    A completely preventable disease, and here we are.

    All because we have so many stupid people in this country…if Democrats ever get a decent majority, I hope they bring back vaccination requirements with a vengeance, and for public schools and working in hospitals and things like the military and so on, close the loopholes for people that have “religious” objections to basic science and medicine.

    Don’t like it? Too bad. Citizenship also comes with responsibilities.

      Five years ago, I felt like ultra-liberal Portland Oregon was awfully vaccine hesitant. I believe it may have shifted as a reaction to Trump 2.0 and Covid, but a lot of what I think of as anti-science still exists. But at least democrats don’t put RFK in charge of vaccines.

    We need some kind of vaccine to make sure this kind of thing doesn’t happen to people. Maybe we could combine it with a mumps and rubella inoculation?

    I mean, it won’t bother me. I’m already neurodiverse. So, vaccines only make me stronger.

    It used to be patriotic to be vaccinated

    Which really emphasizes how these are actual traitors

    Alright, cool. Now lets take a tally of anti-vaxxers among the infected.

    How’s THAT working for ya? Oh, me? I’m fine. I’m sitting over here in public, without measles. You know, on account of how I’m not an idiot?

      Herd immunity isn’t for those who won’t get vaccinated, it’s for those who can’t.
