Lord, I pray for this baby to be healed and fully recover! ♥️🌟

[@PauloAdriano-zo2ng]

What a beautiful baby. Hopefully, he'll make a quick recovery.😊

[@garyflynn3762]

Agree 100%

This current anti vax phad is absolutely appalling and leading to children contracting Victorian era viral diseases. I think parents should get done for child cruelty in these instances. I'm grateful my mum ensured I didn't get measels, rubella, meningitis and later hpv - that's something I will be paying forward when I start a family, vaccines all the way 🙌🏼💜

[@johns1600]

Agreed, and be charged for the huge cost of hospital care required to treat these children. Idiotic, however I do think it’s good they faced the camera to raise awareness whilst facing criticism

[@jpc3603]

Absolutely, I fully agree. The parents featured are very commendable and it's much appreciated they're using their traumatic experience to now advocate for getting vaccines.

Antivaxers will still say it's a hoax 🤦‍♂️

[@evamandri]

There's a huge difference between vaccines that went through trial compared to mRNA! You should do your research.

[@MrMarshmelloBoi]

Ezra? I love this guy sm 😢

[@elliotfrancis4187]

God bless him 🙏

[@evamandri]

It should also be stressed that PREGNANT women cannot come into contact with measles! Absolutely hate those irresponsible people walking in a public like "I got it" and I don't care about the rest!

Are migrants being quarantined until they are vaccinated?

[@Pedant_Patrol]

It is illegal to force migrants to vaccinate their children.

[@pallascat1743]

I think the problem lies with British people 'doing their own research' rather than migrants.

[@garyflynn3762]

It is a good point. Maybe all visitors should be checked

[@felixgarnet]

God almighty, just get your kids the free routine vaccinations! What next? Polio?

[@homealone75]

Was this baby immunized or not?

[@sholbleio8629]

Jesus Christ ❤

[@Pedant_Patrol]

Was the strain of measles the baby contracted wild or the vaccine strain?

[@guff9567]

Steer clear of ANY vax

[@user-dh6bj2me5p]

Nope. You're under informed.

Please don’t get vax and don’t have any one in your family. Let natural selection help society

I don't think questioning the covid vaccinations are the same as being an anti vaxxer, i think all the child vaccinations are fine, its a shame some people are bandwagoning that agendas

[@jaenmartens5697]

If Measles is handled correctly, a normally healthy kid gets over it quickly and has lifelong immunity.

[@KC-ki9uj]

DO YOU HAVE A MEDICAL LICENSE? OR ARE YOU JUST ANTIVAX?

[@johns1600]

A dangerous fool, measles can cause death and deformity such as deafness

Migrant gift that keeps giving.
