I heard someone compare Trump’s mass firings to him being a bull in a china shop. I disagree. Trump is a like a bull in a VA hospital. Trump is like a bull in an assisted living facility. Trump is like a bull in an Alzheimer’s research center. Trump is like a bull in a NICU.

There is really only one thing standing between your community and outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases, and that thing is childhood vaccine requirements for school entry. The Texas outbreak clearly shows what happens when exemptions to vaccine requirements are handed out like candy.
