PING!
NYC so it must be the hippy variant or the illegals
So they know for sure it was caused by people refusing vaccines and not uncontrolled immigration?
Are they sure it is antivaxxers and not illegal aliens?
Local mechanic I know just came down with the chicken pox. He is around 50 years old. Illegals?
OK, so only the unvaccinated get the disease. What’s the issue?
You can’t fix stupid. But a vaccine against it would be welcome.
Thank folks like Jenni McCarthy and Alex Jones. They spout nonsense and hysteria and try to make out that it is factual.
For those of us who remember just how dangerous measles can be, I say a pox on their houses
Was Jim Carrey available for comment?
Eh, I had them thanks to my brother, at age 5.
When my kids were young, parents had parties to infect their kids properly.
When my daughter was a baby, she couldn’t have the measles vaccine b/c she is allergic to eggs.
I asked the specialist if the vaccine were necessary or not.
He said virulent strains of measles were coming in from South East Asia and that he thought it was extremely important to get the measles vaccination.
Why do we keep seeing this idiotic fallacy crop up in the news? It’s not anti-vaccine crusaders responsible for outbreaks of diseases that WERE effectively eradicated from this nation, it’s third world immigrants.
But the cognitive dissonance on the left and in the media is so intense that they can’t possibly blame a public health catastrophe on the people that are actually carrying, spreading, and subject to the diseases in question.
Poor, uneducated, unvaccinated (to coin a word) illegal immigrants are both a vector and a reservoir of communicable diseases formerly eradicated in the United States - blaming unrelated parties, no matter how moonbattish you may believe their philosophies, does absolutely nothing to address the public health consequences involved, does nothing to educate the public about the issues. The only purpose of such misinformation is to vilify what the media deem ideological miscreants.
We COULD advocate rational border protections (especially at major ports of entry), disease screenings of prospective immigrants, require vaccination records or medical evaluation for foreign travelers, and educate the public about the disease risks posed by international immigration.
Any and all of those policies would have more beneficial influences on public health than letting depraved leftists blame innocent parties for the resurgence of vanished diseases.
whoever believes this is a moron. how are any of the vacinated going to get sick? they-re vaccinated! they are protected, they have the glorious shot that always works and has no adverse side effects, ever.
this is like blaming people who don’t carry guns for you getting robbed.
illegals = measels
sanctuary city
commie libtard mayor
what next, the plague ???
Modern superstitions seek support in questionable science.
The writer doesn’t think it is from illegals from all the cesspools of the world? My pediatrician said, “If you are putting off vaccinations, do not go to Target or Walmart.”
I don’t know anyone that didn't have german measles.
The only thing I didn't like was the 2 weeks quarantine!
Four things I see:
1. Illegal immigrants are certainly reviving illnesses that were all but wiped out in the US. Whooping cough is a good example.
2. Some vaccines have passed the test of time and worth receiving.
3. Big pharma wants a steady stream of income to replace drugs going out of patent. The legal protection and steady schedule of vaccines looks like a winner. Pay attention to the news and you will hear about vaccines for everything from cervical cancer to gambling addiction or alcoholism prevention. Be wary.
4. You cannot find reliable reporting on the dangers of vaccines or pharma products in general. No organization wants to lose the revenue dollars generated by advertisements. Especially egregious are PBS and NPR. Underwriters my foot.
