Americans have every right to be alarmed about the outbreak of measles in pockets of our country with unusually high rates of unvaccinated citizens, especially children. Right now, officials in 22 states are grappling with a resurgence of the disease, which was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000. With over 700 cases already reported and indications that more outbreaks will occur, 2019 will likely see the most recorded cases of measles in decades. And it’s not just measles. In Maine, health officials in March reported 41 new cases of whooping cough,
Is is possible some of these diseases are coming from people who have entered the country illegally, and were not properly vetted?

Is it possible? #1, Well yeah, but IMO, it is a certainty.
The good news is that if you take your vaccinations, you will be fine. These folks only hurt themselves and their kids by trying to live in the 1800s, medicine-wise.

During my naturalization process I had to provide vaccination certificates for EVERYTHING, one of which was MMR (Measles,Mumps,Rubella). and a dozen or so other Canadian infections. If there are outbreaks of these diseases in the USA they have certainly come across the border. They don´t materialize out of thin air.
Keep your eyes open for Ebola symptoms.

The antivaxers posit the arguments against vaccination as either an issue of personal freedom or toxic side effects (ignoring gthe fools who claim vaccines represent a global conspiracy). And if the failure to be vaccinated affected only the individual refusing I could accept that. But if your refusal to vaccinate your child risks the health of my family and the general public then first I´d argue that no parent has the right to risk the health of their own children and secondly no unvaccinated individual should ever be allowed in a public place - period. Not school, not a theater, not a ballpark, not an amusement park, not any public transportation - no place EVER without documentation of being properly vaccinated. And if YOU through refusal harm my family - God help you.

Wah, wah, wah. When they stop ignoring the murders of thousands of children by stabbing their brains or sucking them out of their mothers´ wombs, I will become concerned about the tens of children who contract a contageous disease that we all had and lived through as children. If you let the government inject unknown substances into your body against your will, what else will you let them do when they order you to submit?

Vaccination stopped smallpox and polio among many other diseases. The science is sound. Autism statistics vary from day to day. What used to be “a little different” gets admission and free tuition from a diagnosis of Autism or Aspergers sx. Cheaper than paying off the various college admission swindlers.

I cannot stand the commercial Kennedy does regarding Roundup. His voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Here we go again... politics aside... please see what the ‘vaccine choice, and vaccine skeptic’ MD’s, Scientists, researchers have to say... there is clearly differing opinions on the data...and more importantly lack of data/studies to support the ‘safe and effective’ slogan..

#7, diagnosis of autism is not easily obtained. And few of them will make it to college. This is not some easy path through education. These kids can be so severely disabled, it breaks your heart for the children and the parents who have to care for them. Their emotional and intellectual capacities are very affected. Teaching them to acquire life skills is exhausting. And it is epidemic right now and continues to get worse. And no one seems to care.

If you know a family with a young child who has autism, I urge you to inform them of the P.L.A.Y. project, based at the University of Michigan. The founder, Dr. Richard Solomon, is a gentle genius. You can find videos of him working with parents and their children at their web site and on youtube. The project now has training centers in several states.
The children respond to Dr. Solomon´s method because it allows them to use their own interests to find a path to communication. If you know children like this, you will weep for joy when you watch Dr. Solomon or his therapists working with the kids and their parents. This good man deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
Autism is real. It is one of the most challenging conditions facing parents because it deprives them of the joy of affection from and communication with their kids. I don´t think it is caused by vaccinations. Those who misuse the diagnosis are evil. But there is real hope for families struggling with it.

Over 4 BILLION dollars has been paid to persons or their families( in the case of death) by the VICP, since 1989. This is a government pay out. Prior to 1986, persons or families could sue pharmaceutical companies for their injuries. Can’t sue them anymore, so if they can’t be sued, they can sell, push their wares with little to lose.. how safe and effective do they have to be? Not as safe as the garden variety pharmaceuticals..

We tend to forget all of the "unaccompanied children" Obola let across the border that scattered to the winds. These people need to be quarantined when they arrive or tossed back over the border.
