Media Analysis – Conflict, Contradiction, and Enigma

(Reddit)

There is a measles outbreak right now. There is also an anti-vaccine outbreak going on concurrently.

Question #1: The comments from where I found this picture indicated that this person seemed to be part of the medical profession, specifically a nurse. A person not in this profession might be a bit more naive, but why, do you think, would someone who should have intimate knowledge of medicine have this type of view?

Question #2: Vaccines have the express purpose of helping prevent us from getting the disease, while also helping prevent the spread of the disease. Knowing this, why would someone be willing to expose others to the disease (again, keeping in mind the profession this person is in)?
