anti-vaxxers using Brady Bunch to justify making kids sick/dying

[christiefan915]

It's terrifying to think that disease could be weaponized and dispersed simply via international jet travel, isn't it?

Yes it is. We have to be so careful nowadays.

Too bad there isn’t a stupidity vaccine. We could eliminate liberalism

And ebola. None of these people were illegals.

Overall, eleven people were treated for Ebola in the United States during the 2014-2016 epidemic. On September 30, 2014, CDC confirmed the first travel-associated case of EVD diagnosed in the United States in a man who traveled from West Africa to Dallas, Texas. The patient (the index case) died on October 8, 2014. Two healthcare workers who cared for him in Dallas tested positive for EVD. Both recovered.

On October 23, 2014, a medical aid worker who had volunteered in Guinea was hospitalized in New York City with suspected EVD. The diagnosis was confirmed by the CDC the next day. The patient recovered.

Seven other people were cared for in the United States after they were exposed to the virus and became ill while in West Africa, the majority of whom were medical workers. They were transported by chartered aircraft from West Africa to hospitals in the United States. Six of these patients recovered, one died.[SUP][2][/SUP]

I think Ebola is one of the scariest diseases in existence. They don't know where it comes from or what causes it but it flares up from time to time. There is an interesting book about it called The Hot Zone. It was published decades ago but I read it during one of the times there was an outbreak somewhere.

I agree! That's how it used to be. You had to provide proof of vaccines for school. I don't want to be exposed to all this crapola. What's next? Polio back in the mix?

Gods, I hope not.

Maureen McCormick is a bimbo. She's whining that her image is being used by individuals without her asking her first. Maybe she's too stupid to understand what being a celebrity means? Maybe she's too stupid to understand the concept of Fair Use.

The Brady Bunch episode was right. Measles is no worse than a cold or flu. Anti-vaxxers have always been around, but it wasn't until very recently that people started to go ballistic over them. We live in a state where the Left is at constant war with our freedoms, and they scream and cry to try to force compliance with their demands.

BUT THINK OF THE CHILDREN

Measles before the vaccine

Before the vaccine, measles affected almost all of the population at some point in their lives. There were approximately three to four million cases, and an average of 450 deaths due to measles annually in the United States.

Every two to three years there was an epidemic of the infection affecting millions. Approximately 50 percent of the population had measles by the time they were six years old, and 90 percent had the disease by the time they were 15 years old.

Before the age of vaccination

Measles

Before the vaccine, nearly everyone in the United States got measles. There were roughly 3 million to 4 million cases each year, and an average of 450 measles-associated deaths reported annually between 1953 and 1963.

That would be 10 years x 450 deaths = 4,500

What does the GOP have to do with stupid anti-vaxxers?

They're not "anti-vexers", they ARE plague-enthusiasts.

I looked it up, it was written about 20 years before most of us even heard about ebola. It looks like a good read.

According to you aka NO FUCKIN BODY!!!!

Make the rules for yourself kid, not others, mind your own fuckin business & you will be ok........

Their FREEDOM to not vaccinate, ends at the point they infect someone else; ie: kids to young to be vaccinated or unable to vaccinate due to medical conditions.

 

[USFREEDOM911]

Well let me explain it to you like you are stupid. Which you are

The anti vaxxer PLAQUE ENTHUSIASTS movement has had fits and starts throughout history but the most recent trend began in 1998 with a report linking vaccines to autism because of the use of thimerosal. That is 21 years in case you can’t add

https://vaxopedia.org/2018/04/15/when-was-the-last-measles-death-in-the-united-states/

This link will show you the number of measles outbreaks by year

Notice that even after the anti vaxxer PLAQUE ENTHUSIASTS movement the numbers of measles cases are pretty stable

But now all of a sudden we see a this big increase. And the increase is happening in large states with large illegal immigrant populations

But hey if you think it is a coincidence then that is fine.

