This is a good one. Now you need to post it on facebook! LOL. I'm gonna send you back and forth.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

| This meme sucks. Success kid is supposed to represent success in the face of adversity, so what you're implying with this is that it is somehow a success story to not have complications. Reinforcing the misconception that complications are likely. |

Well, vaccinations are a form of minor adversity in themselves, despite the major good they do. They are somewhat scary, usually hurt a bit, and sometimes cause the upper arm to swell a bit and heat up. Personally, I've run a a flu-like fever for a few days after a couple of my US Navy vaccinations as a young adult. And the smaller you are, the bigger the needle looks. So, even if the kid's adversity is both commonplace and minor, it's real, especially from his viewpoint.
But any meme that simple is going to be interpreted differently by different people. I just hope it starts more serious discussion, and that it might encourage vaccinations more than discourage them. |

No! Success kid is for succeeding in the face of what is purported to be adversity but is actually some trivial matter (sarcastically). Appropriate use of meme!
See... "Crossed University Ave, didn't die" *success kid* because your university has been spamming students with messages about crossing the road safely. |
