      You don’t understand it’s actually good for kids to get measles because it makes their immune system stronger therefore the pro life position is actually to not get the vaccine to allow children’s immune systems to prosper. Me? Oh yeah my parents got me vaccinated when I was a kid I’ve never had measles.

        It’s the kids of those people who need to be attending the rally to create a super-spreader event, and while the article didn’t mention ages, somehow I suspect it’s talking about a bunch of “adults” getting infected.

    Apparently measles is so contagious it requires a 95% vaccination rate to attain herd immunity. These people are really fucking shit up.

    My only issue with this is the innocent people that will be effected by this…really distressing for anyone immune compromised within their orbit.

    Otherwise they can eat shit.

      The adults are probably vaccinated while their kids are not.
