Herd mentality never ceases to amaze me. You have NO reason to trust our current FOR PROFIT healthcare industry--none. Meticulously cited: …

No I'm not paying full r their stupidity. It's not a state of emergency. Make those families take out loans to pay off their stupidity. Why do the people that don't do stupid crap like this always have to flip the bill? I feel sorry for the kids. They failed at parenting them.

Any deaths from this outbreak are squarely on JennyMcCarthy, and her antivax army of Anti-Science morons. All medications have potential sideaffects. This measlesoutbreak is a deadly sideaffect of Ignorance.

Stop spraying disease & toxic Chemtrails in the air. Thats where all the disease is coming from & they're doing it to create OrderOutOfChaos OrwellianLaws here in Communist Seattle. ForcedVaccinations is just a population control tactic...not gonna happen with my family.

Anyone can have (and keep) a child without any sort of training or education but you have to go to school to cut hair 🤷‍♂️

Per Vaxopedia 16,000 confirmed measles cases, including 86 deaths, have been reported in 12 countries of the Region of the Americas: Antigua and Barbuda (1 case), Argentina (14 cases), Brazil (9,898 cases, including 13 deaths), Need to do something about our border not acceptable

😂😂😂😂

these anti-vax parents should be billed for all the expenses incurred on this outbreak

Every parent of a child too young to be vaccinated that gets measles should sue the parents of the unvaccinated children.

FACT: Vaccines cause Autism

Is it almost time to hand out some Darwin awards to parents with dead kids from preventable diseases?

Unbelievable in us 😨😱🤪

These diseases are right outside your door. All you have to do is stop vaccinating for long enough and the herd immunity rates will fall below the protective threshold. When that happens, disease returns and people suffer. Please consider vaccination!!

😂😂😂 go Murica!!!

'I WON'T vaccinate my children even if it kills them and me...' Well. it is so score one for fatal stupidity. The anti vaccine crowd should be quarantined in internment camps to prevent those innocent victims with compromised immunity from becoming infected and dying.

This makes me so angry. Because of these morons, all of our children are at risk. If you don’t want to vaccinate, go live in the woods away from society.

It’s not an emergency, it’s a political agenda.

Thank you for not vaccinating your children. Yeah! The left strikes again.

I suppose now those anti-vax parents want the gov't to intervene

not to worry. very rarely is measles deadly. the people will get sick - and then they will get better.

Is this a made up crisis? Less people than the caravan so how can it be an emergency?

Lots of cracked anti vaxxers in OR and WA.

I cant believe science hasn't found a way to stop measles yet....

🤦🏻‍♂️😡

Thanks a lot anti vaxxers

Yeah...too bad there’s no way to prevent this from happening. FFS 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Now THIS is an emergency, a real one

A blue state

If only there was some way to prevent this kind of thing.

If you don't vaccinate your damn kids YOU 👏 SHOULD👏 GET 👏 YOUR 👏 KIDS 👏 TAKEN 👏 AWAY.

The good news is, if your kids are vaccinated, this outbreak isn't a problem....

This is not measles, it's polio. Will they rename polio so they can give it to us again?

Thanks MigrantCaravan

This is how we get to Idiocracy.

This is so frustrating. Make mandatory vaccinations a federal law.

If there was only some way modern medicine could control this ....

WHY IN THE USA, NO ONE CONDUCT AN IMPORTANT INVESTIGATION : UnitedStates medical corporations podsazhiv citizens on pills? Why do many Americans start taking antidepressants from school years? We urge to protect children in the US,

Lots of special needs kids coming up, thanks to the absolute ignorance, selfishness and misguided libertarianism of the anti-vaxers

Bravo antivaxxers

Before the vaccine was introduced in 1963 measles was the single leading killer of children in the world.

Mandatory vaccinations. People can't be trusted to make the right decision for their health and those around them.

It is called getting your kids vaccinated, it is so preventable

Vaccinate your children, people. Jesus H.
