Yeah, let’s poison our kids with even more vaccines. Better yet, how about controlling our borders and who is in the US so these diseases don’t re-emerge?

The only thing keeping these diseases from re-emerging is vaccines. The only thing that drove these diseases into countrywide remission is vaccines.

If you would stop and think for one second, you'd realized that the only reason immigrants might bring these diseases into the country is that they are less likely to have been vaccinated.

It’s not the only reason. There are tremendous differences between sanitation and hygiene practices in third world countries and the US. Polio, for example, was found to have been spread through fecal matter. Improved public sanitation systems, chlorinating pools, etc. have helped to reduce these diseases.

“The only thing that drove these diseases into countrywide remission is vaccines.”

Over time, populations will become more and more resistant to infections just as a natural course.

Vaccines are not the only way.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking. If we don't control who is in the US and what their health and vaccination record is, we'll have to keep poisoning our kids with stronger vaccines. It's one of the best arguments for stopping the invasion and sending home those who are here illegally.
