It is interesting to me that measles was just a disease you get as a kod. Just like chicken pox. Almost a right of passage. Not that bad. Thankfully we all survived it and the vaccine was just to get it and now you won't have it.
Just wan to make it clear that im not defending antivax just in case. Just saying that's how it was viewed and how I grew up. "If you had it as a child great! That means you are not getting it when you are older when it's worse" not saying it was the best way to look at it, but was how it was. And I meant like chickenpox, in the sense almost everyone has it as a kid. Personally I didn't have measles. But a lot of my friends did. And I remember at one point people from basically the department of health came to the school and vaccinated all the kids (imagine doing that now lol. The outrage!) And idk if that was when it was found/invented or when it was available in my country and it was almost eradicated after that.
Edit* just looked it up because I was curious. The vaccination campaign I mentioned was in the 90s. It looks like it was after the recommendation for a second dosage made in 1989 maybe that's what I got. But then again, I'm not sure since the info I saw was for USA
....what? They're not saying the antivaxxers CREATED the diseases.
.
The diseases were never "gone" as it were. But they are claiming that the diseases weren't showing up in people in countries like the US with anywhere near the same frequency as they have since this antivax nonsense started
.
They're saying antivaxxers gave the diseases an opportunity to make a comeback in humans by spreading misinformation and refusing to get kids vaccinated, putting those who CAN'T get vaccinated at risk while at the same time effectively sentencing their own children potentially to death
ya no shit the point is if you put 10 anti vaxxers in a room alone no one gets polio you need an outside source to get it. they didn't create it in their basement and it doesn't just magically appear. we have morons that think immigration laws are stupid so we have cities that literally don't uphold the law which allows a disease that was eradicated to enter into the country and allows the carrier to stay and spread it to as many unvaccinated people that they com in contact with, more illegals or anti vaxxers or immunocompromised. there blaming this kid for getting polio on anti vaxxers but how many anti vaxxers did he have contact with now how many illegal immigrants. I've never met an anti vaxxer but there's plenty illegals all over these sanctuary city's. id love to see the numbers on how many unvaccinated illegals there are compared to plain us citizen anti vaxxers. i'm betting the numbers are perity low, it dose takes a special kind of stupid the be anti vax .
