Well, I'm glad some of these bastards are getting what they wanted.
If it weren't for immunocompromised people and children, I'd say that I welcome all anti-vaxxers to stick with their beliefs and learn first-hand why we invented vaccines to begin with (plus a society with fewer belligerent cranks is more stable and less prone to supporting authoritarian/far right ideology). It's a shame they have to hurt innocent people with their bullshit too
Congratulations on winning stupid prizes. My heart will only break for children who don’t have a choice in what their idiotic parents decide for them. SMH so dumb
I read this story somewhere else yesterday and saw in the comments someone trying to justify it by saying "the media is keepin it a secret these people were Amish to spread their pro vaxx lies" like that would make it any better. I imagine part of the reason of having mandatory vaccines is try to and protect the innocent children of religious extremists from dying needlessly for being part of a sect they had no choice in joining.
Haven't seen any confirmation the victims were Amish, but given the location, it wouldn't shock me. I think if that is the case, it still highlights we have 2 problems instead of just 1.
Even if they were Amish, not all Amish are anti-vax or anti modern medicine. I used to run EMS in an area with a large Amish community and we went out for Amish frequently. Sometimes you'd roll up and they'd be coating our patient in essential oils (not exaggerating, I've seen it), and sometimes you'd roll up and family would hand you a doctor's printout of the patients medication list and calmly explain to you the patients medical history, what doctors they were seeing, and what for.
That is great to hear! I wouldn't assume they are all monolithic, but the last part of that sounds better than I'd have pictured.
There are sub groups within Amish. The zealots are the worst. They are also the poorest and least educated.
There should be a limit on the amount of children you can have if you don't vaccinate them.
Your first child isn't vaccinated? Sorry, you should get your tubes or dick tied, and are prohibited from raising any child.
What an age we live in
The age where we let people in the country with measles that have never been vaccinated. We used to quarantine for this very reason.

Ah here we go with the blame immigrants for everything bullshit that you anti-american trash love to parrot.
Good news! Because of Epstein's 15 year best friend (the dementia riddled narcissistic psychopathic child rapist felon seditionist traitor trump) has appointed a guy who was a heroin addict for 15 years and snorts cocaine off of toilet seats as the joke face of HHS, we now have to deal with his supremely retarded anti-vaccine lies and bullshit that have caused measles cases to surge to an ALL TIME HIGH.
Not to mention the gutting of USAID by the other famous felon traitor Elon in his pursuit of stealing all of our personal data and killing all the investigations into his corruption.
Stopping the programs that give food and vaccines to impoverished countries will for sure help stymie immigration and people entering the country with previously eradicated diseases.
Good job destroying not only the US but the entire world, magat filth.
No I blame INS as they should be screening for this and quarantining. Instead the poor immigrant gets sick in a new country and doesn't know what to do. Since hospitals are few in far between in Afghanistan this is understandable.
But hey I must me anti immigration because I have legitimate issues on how we take care of new comers to our land...
USAID has NOTHING to do with what I was talking about and defaulting to Trump is low hanging fruit these issues had been happening under Biden too.
But hey blame everyone but the ones not doing their job, what ever makes you sleep better at night.
I'd agree with you if it weren't for children and immunocompromised people. It's a shame it can't be only adult antivaxxers who die in outbreaks like this
As a person on a medication that has side effects that make me somewhat immunocompromised, I understand what you’re saying, and nominally agree - but at this point, they’re not going to fucking stop. If that end of the gene pool decides they want to make it even shallower, I can’t do shit about it, so I might as well hope for a silver lining.
I feel owned? Oh, wait, it’s over now.
Oh No! Anyway...
I feel sorry for the family victims of those irresponsible family members
