I knew I'd see this sooner or later, "pro-life" group opposes ebola vaccine.

Due to their 'concerns" about stem cells, and the fact that they are anti-vaccines as well.

Religious Right Group Opposes Ebola Vaccine Projects Over Stem Cell Research

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 10/15/2014 12:20 pm

A “pro-life” group wants the government to stop fast-tracking two potential vaccines to fight the Ebola virus, citing concerns that the vaccine development includes stem cell research. Debi Vinnedge of Children of God for Life says in a press release today that the Obama administration is “completely irresponsible” for approving projects that not “everyone can use in good conscience,” predicting that “a massive number of people may very well refuse them.” The group also pushes discredited claims that vaccines cause autism.

Or is that "born, then fucked"?

Kind of like the Volkswagen "Sign, Then Drive" campaign?

You need foresight and common sense to use a condom. Sorely lacking among fundies.

When they develop a vaccine, I would like to see it withheld from anyone associated with these dumbfucks.

let them volunteer to sit with Ebola patients for a day or two. They'd beg for a vaccine, no matter its constituent parts.

I hope they are among the first victims of Ebola and I mean that with utmost sincerity.

school district. UNvaccinated students are now down with mumps, and the other 16 UNvaccinated students have been ordered to stay home, to keep it from spreading. We seriously need a vaccine against stupidity.

and let the "pro death" group be quarantined in their church for life. They won't have to argue about the autism issue either.

Sounds like an easy solution to the anti-vaxxer problem. They will either survive and get immunity that way, or the world will get just a little smarter.

Work was giving out the Flu vaccine yesterday for free, with a goal of vaccinating everyone in the plant. And yet several of my co-workers didn't want to get it, saying their immune system was their vaccine.
The stupid, it burns!
