As a West Texas county is dealing with a measles outbreak, experts are reminding Americans outbreaks like these can be avoided with safe, effective and available vaccines.

Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Abraham sent a directive to state health workers Thursday ending long-standing mass vaccination clinics and banning staff from promoting seasonal vaccines.

Have the demented orange pedo and heroin addict RFK Jr given a shoutout to the paste-eating dumfux responsible for this outbreak yet?

Gaines County, Texas, which has one of the highest rates of vaccine exemptions in the entire state.

What a collection of MAGA dumbasses. I'll bet their all scratching their heads wondering what happened to them.

These people act like they don't want to live. And don't want their kids to live.

Yeah, but I'm sure they'll just write it off as migrants so the anti-vaxx nuts can continue living in their fantasy land.

"Nazi theory indeed specifically denies that such a thing as the truth' exists. There is, for instance, no such thing as Science' ... If the Leader says of such and such an event, It never happened'-well, it never happened. If he says that two and two are five-well, two and two are five. This prospect frightens me much more than bombs."

Bet that most likely those measles came from illegal aliens.

The point of vaccination is to prevent catching a contagion... if you've been exposed to it... ergo if those "Yanquis" had vaccinated their kids... hulllooooooo... but ohhhh noooooooo we need a wall to keep us safe from airborne microbes... like there is a long history of that working.... pffffftttttt

It's been proven worldwide... since the 18th century... borders don't prevent disease... vaccinations do... there is not a government in the world that doesn't know this.

Mexico is a bastion of capitalism that the US treats like $#!T... until they want to "retire" there... in that... according to you... disease-infested country. They do it... because they can't afford to retire at home.
true story...

But your remark is typical of a well-vaccinated military buffoon... living off the government... looking for a reason to fight... and harm civilians... mostly poor capitalists looking for work... in a country where their own kids are "too good" to do lowly back-breaking farm, factory or service work...

Geeze... if it doesn't exist in your tiny sphere of thought... smh

Of course.

But catering to the dumbf*cks is what the GOP does best. Appease them no matter who it hurts.

Just give them brawndo and it will all be fine.

We are entering a new period of idiocracy thanks to the low IQ outrage about their lives sucking.

Their outrage over them being continually being screwed over by billionaires has led them to put their trust and faith in billionaires to fix everything the billionaires have been doing for the last fifty years.

You can't cut taxes for the 1% if the government is paying for vaccinations for the bottom 50%. Just ask Polio Bobby about that. He vaxxed his kids, but wrote a hole book about how vaccines are bad. ALways look at what they do, not what they say.

/Yeah, don't blame their parents for ont getting their kids vaccinated. Blame poor people who didn't have the opportunity to get vaccinated Brilliant!

These are the same people in high school who moaned about English lit.

Said that they would never use it.

Low IQ or laziness?

A lot of it was wanting to fit in with other lazy, stupid people.

Which I guess that MAGA allows them to do.

I wonder....If MAGA pooled all of its resources, how many eggs would it have?

When my kids were litof opportunities to get precentive healthcaretle I had very little money so I took axvantage for them free. We went to the oublic library where the Counry Health Dept. was offerinf free vaccinations so that kids could be registered for school. I don't know how it is in other states but in Florida vaccinations are required and guess what happened because of that? Diseases like Polio were virtually eliminated. If I was in a church that forbids vaccinations I'd find a better church. But het, that's just me!

"Bet that most likely those measles came from illegal aliens."

Why does that matter?

Why do you want Americans to be so weak as to succumb to the diseases of foreigners?

There was a reason we were required to have ALL our shots before we deployed overseas.

Oh, is it time to point out that Mexico has better vaccination rates than the US again?
