reasonable steps to avoid it then there's nothing wrong with doing it. It's generally agreed upon among sensible vegans that medicine is an area you should not screw around, and there is nothing wrong with for example taking non-vegan medicines that you need otherwise you could become seriously ill or die. Not only that but it's the silliest little thing to nitpick about, again vegansim is about being practical and doing what you can to the best of your ability or the only 'true' vegans would be out living in the woods in rags scavenging berries and nuts. There are plenty of other things you could make a standpoint on - Cars aren't vegan as far as I know as some components contain animal derivatives yet I bet she still drives one, and just by driving a car you are probably killing thousands of insects per journey so it just seems completely arbitrary to take aim at something important and potentially life saving. Not having vaccines is not just a case of 'well its my choice', people like this can be responsible for people with weak immune systems or immune deficiency disorders from getting these horrible diseases

Erm... She's NOT 'anti-vaccine', she's choosing not to be vaccinated because the after-bruising can be more painful and obvious in babies and pregnant women, before and after giving birth. She said so on her Instagram recently lol

Thats still a form of being anti-vax Her children are now a danger to other children

Yeah true... At the end of the day, she has to deal with the potential consequences if or when anything happens to her and/or her son.

The problem is lots of people who don't want to vaccinate think this 'well its my personal choice and I have to deal with it', but they don't realize that their selfish actions make them a danger to people who cannot get vaccines or have weak/compromised immune systems due to the hundreds of disorders that can cause this. I wouldn't care so much if they were the only ones affected aside from the fact that it's not fair forcing it on their children, but they are not the only ones affected and are actively sabotaging decades of progress towards pretty much eradicating these diseases.

Seems like it. I still remember when she was so "madly" in "love" with Deadmau5 and then it came to an end as fast as it started. They broke up soon after, then got back together, he proposed to her, then broke up, he banged some girl since it was over, she got mad, then it was over for real. I think a similar thing happened with he previous boyfriends/fiances. She seems like a real piece...

She thinks black people are the literal devil. Vaccination is the least of her issues.

Kat Von D was my ultimate crush as a kid, so in a sense she's ruined more than one childhood

Sounds like a fun read, got a source?

She went with her then boyfriend/husband/whatever Jesse "pictures of sex while wearing nazi regalia" James, LA Ink actually started because she was fired from Miami Ink for sending her boss an anti semitic pic, whom got the handwriting on it analyzed for a lawsuit and it "99%" percent matched with her handwriting. TLC paid her ex-manager an undisclosed amount of money to avoid the suit being filed. (So they could go ahead and make LA ink, which was their 2nd or third highest rated show at the time). Irony being she later broke up with another guy because he was racist. (While she was on TLC natch) While she was not on TLC she was spotted at several rallies about the (((immigration))) problem with several boyfriends of the week. Also called Steve-O a "fucking loser jewbag" on an unaired segment of Jackass.

But unrelated, but I'll never understand why some people legit have crushes on celebrities they'll never meet.

Because they find them really attractive? I haven't had a crush like that since early high school though, its probably more about lust then love.
