Which person 'was'the oversee-er of NYC school system in the vaccine Dept!¿

Less than 0.1% of people who contract measles die from it. Vaccines injure/kill far more people than measles do. If you pro-vaxxers care so much about the children, stand up and say something about the ARSENIC found in baby food or the GLYPHOSATE in kids cereals. slapyourself

610wtvnnews Some scary shit right there.

Since it's a Sanctuary City NYCMayor illegal people should not be afraid to get their shots! Failure to assimilate means they still live as if in a third world country, so they don't listen to you!

Measles - scabies - malaria - yellow fever - diptheria - dengue - TB - aids - chicken pox - flu - syphilis ... Coming to a Sanctuary City near you ... and you kids ?

well that is what happnes when you turn your city into a sanctuary city and you blame it to a group of people that has nothing to do with it..

Does that include undocumented illegal immigrants who are not vaccinated?

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

This is the result from irresponsible parents who live in a bubble of personal beliefs, seeking any explanation they can, using religious or uneducated self contained medical advice to avoid these vaccines. They don’t want government intervention but we need it to protect others!

As we see gains in our economy, prison reform, right to try, trade gains, a stronger military, lowest unemployment in 50y, urban economic zones working, a growing middle class, a stronger NATO - the DEMs/Media trump America for POTUS hatred due power hungry lobbyists. Please stop

Why the hell are these vaccinations not mandatory like they are in many advanced countries?

Welcome to tyranny. Socialism = tyranny Now you will be fined or jailed for not sticking kids with a poison. AOC

This is a false flag to ultimately mandate vaccination for all citizens in the U. S.
