Comment 3:
NYC so it must be the hippy variant or the illegalsComment 4:
So they know for sure it was caused by people refusing vaccines and not uncontrolled immigration?Comment 5: Comment 7:
Local mechanic I know just came down with the chicken pox. He is around 50 years old. Illegals?Comment 8:
All those illegal aliens have nothing to do with it? PGoing back, Comment 7 blames liberals:
It's the deviant hippies who have sucked down the paranoid delusion that vaccination causes autism.porter_knorr must be a deviant hippie
No it’s not. I don’t vaccinate my child and autism was not the reason behind it, other health issues were. I will never understand the conservatives that believe everything they are told about vaccinations from big government, big insurance, and pharma backed doctors.More angry anecdotal logic from Secret Agent Man:
Measles are not 100%, and even with herd immunity there are still break outs at nearly 100% immunity (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16322148)
We are in Orange County, California, where there is also currently a “measles outbreak” I don’t remember 10-14 cases...guess what, every one of them has been in contact with someone who has flown in from the Philippines.
in fact you are more at risk to get the flu if you take the flu vax. just came out this year, meta study of years of data.He's all over Free Republic on this anti-science binge lately. I think Cosmos set him off.
so kind of thwarts the idea that not getting vaxs is stupid.
also they have gotten rid of many vax’s that were created without using aborted cell lines. i dont make a point to benefit from those murdered by abortion at their expense.
Yaelle doesn't understand herd immunity, despite other Freepers talking about it nonstop: Stupid article.OneWingedShark;s echo chamber is working properly:
Sixteen people got the measles in New York. Two were unvaccinated by choice. Two others were infants too yng to be vaccinated. TWELVE PEOPLE WERE ALL VACCINATED.
If vaccinations were so great, who cares if some people aren’t vaccinated? But vaccinated does not equal immune. And it does equal a lot of neurotoxins in the brain. A FREE REPUBLIC would allow freedom to choose and this outbreak is a perfect example.
Don’t support following governments blindly.
I've read that it is illegal aliens that are bringing these illnesses in (and bedbugs, too).NoLibZone blames New York City itself, somehow:
The nation pays a steep price for NYC.
Unvaccinated is a risk, always. If you hunt back on Cracked, you'll get chapter and verse about the dangers of that from a guy who was stationed in Gitmo and dealing with people who have crap his body can't cope with.
ReplyDeleteIt is entirely about breaking the chain of infection. Sure, some people the vaccine doesn't work for. For most it does. It does seem to me the fringes on both sides unite in this stupidity.
That is the one!
DeleteI like cracked at any time, but these new "real experience" articles are fascinating.
This thread is pretty funny, with no official guidance for how to feel Freepers try to react to news that all the fattest states are Conservative strongholds.

Mostly they seem to be trying to blame minorities and EBT cards for skewing the statistics.
DeleteFreepers gonna freep.
DeleteBut their hero, Rush Limbaugh, urges them to do their thing regarding smoking tobacco and eating meat. Mr. Obese heart attack himself. Who am I to argue? I'm not sure I really want all those obnoxious assholes to live a long time. It's too bad that big fat loads in Mississippi haven't figured out that if they have a big huge heart attack in Hawaii like Rush did that they can't pay cash for the best doctors on earth to pull their fat ass out of it. But keep being big Rush fans. Because smoking and being obese is "sticking it to libs"!
Delete"It’s a pity that I can eat fresh/steamed vegetables or other healthy entrees, good for you but if I really want to feel full, unfortunately, it will often be something with a lot of white bread. The local convenience store has 2 hotdogs for $2, if I even eat that much, doesn’t sound like much, I can feel stuffed."

Just remember that, you hotdog eating hypocrite, the next time you disparage food stamp recipients (i.e., minorities) for being "fat." $20/month doesn't stretch very far, does it.
So they know for sure it was caused by people refusing vaccines and not uncontrolled immigration?
ReplyDeleteI love how undocumented-immigrant measles is apparently so infectious that it even sickens the vaccinated. Not like normal, God-fearin', law-abidin' All-American measles, which respects the norms of Western Civilization.
Said it before...but you live one time only, as far as any of us know. It's really tragic that so many people are so actively hostile to science, and will go through life with so little understanding of the world around them.
And I have to add that this is one issue where people on the left are at least as bad as people on the right; no liberal who fearmongers re: vaccination has any right to complain about right-wing climate or evolution deniers (I'm looking at you, Bill Maher).
Continue to spout your liberal nonsense illegal aliens don't bring in disease..
ReplyDeletehttp://www.nafbpo.org/supporting_public_health-disease.htm
Nice unbiased website too, BTW.
Delete1. We're talking about a change in disease rates without a correlated change in immigration rate, so the cause of the measles outbreak above is probably not immigration.
Delete2. Your link is a bit suspect, but yes, allowing immigration has some costs. Historically, the increased of an outbreak of some rare disease is not one of the main ones, though.
Outbreaks are spread from airports these days, not borders.
"Continue to spout your liberal nonsense illegal aliens don't bring in disease."
DeleteCourse they do. They have them or carry them, and it is irrelevant to a society that has universal vaccinations. You got maybe one in a million chance of catching whatever lurgy they are coughing on you (vaccines are not perfect, nor are immune systems). The only time it causes major problems is if it is a disease that does not have a vaccine or if some retarded bobble head gets people het up against vaccines and hits the 10% un- vaccinated that allows the chain of infection to continue.
Sadly, most of the anti vaccine bobble heads seem to be Left wing, but them's the breaks.
For the record - None of my kids or grand kids have had the MMR vaccine. We paid (a lot) for separate vaccinations, spaced about 4 months apart. When most of them were vaccinated, it was the middle of the fuss, and we decided to go safe.
You know who else brings diseases into the country, you peabrained jerkoff?
DeleteAmerican tourists.
Yep, believe it or not, people who go to other countries can get sick, and then they can come back here and get other people sick.
And it's not just American tourists! An Australian can actually fly to Africa or Indonesia, and then fly to America! Seriously!
So clearly, we need to close the borders completely, lest we all get measles.
Or failing that, I guess we could stop listening to paranoid dipshits and racists and, y'know, vaccinate. And maybe even realize that building public health infrastructure in other countries benefits us too, because in the real world, people do actually tend to travel from one place to another.
Shorter version: You're still stupid and terrible at everything.
Or maybe we should have a nice, long quarantine period for any tourist or citizen who wants to enter the country.
DeleteI'm sure that if some conservatarian thought leader spends a couple of weeks "researching" the Thai child-sex trade, he won't object to cooling his heels for a couple of weeks in a quarantine ward, seeing as how it's for FREEDOM.
