Emster23 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Is this the result of parental negligence, being of a certain religious persuasion? Have they bought the load of stupidity put forth by the Taliban about vaccine being some impotence causing CIA plot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 This strain of Measles seems to be very deadly, and if parents still are not getting their children vaccinated, well what can we do? Watch more poor children and babies die because of their parents ignorance.. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
