I just ran across the following propaganda, which seems to blame the unvaccinated for the spread of measles and polio.

And then goes on to state... “A football player nearly died on national TV, and fears about vaccines fanned across the internet.”

The rest is under a pay wall.

THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT VACCINE HESITANCY
America can’t shake the feeling that vaccination rates are about to plummet. The facts say otherwise.

By Daniel Engber

The world has just seen the largest vaccination campaign in history. At least 13 billion COVID shots have been administered—more injections, by a sweeping margin, than there are human beings on the Earth. In the U.S. alone, millions of lives have been saved by a rollout of extraordinary scope. More than three-fifths of the population elected to receive the medicine even before it got its full approval from the FDA.

Yet the legacy of this achievement appears to be in doubt. Just look at where the country is right now. In Florida, the governor—a likely Republican presidential candidate—openly pursues the politics of vaccine resistance and denial. In Ohio, kids are getting measles. In New York, polio is back. A football player nearly died on national TV, and fears about vaccines fanned across the internet.

Unquote...

So their effort is to blame those refusing these vaccines on recent outbreaks of viruses. And those crossing illegally into our country without vaccinations are not to blame?

Yeah—typical leftist propaganda article—randomly mashes together a bunch of separate issues, throws in some name calling and finger pointing, and then blames right-wing extremists for anything and everything.

Rush used to call it “drive by journalism”.

It is really like a drive by execution by journalistic thugs.
