B_P_Vanderburg Measles at Northeastern? Could they invite Trump to make a speech or something there? America could use rest.

Hey antivaxxers...

All anti-vaxxers should go live in an island far from the rest of us. Selfish people

If you go to that school and live in that area and have been vaccinated, then who cares? Did the student contract it out of the country?

Oh no! Take a dose of vitamin d and a,recover in a week and be thankful for the only life time immunity that actually exists.

yoooo where my anti-vaxxers at?

Good night Americans!! and democrats....

Even if you don't think Measles is a 'dangerous' disease (it is), maybe reflect on the millions of immunocompromised, elderly, and the very young who can easily die from it because you're ignorant about vaccines. If you're 'pro life', you better be 'pro vaccination'. Just saying

antivaxxers

Only the boomers have no worries.🤭

Hi, early twentieth century? Yeah, could you take your diseases back? Thanks, vaxxers
