PING!

[GeronL]

NYC so it must be the hippy variant or the illegals

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

So they know for sure it was caused by people refusing vaccines and not uncontrolled immigration?

[Darksheare]

Are they sure it is antivaxxers and not illegal aliens?

[hinckley buzzard]

It's the deviant hippies who have sucked down the paranoid delusion that vaccination causes autism.

[Parley Baer]

Local mechanic I know just came down with the chicken pox. He is around 50 years old. Illegals?

[PeaceBeWithYou]

All those illegal aliens have nothing to do with it? P

[freebilly]

OK, so only the unvaccinated get the disease. What’s the issue?

[cripplecreek]

That would be my guess.

[ifinnegan]

Too many ostensible conservatives buy in to it as well.

[Autonomous User]

You can’t fix stupid. But a vaccine against it would be welcome.

[Nifster]

Thank folks like Jenni McCarthy and Alex Jones. They spout nonsense and hysteria and try to make out that it is factual.

For those of us who remember just how dangerous measles can be, I say a pox on their houses

[ifinnegan]

It’s possible vaccinated can get it. Nothing is perfect.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Was Jim Carrey available for comment?

[OneWingedShark]

Are they sure it is antivaxxers and not illegal aliens?

I've read that it is illegal aliens that are bringing these illnesses in (and bedbugs, too).

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Eh, I had them thanks to my brother, at age 5.

When my kids were young, parents had parties to infect their kids properly.

[Bon of Babble]

When my daughter was a baby, she couldn’t have the measles vaccine b/c she is allergic to eggs.

I asked the specialist if the vaccine were necessary or not.

He said virulent strains of measles were coming in from South East Asia and that he thought it was extremely important to get the measles vaccination.

[chae]

Because infants that are too young to vaccinated get it. Even if you get your children vaccinated on schedule, your child can still get it if they come in contact before they are old enough to be vaccinated.

[Snickering Hound]

Not Guilty. And not just by insanity.
