And Mexico is gonna pay

GlennaKnits The fad of anti-vaccination is not a fad but a real crisis. Your kids are not a fad, they are human beings that need protection.

The source of this must be known.

STOP TAKING MEDICAL ADVICE FROM FACEBOOK, BECKY!

I am curious, where are all the problems back in my day or even before my day about autism etc. as the reason why they are not getting kids vaccinated? Common sense is gone, that is the problem!

Look, when we get to the 55,000+ cases 1989 - 1992, let us know. And even then, the 1971 outbreak was 100 times worse than where we are today. The media is causing unnecessary panic and fear.

and 9000+ cases of active TB in the US in 2018 . If it were me, I'd take the measles over TB any day

4 million with autism, yet no panic. Because you can’t catch it? Guess what. You can. It’s called Alzheimer’s.

一致団結みんなで予防対策を将来の新しい命の為に

Sooooo am I the only one who finds it off that the only group of people they mentioned that aren't vaccinating are Orthodox Jews...I mean people that aren't Jewish aren't vaccinating also...

New York, the state where it’s easier to get the measels than a big gulp. measlesoutbreak

Fear and loathing

Vaccinate your children!! Jeez, how hard is that?

So how does 'herd immunity' work again?

People. WTH.

Yet, virtually no one will admit that thousands of unvaccinated individuals crossing the southern boarder then being dispersed across the US poses a health issue.

How is this even legal for the general population? You can’t even take peanuts to school or on airplanes because of allergic reactions. How can they be allowed to endanger the lives of thousands or millions?

Lugar? Found in my home.

Is it due to NSA? Help remove stole 2016 from White House. They have no right to stay there working with NSA to harm American citizens. Trump is long deposed and they are using him to traffick cocaine through NSA. Gold & Money Back due w/ our vote back.

So many comrades in this thread.

Even the MD's know immunity doesn't come from vaccines nor does herd immunity. These either come from mother's milk that already has the antibodies or exposure to measles that is NOT a disease. The outbreaks are coming from the vaccinations that anyone with an education knows.

Natural Lifetime Immunity!!! Yay!

Local business are doing there part to capitalize and spread the word. 😏

Get your shot.

Time to start punishing the parents for preventable child abuse.

Open borders and unchecked illegals

kitten4trump why?

BREAKING: Stupid and Measles are both contagious.

New York City? The Sanctuary New York City where Illegals come + stay + aren’t citizens + no one checks what diseases they bring? You mean THAT New York City? DeBlasio’s NYC? AOC’s NYC? Research DeBlasio,(who accessed Acorn, 2 B elected. Remember THEM)?Sandanista-Lovin DeBlasio

Who the heck is that creepy man with pig tails? wtf?

Might be time to start jailing anti-vaxers. Measles is a warning.

Get your vaccinations! Also: open the border to thousands of people who have never been vaccinated! Also: you’re a racist!

So much for herd immunity... since many of the cases are ppl that had the vax.

Really, a Jew?

Don’t you get it...ignorance kills.

And more measles causes in US will develop with caravans of unvaccinated illegal immigrants forcing their way through our southern border.

Vaccines cause autism fact

If only we had a way to prevent the measles! 🙄 Vaccinate

Why are all Presidential candidates not talking about vaccination?

Why?
