It’s called building back better!

[@BoxEnjoyer]

Bet you can't name a single biden policy that has had any impact on measles vaccination rates or anything like that.

[@heathermarsters1989]

When i was in school, we had to be fully vaccinated from chicken pox, measles, tb and others before starting school. Maybe schools should start doing that again.

[@alholds]

Open borders have consequences

[@Mike__B]

A huge generation of kids who are suffering through their parents staunch stance against vaccinations, specifically one vaccination but that has expanded to all vaccines.

[@KILLKING110]

Considering how badly the government lied about the covid vaccines can you blame parents until the government pays the employees who were threatened with job loss if they weren't vaccinated along with the children and adults that got injured by the vaccine there won't be any trust.

[@NickTwisp80]

I had the measles in 1959.

[@RoyceBenning]

I had it in 78

Close the border

[@Mike__B]

If you have the measles vaccine you don't have anything to worry about from people crossing the border.

[@jts9120]

​@@Mike__BThat's what they said about the safe and effective jab. Close the border!

Makes sense

Gotta love open borders

[@justmejenny7986]

We just got done with another bout of Covid and now it's the stomach bug. Schools are a germ fest. And now so is my house. So much vomiting.

Don't forget about head lice too

Migrants

[@FindMissingKids268]

Tell them at the border where its coming from

[@Sharyk808]

Nowadays parents don’t get the kids vaccinated. So eventually they’ll get it. Surprised me when I got chickenpox as an adult. It’s worse when adults get it.

[@FindMissingKids268]

@@Sharyk808 Except there's a whole outbreak at a migrant camp and maybe if they didn't close everything including drinking fountains during the pandemic , maybe more Americans could take their children to the Dr.

It's all about the vaccines. Measles was brought in for the vaccine, not the other way around.

Where's the proof to back up your claim

[@elhajjmalikel6266]

@@The_Notorious_N.O.E. at this point with everything that has happened, can you not put 2-and-2 together?

You can thank the anti-vaxxers for that.

[@beyondhuman3148]

In Chicago measles has been traced back to the largest migrant shelter in the city.

[@The_Notorious_N.O.E.]

​but if people got vaccinated responsibly then it wouldn't matter whether immigrants or the toothfairy had measles because those who are vaccinated are protected. Stop trying to scapegoat the immigrants. Turn off Fox News

[@Ej82Eghatch]

Anti vaxxers? Are you really that stupid? Are you really that fucking retarded? Anti vaxxers? Everyone I know that has been vaccinated with that bullshit has gotten sick… way worse than I have. I will never get vaccinated seeing that the vaccine is worse on people who have it. I’ve gotten sick with that government made sickness, but not as sick as people with the vaccine that I personally know. How about thank the people who thinks open borders is a good thing? They’re coming in without getting checked at all. I guess since the democrat party needs those votes they can do w.e the hell they want.
