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.

The overarching objective in this ongoing offensive: to divide and terrify Americans -- and win a second Cold War.

Me: Hey government. Russia is dispensing questionable info
aimed at causing mayhem and possibly public health
problems.

Government: Sorry were busy with all agencies looking into
Trumps taxes from the last 50 years. We only
care what Russia does as it pertains to Trump.

All I remember getting when I was a kid was the polio and smallpox vaccines. We didn’t get vaccinated against measles and chickenpox. We toughed it out and did fine. I had the measles and chickenpox but not mumps. My four siblings had mumps.

I don’t remember anybody dying from those but that was back in the dark ages before Internet and social media.

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

As if anybody needs Russians to agree or disagree about anything.

The Russians don’t need special programs for the anti vaxxers. They are too stupid to help in the event of a Russian attack.

“Measles outbreak: Anti-vaccination misinformation fueled by Russian propagandists, study finds”

Apparently the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia now has TWO all-purpose explanations for all phenomena:

1. “Climate Change”, and

2. The Russians did it.

After years of seeing your pissy little limp-wristed whining on Freerepublic I am convinced you must be a big guv stooge. Troll away...my 9 healthy conservative kids who now have engineering and other high paid occupations never received a single vaccination until they were 18. Oh, they also have faith in God’s protection and healing. BTW...I will go toe to toe with you on an IQ test. You pay, i’m There!

Hmmmm. so, now the Russians are trying to destroy us with measles ...

i suspect a more cogent explanation of the resurgence of nearly wiped out diseases in the U.S. is uncontrolled entry of millions of illiterate, unhygienic peasants from 3rd world (shithole) countries ...

Well is this article saying the ‘Russians’ were so successful with having the legal and illegal immigrants not get vaccinated that they tried it with American citizens?

Would someone please tell us the percentage of illegal immigrants that are and are not vaccinated.

Well you certainly put your children at needless risk by denying them routine vaccinations. Measles, mumps, whooping cough, tetanus, etc., are very serious diseases. With your high IQ, you must be aware that Helen Keller was rendered deaf and blind from measles at the age of 2. If she were still alive, I’m sure she would be an ardent advocate of vaccines. My IQ is not particularly impressive, but nonetheless I decided against needlessly exposing my children to potentially crippling or fatal infections — or mental retardation. They really needed whatever intelligence I could pass on to them, there just isn’t that much there. I won’t go toe to toe with you because I am not nearly smart enough to see the upside of not vaccinating my children.

I do think, however, that serial vaccinations are a better way to go than what is done now, and if I were a young parent I would have the course of vaccines given over time, and not all at once. I have also heard that the mercury used in modern vaccines may not be a good idea so I would try to find vaccines that do not contain Hg.

That’s probably because most other kids got the vaccines.

I think it highly likely that Patrick Henry was vaccinated against small pox, the only vaccination that was available in the 1700s, and would have likely favored mandatory vaccination. Certainly, he would have been a proponent of quarantining small pox victims and potential carriers. He was, after all, a hero of the age reason.

My big problem with it is the number of vaccines has nearly doubled since I was a kid. And really do you need thimersol in your veins. The CDC says Thimersol is no longer used. But the ingredient lists for current vaccines says differently.

The feds have had a Vaccine Damage fund since the mid 80s.

I also know people whose healthy children were damaged by vaccines between the ages of 18-30 months.

I cannot even recall what I said to piss you off. And honestly, I cannot recall even exchanging messages with you. Congratulations on your anti vax kids. I am sure you are proud of them.

And IQ tests? Come on, you don’t want to get into that.

PS: Put your kind into a ward with measles patients and let me know how the power of protection from God works out for you.

Don’t you think God has given us the sense to solve these problems and prevent disease? Or do you think that is merely “Satan’s” way of getting us to lower our guard.

You are free to hold whatever positions you want. I honestly don’t care if you drop dead tomorrow. I don’t know you and your opinion means less to me than you could imagine.

Have a good night. Remind me, where did we meet?
