Nice positive start to the day

And your point is? Wow wait a second I think I had a post on something like this I'll have to go look it up.

Many American haters are miserable with their lives, and seek out nothing but misery to spew on others

That's what happens when you let in millions of unvetted migrants from God knows where.  They bring their diseases and their lifetime of poor hygiene with them. 

 

It's not their fault.  The blame goes to the administration that told us for years that Joe didn't have the authority to stop it.  Then Trump did stop it, within weeks.  Thank God we dodged another 4 years of that misery. 

 

Edit:  But it's going to take years, maybe decades to clean up that mess, with the Dems (and syndrome sufferers) fighting every step of the way.

 

Another win for the Trump clown show!

False. That's what happens when you decide not to vaccinate your children against measles. It's one of the most highly contagious viral diseases there is. You have to get to 95% vaccination before herd immunity makes its spread virtually impossible.

It's what happens when you have a secretary of health who advocates using vitamin A to treat the disease if you decide not to vaccinate your children.

There are effective vaccines for measles and other diseases.

 

Measles, Mumps, and Rubella comes in one vaccine, these days, as I recall.

 

Therefore, one should avail oneself of the use of these, for better health and a longer lifespan.

 

 

This topic can't be treated so trivially. I believe that traditional vaccinations can certainly make sense, but they don't necessarily provide protection — I know people who were vaccinated and still got measles after contact with people from other countries carrying different virus strains. I do support the fight against Big Pharma. When it comes to COVID vaccinations, I'm critical due to the sharply rising number of cancer cases among young people — several high-ranking cancer researchers in the U.S. had warned about this. After my own vaccination, I experienced severe swelling in one leg, similar to a thrombosis.

"Measles is highly contagious. If one person has it, up to 9 out of 10 people nearby will become infected if they are not protected. The best protection against measles is measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. MMR vaccine provides long-lasting protection against all strains of measles."

No fixing stupid.

It is an effective amd safe vaccine. However not 100procent and not directly after the first jab.

Immigrants will never be stopped from entering, and Trump has no hand in it. This has been going on for decades and will continue as long as work's available, or family to live with. No president has any control over immigrants coming in. The justice system can deport them and find and deport those hiding, and punish those committing crimes, then deportation. Democrats don't want illegals coming as does any person who values America, unless they can change it to legal work which many have.

Maybe the uptick in measles cases can be traced to a cod liver oil shortage.

I suspect that's due to the French hogging all those cod livers to make pâté.

Good idea. Seal off America from all visitors, so you can eat yourselves to death behind your walls.

 

Measles apparently had zoonotic origins in bison and other hoofed animals, I guess you need to cull them out of existence too. Sterilize any import with UV.

 

You have an anti-vaxxer as your head of health. Viruses don't give a damn about national borders.

 

What could possibly go wrong?

Sadly the same thing is happening in Europe due to these ridiculous theories. The result is children / adults left with life-long medical issues unnecessarily.

 

A quite intelligent guy at work in the UK confided in me that Covid vaccines had tracking capability. It amazes me what people will believe.

 

There is a critical percentage of unvaccinated people in the population that will eventually lead to an outbreak. That number is now being reached.

I forgot to ask you to provide a link to an article naming these high ranking cancer researchers in the U.S. who had warned about this. Would you do that, please? I'd had to think that you were just making this up.
