There is no scientific link between vaccines and autism, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
Darla Shine, wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Bill Shine, is arguing that serious diseases like measles can help fight cancer.
Shine’s screed against vaccines came on Wednesday after CNN reported on a measles outbreak in Clark County, Washington and Oregon.
“Here we go LOL #measlesoutbreak on #CNN #Fake #Hysteria,” Shine, a former Fox News producer, tweeted, slamming CNN’s coverage of the disease.
“The entire Baby Boom population alive today had the #Measles as kids,” Shine — who, along with the White House, did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment — continued.
“Bring back our #ChildhoodDisease they keep you healthy & fight cancer.”
Shine went on to claim that she had measles, mumps and chicken pox as a child “and so did every kid I knew.”
Because of this, Shine believes she is immune to the disease.
However, despite claiming to be an anti-vaxxer herself, Shine said, “my kids had #MMR [measles mumps and rubella] so they will never have the life long natural immunity I have.”
“Come breathe on me!” Shine continued, on her Twitter, which was first identified by the Daily Beast.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the MMR vaccine is recommended in preventing measles mumps and rubella.
“Children should get two doses of MMR vaccine, starting with the first dose at 12 to 15 months of age, and the second dose at 4 through 6 years of age,” the CDC states.
According to the CDC, more than 70,000 measles cases were prevented in the US between 1994 and 2013 as a result of vaccines.
While many Americans, including Shine, survived the disease after it passed, that hasn’t always been the case.

Don’t know of any cancer shots available yet...while I don’t agree with the lady, I can’t help but believe that when our immune systems get activated for a broad series of diseases, they might also be better at fighting some forms of cancer.
My daughter is a nurse and she says that now that Chicken Pox vaccines have been out long enough to get decent statistics, they are seeing earlier, higher, more severe, and more repeat cases of Shingles among the group that got the shots instead of the disease.
Patrick Henry would have been an anti-vaxxer.
I rest my case.
The Supreme Court ruled a long time ago that you do not have a right to expose other people to disease.
The Supreme Court also ruled that the most vulnerable among us, the unborn child having no voice, can be legally killed. Don't hitch yourself to that wagon. Dem.
