Raiders RB Jalen Richard Bizarrely Tweets That None of His Kids Will Be Vaccinated
By Jerry Trotta

Brace yourselves, folks. This one is exceptionally peculiar.
We're usually not here to report on poor parenting policies, but Jalen Richard recently made an outlandish statement that is worth decomposing.
The Oakland Raiders' running back took to Twitter Wednesday afternoon to bizarrely assert that he's refusing to have any of his children vaccinated. Outta nowhere!
None of my kids will be vaccinated

I mean, seriously? We aren't questioning Richard's devotion to and love for his kids, but we just don't quite get what he's trying to accomplish here.
To our understanding, vaccination is the premiere method of ensuring that children are healthy and innoculated. Furthermore, vaccines have a proven track record of safety and effectiveness, as they are backed and discreetly analyzed by doctors, scientists, and even the federal government.
As we anticipated, the majority of Jalen's following was stunned by his claims.
Smart... You should try playing next year without helmet on as well.

When you think about it, the suggestion is not at all preposterous and extremely paralleled.
Some tweeters, however, weren't so sarcastic and called it like it is.
I assume you will not be taking them to public spaces, right? Newborns, children under 1, and those with compromised immunity don't deserve to have their lives threatened because you don't like science.

The night is young, but this might just be the most nonsensical thing you'll come across tonight.
