"Before widespread vaccination, measles caused 5 to 10% of hearing-loss cases in the US. Worldwide, measles was a leading cause of blindness among children; as many as 60,000 a year lost sight because of the disease."

Anti-Vaccine - is DANGEROUS and IRRESPONSIBLE!

Vaccines Protect Me From You And Protect You From Me!

‪#Vaccination - is the Only Way to achieve ‬
‪'Herd' or 'Community' Immunity!

GET VACCINATED!

Brag About Your Vaccinations!

SHOW Your Disdain for Anti-Vaxxers!

Much of the ignorance comes from religion and poor quality education.

Well, I'm not a purist. I dislike what Bezos has done to the newspaper in his capitulation to Trump, but for now they still have some good reporting. Do as you like.

Back in the 50s one of my classmates was blind due to contracting measles. Vaccine deniers are one of humankind’s biggest threats.

This is a serious disease. Get your children vaccinated. Hearing aids are over $3,000.00 dollars currently. Blindness cannot be corrected.

And don't forget,the MMR protects against 2 types of measles infections:rubella(3-day measles)and rubeola.Rubella can cause devastating fetal abnormalities if pregnant women becomes infected.Rubeola can cause severe illness in children requiring hospitalization,and complications resulting in death.

Good reminder about the hearing losses, I remember stories growing up about extended family members/friends of family in that generation who had experienced those losses

First they disable you with preventable illness. Then they drain your bank account while you struggle to recover, then they top it all off by ending services and support for the disabled.

Ta da! Life over.
