The vaccine has been around for a long time. Get it or stay out of school.

Evidently the state of Washington is going wacko with the whooping cough vaccine. The number of cases has skyrocketed over the past few years. . . .I wonder why?

The main reason is because parents are choosing not to vaccinate their children.


The main reason is all the illegals, etc. in this country who were not screened for health issues. Duh! Just go to the Dr. Mercola Website www.mercola.com for his research on vaccinations. . .it is very troubling.

Illegals don’t care about vaccinations. If their kids are it to five, they are immune to most diseases. Too bad for the weaker ones.

It’s not just illegals. The Marshallese, who are in this area (NW Arkansas) legally but are slackers about getting the or kids vaccinated, have introduced a major mumps outbreak into the school system.

“I know PHDs that stay away from vaccination”

Who says an advance degree makes you intelligent? After all these people “earn” these degrees from the same kind of crap they are trying to be.

Certainly not me, I have seen many highly educated people make poor choices.

That doesn’t make me wise
