Like the ad lady says, “I’m not quite sure how something that’s just a little, tiny prick can be so powerful in so many different ways.”

PS - I'm not talking about the vax...

if your child dies from a disease they could have avoided through vaccination, you should be charged with culpable manslaughter, if not murder

Here’s the thing. You know these antivax mo-rons were vaccinated by their own parents and have never seen the devastating effects of these diseases. I’m an old and there were no vax when I was a kid, except for smallpox and polio.

I had all of these things and it was really no fun. The measles left me hearing-impaired. That’s for life. Never gets better; in fact, the older I get, the worse the loss gets.

These people calling themselves ‘doctor’ who actively crusade against vaccinations should be horsewhipped.

Hey, here’s a great reminder to all adults with the means to go get your titers for vaccinations checked if you can. Because if one wore off or you never got it, best to go now and get that sucker done before you go to the mall and catch the most communicable and deadly disease humans can get. Also, probably you could use a tetanus booster and pertussis anyways because those wear off. And pertussis is bad for old folks as well as wee tiny folks too small to get their shots yet. Be the herd you want to see in the world!

If it can't be cured through leaching or bleeding, is it really even a disease?

Some people are just impervious to the benefits of civilization, I suppose.

Parents who are are anti-vax for bizarre conspiratorial reasons are definitely the parents most qualified to decide if their unvaccinated kids should go to school. Sheesh, that is just plain good 'ol Florida commonsense.

Ladapo could always either make up or twist more "data" and put out another "peer-reviewed" study saying a measles outbreak actually benefits our communities. Ladapo knows he can find "peers" among the same Concerned Physicians for a Concerned America's Concerns* group he emerged from (via Fox News) in the first place; he might even be able to conjure some of those real demons to sexxxxy time his dreams and inspire the words he uses to pull the med-jargon wool over the public's gullible eyes.

*perhaps not their real name, but close.

I'm old, we didn't have the MMR vaccine when I was a kid. Predictably, I caught all three which was hailed as a medical miracle because now I was immune! A lifetime of sinus and hearing problems later, they're right. I never got reinfected with those particular illnesses.
