Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene sparks controversy after suggesting parents should revive “measles parties” to help kids build immunity. But measles can cause serious complications like pneumonia, brain swelling, and even death. Experts say the best way to fight measles is through vaccination.

Back in chickenpox parties... They didn't do that for the flu, or the cold, or any other ailments cause they knew those sicknesses didn't work that way!!
Now? We don't do it because...we have a vaccine.
I just wish they had a Vax for ignorance.
Times change.
Hope she goes for blood letting.
They used to have chicken pox parties when I was a kid too, but guess what? Again, BEFORE the vaccine was around and widely available!
Moron woman.
MEASELS. Not weasels.
A weasel party might actually be cool.
This is DEMONIC These people are doing the work of the enemy, the evil one. How many times do I have to tell people they follow the antichrist.
Show me the research!
No evidence, no data, no shit!
Now we have SHINGLES
Anti-vax people make me irrationally angry with their bullshit
are getting people killed.
There is always that one kid who skipped Health Class to sneak out and eat…glue .
“Yup, and they stopped doing it for a reason “
Just because people did things in the past (which turned out to be ludicrously stupid) doesn't mean "lets do it again"
What’s to celebrate?
Oh, Kid Rock too.
you turn out like Marjorie Trailer Green.

Is the collective intelligence of Americans too low for democracy to function productively?
Or if she really wants to show how strong she is, a rabies party.
Since apparently expert medical knowledge isn't a thing she's concerned with.

.... FAFO with measles
400 to 500 people died
48,000 were hospitalized
1,000 suffered encephalitis (swelling of the brain)
By 2000 measles was declared eliminated in US. Not because of measles parties (but maybe they helped a bit).
YOU are responsible for the sources you trust. If you're not smart enough to pick good ones, no one can save you.
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) = a rare, chronic, and usually fatal brain disorder caused by measles; shows up months / years after initial infection.
If only there way a way to become immune to measles without actually contracting the virus….