I can only present you the facts. I can’t make you absorb it.

Please excuse me; but I fixed your post.

Coming across the southern boarder with a very contagious disease is ok!

Mexicans are vaccinated at a higher rate than in the US, black pole-smoker.

Ra-men. Add to that list ppl who have had organ transplants, cancer treatment, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, or any other medical condition that causes a suppressed immune system. Then there are pregnant mothers as well, and newborns, and older ppl whose immunity has waned.

Anti-vaxxers aren't just risking their own childrens' lives; they are threatening others as well.

 

[CharacterAssassin]

Common sense guided by experience

If it was eliminated in 2000 then where did the vectors come from?

Had to be from out of the country. I get it this is hard stuff for you to understand. That is why I am here to help make the complicated simple even for dummies like you

Ah, so you're both cum-drunk and you've been up for at least a week again. Prolly from meth from one of the cartels.

Why do you support Mexican gangs?

 

[USFREEDOM911]

don't politicize the Brady Bunch anti vaxxer PLAQUE ENTHUSIASTS, that is all

FTFY

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

Mexicans are vaccinated at a higher rate than in the US, black pole-smoker.

Yep.

 

[USFREEDOM911]

Yes, I remember that. I never bought the autism claims. The anti vaxxer PLAQUE ENTHUSIASTS are the reason this is happening. Even if a single illegal didn't get into this country, a single traveler could bring it over. It's that contagious. I hope those MMR shots last a lifetime. I know I had one.

FTFY

 

[CharacterAssassin]

Yep.

It's always a toss up for me: what's more surprising? Their stupidity or their stupidity?

 

[USFREEDOM911]

Measles is so contagious, you can catch it just by being in a room where an infected person has been two hours earlier.

And all they have to do is cough, one time for it to be a problem for two hours.

 

[USFREEDOM911]

People in Third World countries would kill to have our vaccines and our medical technology to spare their kids from contagious diseases, yet ignorant righties like you have to make it political. FTR there were approximately110,000 deaths from measles and its complications worldwide in 2017. Deaths, from a disease that can be prevented by vaccination. Shows how much you guys care about kids.

What's stopping liberals to provide the immunizations; because Hollywood and liberal Congressmen are extremely wealthy??

On this we agree.

My mother lived through a large polio outbreak, during the 1940s.

Her parents and her lived a fairly small community and neighbors (Mom, Dad, and two children) who everyone saw alive, the night before, were all found dead the next morning.

The history of polio (poliomyelitis) infections extends into prehistory. Although major polio epidemics were unknown before the 20th century, the disease has caused paralysis and death for much of human history. Over millennia, polio survived quietly as an endemic pathogen until the 1900s when major epidemics began to occur in Europe; soon after, widespread epidemics appeared in the United States. By 1910, frequent epidemics became regular events throughout the developed world, primarily in cities during the summer months. At its peak in the 1940s and 1950s, polio would paralyze or kill over half a million people worldwide every year

That equates to 5 million people

with the most serious occurring in the 1940s and 1950s. In the epidemic of 1949, 2,720 deaths from the disease occurred in the United States

Just imagine where the LUCKY ONES, had to live in an iron lung; sometimes for years.

The US and the rest of the world could be looking at pandemics and not just from measles.

When we were all vaccinated for small pox, I never got a scar. The doctor said I had a natural immunity.

I hope you don't mind; but I fixed part of your post.

Toadstool was against vaccines before he was for them:

"Before winning the presidency, Trump several times alleged there was a link between the number of vaccines children get in early infancy and the development of autism."
(https://www.statnews.com/2019/04/26/trump-vaccinations-measles/)

But you're right; idiocy and idiot parents belong to both sides of the political spectrum.

I remember that. If I ever get to meet Andrew Wakefield, he would definitely feel that sting. Asshole that he is. Having to deal with the stupid surrounding that study for the past few years has made me a wee bit angry about the whole thing.
