Measles is back in the United States, and to understand why, you have to understand where.
When anti-vaccination misinformation leads to a drop in the number of children immunized, a community can lose its “herd immunity.” This happens most often in small, tight-knit communities, in which measles can spread like wildfire. 75% of all recent measles cases have happened in those types of communities.
In order for everyone to be protected from measles, all people who can get vaccinated need to. But most states allow parents to opt out of vaccinating their children for any philosophical reason – and that’s allowing measles to make a comeback.

Maybe we need to eradicate corruption in the public health system.
Maybe we need pharma to make products that don't contain toxics like mercury.
Maybe we need pharma and the state to not hide the adverse effects of these products and stop lying about their safety and effectiveness.
Unfortunately, too many doctors fell into the corruption cycle. Also, institutions don't join citizens when demanding safer products.
And maybe this is the consequence.
Now, there's a need to remind and show that the measles vaccine is safe enough.
Isn't it?

Because a vaccine has never ended any virus… literally. They are all still around.

Look up dr stefan lanka from germany, in 2017 he proved in the highest court of the land (!) that measles was not caused by a virus, and that there was in fact no such thing as a measles virus.
How could that be? This is not even on the main media…weird

Why is vox pushing their antisemitic agenda, of placing in the dumbfounded public, that measles is connected to Orthodox Jews, when so many other religious and conservative communities, not adhering to vaccines also add to the disease's widespread.

I heard it said the community was concerned big pharma has too much influence on doctors. Does anyone care about that concern? There was nothing said about any measures to either show this is not the case or to find out. Instead, the talk is all about ignoring the people and imposing a remedy on them. Sowing the seeds of civil disobedience is a casual thing until the "moment" comes.
