Halloween is the perfect time of year to give people a few shocks and surprises. This anti-vaxxer took that idea too far.

The anti-vaxxer movement has achieved quite a few things, just not good things.

Thanks to their hard work, diseases like measles have gone from being eliminated to thriving in the United States.

Anti-vaxxers have undoubtedly caused far more harm than good.

Due to them, people have started to die from easily preventable conditions once more.

One anti-vaxxer thought that she had the solution to her self-made problem. But there were just two small flaws with her plan: it was completely stupid and highly dangerous.

Due to her decision to not vaccinate her child, her son contracted chickenpox.

Most mothers would feel guilty about making her own child ill, but not this mother. Instead, she saw it as an opportunity to spread the illness.

She remembered the good old days when parents would force their children to play with children who had chickenpox.

Back in the day, this was the best course of action, as if the child caught chickenpox, it would be less harmful than catching it as an adult.

No one in her community would want their children to spend time around her son, seeing as the vaccine could allow the children to become immune to chickenpox without becoming ill.

Unfortunately, this just led the mother to become more creative in how she could spread the germs.

She realized that Halloween was coming up.

That is quite literally the only holiday that brings local children to her home. So instead of having these kids hang around her son until they started breaking out in pox, she decided to transfer the virus another way.

She got her son to lick some Halloween lollipops, which she then wrapped up again to hand out to trick or treaters.

The mother in this story would have possibly gotten away with her scheme, if it weren’t for the fact that she highlighted her actions beforehand on Facebook.

Convinced that this was a fantastic idea, the mother posted it to an anti-vaxxer Facebook page.

She even offered to help those outside of her community by mailing the parents of unvaccinated children the lollipops for one dollar per pop.

Luckily, someone who was pro-vaccine saw this post and spread the word, hampering the mother’s attempt at infecting every child within one mile of her.

This person also informed the police, who are now looking into the matter.

The anti-vaxxer mother in this story appears to be defiant, even in the face of criminal charges. She later took to Facebook to criticize the person who had reported her.

Specifically, she said the following:

“You think you’re right by judging me and trying to report me and get me fired. I don’t care. The health and wellbeing of my baby is far more valuable than my job.”

Most people who have been accused of something akin to bacteriological warfare in their community would usually be expected to keep quiet online. Not her.

It seems like, if anything, she’s just going to try even harder in the future to spread any diseases that her son gets from being unvaccinated.

If the mother manages to avoid prison time for this offense, then her community surely does have a lot to worry about.

Who knows what infection spreading plan she’ll hatch next?

Everyone in her home town would do well to avoid any Easter egg hunts she arranges!
