Is the MMR vaccine safer than the measles?

That’s quite a claim. Prove it CNN!! If you did fair/balanced reporting your readers would learn how ineffective & dangerous the MMR is. How it spreads vac strain infection. How deadly it can be to the genetically challenged subset AND African American baby boys. GotVitaminA?

Get you shots & your children too

This tweet is fake news

I say the human race is destined to destroy itself.

Maybe I should send this to all me classmates coz we getting two injections, they'd be proper scared

FactsMatter WakeUpAmerica

More and more people are becoming aware of the danger of VaccineInjury cases shwojg how the big pharma toxic chemical cocktails have destroyed the lives of and killed countless innocent people.

Vaccination against diseases is good but the increasing of 'vaccinations' is suspect imo. Not enough studies have been done, independently away from the AMA and other institutions that may or may not be honest, to determine side effects of the huge recommended.

More like illegal immigration is causing an uptake in measles.

To all Republicans, I say don't vaccinate, its a hoax. To all Democrats I say vaccinate, I am only telling Republicans not to so we can reduce the stupid people in the country.

CNN - big pharma shills

Vaccines today are not as effective like they were years ago. If they were we would not see the vaccinated people getting sick for the very diseases they are vaccinated against. Y’all are polarized & fighting vacc. vs. anti-vacc & missing the point. They don’t work!!!

That happens when business and misinformation are put on top of people

Yes, Republicans are now a serious danger to public health. Thanks a lot, Putin.

SuzanneEvans1 The solution is easy. Before they removed single vaccination as a choice with MMR there was no problem. Then they removed single vac and uptake became a problem. The solution is easy if you remove the business interest. Throw it open, choice of MMR or single vac will resolve it

Quit Lying!... people are waking up and no longer are we believing the BS

Vaccinations work. Not to take our history into consideration prior to them is insane.

Anti-Vacers and Flat-earthers need to be put on an island in the middle of the ocean to fend for themselves.

SuzanneEvans1 Big pharma says take the meds.. $$$$$$.. Kerching..

I thought this kind of stupid things were exclusivity of my country (Brasil). It's sad to realize it is alround the world.

Plus who is cnn to call something fake news. The pot calling the kettle black.

They were reporting on our local news this week that an outbreak of epidemic proportions is inevitable here in Colorado due to the low rate of children receiving vaccinations. I remember when I was a kid, we couldn’t start the school year w/o showing up-to-date vax records.

Weed out the weak.

Has this country’s intelligence completely vanished?

Crooks everyday spinning for coup attempt (no bigger crime) instead news. How can we trust post service, McDonald's, vaccination? Pelozites its just too much. securetheborder to uphold your Law for Christ sake SaturdayThoughts BREAKING

No, that dick that faked his study and Jenny McCarthy are directly responsible. And stupid people that believe everything they hear without solid evidence.

I don't understand why people fall for lies so easily. People who think vaccines are harmful are just like the folks who believe the pro-life lie that doctors kill babies.

Idiots

Last month, I attended a play with this EXACT same plot... A popular TV doctor suggested that vaccines weren't necessary. Measles outbreak ensues. One thing after another, his career eventually crumbles. I thought.. No way that could happen in real life. Guess I was wrong.

If I recollect this propaganda was coming from the US and from specific so called doctors. Yes a few discredited doctors in the U.K. were involved but to now blame social media is really disingenuous.

I’m for vaccines but how are you able to say it’s fake news? Rise is measles is = the increase in unvaccinated migrants flooding unprepared populations.

They are anti vax until their children get sick

Call them Pro-Plague

If you want some fake vaccine news, head on over to Fox...
