Measle maps seem to indicate huge numbers south of our border. I guess they don’t believe in vaccinations either?
What a coincidence!
Can we start calling it “Mexi-measles” now?
Associating ourselves with anti-vaccine nut cases is the last thing the conservative movement needs.
two words.. ill illegals..
These are illegal alien measles.
He erroneously maintains that measles could not spread in a fully vaccinated society and discredits as "ludicrous" concerns regarding the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.
Of course measles does not spread in a fully vaccinated society. How else does the author think we had actually controlled one of the most contagious diseases in existence, to the point where we declared the US measles-free in 2000? Anti-vaccine kookery has been spreading, and now we have measles outbreaks.
A good sign is that parents who had originally fallen for anti-vaxxers' lies are now rushing to get their children vaccinated. I guess, when they see that their children are actually in danger and that vaccination rates are too low to provide herd immunity, they decide that protecting their children is important, after all.
Until only a few decades ago, people had large families because most kids would die of infectious diseases. They counted themselves fortunate if one or two kids reached adulthood. Thanks to vaccines, we now have the luxury of having small families because most kids will actually grow up. Anti-vaxxers would change all that. Anti-vaxxers want to go back to the past, when people could have 15 children and not a single one would survive past the age of 10. Make no mistake about it--the anti-vaccination movement is another offshoot of the anti-humanity movement. They are no different from the radical "environmentalists" who want to eradicate all technology and send us back to a stone-age lifestyle. They hate humanity. They pretend to care about your kids' health, but they really don't--they want as many kids as possible to die.
‘Anti-vaxxers’...what a cute little label; kind of like ‘anti-choice’. Here we have someone using a label to demonize a particular group of people...sounds familiar. Wonder who came up with it?
Oh goody, more moronic defense of propagating measles by refusing to vaccinate...
