Measles outbreak: Anti-vaccination misinformation fueled by Russian propagandists, study finds
OregonLive ^ | 2/12/2018 | Douglas Perry

Posted on 02/13/2019 12:15:32 PM PST by Rio

Russian President Vladimir Putin isn’t trying to mess only with America’s elections. He has set loose his undercover opinion manipulators to promote fear of vaccines and set pro- and anti-vaccination Americans against one another, a recent study concluded.

Oh for pity sake. What a pile of nonsense. As if pro-vaccine and anti-vaccine people need Russians to disagree about vaccines.

When we cede Mexifornia back to Mexico, we might as well throw in Oregon as well.

[[fueled by Russian propagandists, study finds]]

Really? Because most of the anti-vaccine sites I’ve seen were national sites- not russian as far as i know

I think the left are giving way too much credit to the russians for things- many in the US infact- run by red blooded Americans who fall for the ‘naturalist hype’ sites that make outrageous claims not backed up by sound scientific studies

So, not Jenny McCarthy?? I think we have found our newest perpetual scapegoat, courtesy of the soulless Democrats. IT’S THE RUSSIANS!! ( that is, when they aren’t blaming Conservatives or Republicans)

These are the same people that mocked Joseph McCarthy for seeing Russians everywhere.

LOL this is getting funny now. Idiots, everything is a Russian plot now. Even if the Russians do nothing at all, that is to lull us into complacency. And funny how everything they do is now a “spying” effort. That girl attending NRA events and prayer breakfasts wanting to bring gun ownership to Russia is actually a spy... and the NRA is penetrated by the Kremlin.

This has become a national embarrassment.

EVERY medical procedures (including vaccination) includes two types of risk - risk if the procedure is carried out and risk of NOT carried out.

Where there is risk, the risk bearer should have ability to decide which of the two is most acceptable. Since Parents have to carry the risk of hospitalizations and possible disability or death until their children are legally able to cover their own risks, I am of the opinion that it is the Parents who should decide up until the child is of legal age.

Or said another way, I don’t want some government employee mandating what healthcare either I or my child must receive. When I was a child, smallpox was a required vaccine. However, due to a skin condition, I was contra-indicated for the vaccine. My parents had to fight to keep me from getting the vaccination. After I joined the service, my skin condition has subsided, got the vaccine and was fine.

I personally have received FAR more vaccinations that most people due to world travel and associated vaccines. I was my choice to go get those vaccines. I firmly believe that the majority of vaccines have a net positive effect. However, I still want government out of healthcare and I still want it to be optional.

I’m not anti vaccine, I don’t even have polio.

I am anti vaccine now.

Look at what the Feds do that we can see. It’s not paranoia, it’s rational to believe they are using vaccines to chemically f us up.

The scientific left is only too happy to be complicit in the development of drugs to incapacitate their perceived lessers.
