Whooping Cough, huh?

Gee, aren’t there vaccines for that? Gee, I wonder how so many cases of Pertussis could have occured?

I’m sure it has nothing to do with the thousands of Obama chilrens he imported, so I just wonder.....

Nothing to do with illegals of course.

You’re wrong.

It’s the wholesale influx of Amish.

They screw up everything. Should be deported.

Obama: If I had a son, he would have whooping cough.

My daughter had a baby three months ago and she is totally against vaccines. I am against most of them.

“My daughter had a baby three months ago and she is totally against vaccines. I am against most of them.”

Good luck with that. That position works okay when you’re surrounded by people who have been vaccinated or are no longer contagious. Now you’re getting an influx of younger illegals who are still going to be spreading all sorts of bugs around.

Last week one of my students missed his Chemistry final exam because he had been exposed to whooping cough and he was quarantined. I couldn’t help to think what an unnecessary aggravation it was! He will have a chance to make up the exam, but I am sure it would have been easier on both of us if he had taken his final with the rest of the class.

I think it’s mainly the self-righteous refusal of so many to use vaccines.

Basically the spread of hippiedom.

Vaccines really aren't the easy call they were when I was a pup. Back then, it was the polio sugar cubes, smallpox, DPT and the basic stuff.

When my kiddies were little, they added a few more.

Now, with all the added crap like Guardisil (which assumes that all kids will be sexually promiscuous), I've gained a little more understanding for the vaccine refusers.

My daughter, who majored in the field of public health, is carefully selective about those which she will give our grandchildren.

This is another attempt of the EXEMPT Congress
and their Tyrant Moslem King
to decimate child survivors of their EV-D68 attacks.
