Statement by arrested activist, Edwin Tamasese:

Boo! Give people a choice.

Kinda hoped it might have been that winterstein lady blaming our people’s diet for the outbreak

Come on people think, measles doesn't kill like this and people over there were recently vaccinated. Either the vaccine was tainted or the measles was weaponized and that was a trial run. Pay attention!

anthoknees That’s how you do it.

Long jail term I hope. Bio-terrorism.

I think the right term here might not be Anti-Vaccination, but Pro-Infection.

GOOD

Amazing how humanity gone stupid as a human collective its devolving

MarthaLynneOwe1 When it has to come to that. Incredible.

'Activist'

Excellent! America should follow suit! 🤨

Hope the increased efforts can now bring a halt to this outbreak.

And here we have anti vaxxers running to be POTUS. Looking at you marwilliamson 👀

coverage of the measles-rubella (MR) or measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine is greater than 99.0% in Zhejiang province. However, the incidence of measles, mumps, and rubella remains high.'

MMR live virus vaccine causing outbreaks.. public will NOT hear the truth.. Pharma propagandists complicit in crimes against humanity, mass murder. Dr. Meehan 'measles outbreak in Samoa is unnatural. I'll present the facts '

It’s a move in the right direction. vaccinessavelives SavetheChildren

As they should be. Endanger to public safety

'Caustic criticism of the “anti-vaxx” position is usually of a straw man — i.e. an artificially weak version, easy to ridicule, that doesn’t capture what’s really going on.'

JennyMcCarthy You are next.

Next is... McCarthy maybe?

BOO!! Infect this person!!!

Hold them responsible

Aquí en Chile, en otro contexto, está pasando lo mismo. Activistas, ya vistos en una mesa, convencen a grupos que corren los riesgos. Aquí ellos son sólo 'pa'la tele', y no les pasa nada. Curioso x decir lo menos.

Improperly mixed vaccines: 2 Tamasese and antivaxx killers: 63 Who are the murderers here?

Live & learn or die & learn

Good. See how they like it in prison.

Chastitellez At least they dont have autism.

Good. The families should sue him too.

Good

The asshole antivaxxer even posted one last appeal to give kids “Vitamin C dissolved in water” to “save” them from the deadly measles. I hope he spends the rest of his life in a Samon jail.

snarkytoes Good . They should be arrested .

good! Black & Brown countries are suffering the most from measles outbreaks. GET VACCINATED! THESE ANTI VAXXERS ARE TRYING TO KILL YOU!

We need more of this

Wow. Y'all are hella sleepy. Why would an activist be arrested? For telling the truth. Research vaccines y'all, please. For the health of yourselves and children. Real talk. 💪❤✊

Bet those anti vaccs wish they had guns

I hope other nations learn from this terrible tragedy and take firm steps against anti-vaccination efforts so that ordinary diseases like the measles don’t turn deadly. 63 dead, most of them children! Utterly preventable with vaccination—which is the whole point!

Bravo.

WTH have they done to the measles virus?

👏👏👏

That person should be charged with manslaughter

US struggles w/whether to allow non-vaccinated kids in public schools, while Somoa takes dramatic step of arresting anti-vax activist - Samoan arrests prominent anti-vaccination activist amid measles outbreak that has killed at least 63- mostly of children

fucking finally

Good. Now if only everyone else could follow suit.

Jfc. Vitamin C will not cure measles. Fruit will not cure cancer. Hippy dippy wingnuts need to keep their destructive bs to themselves.

This is bio-terrorism

JimCarrey is anti-vaxx

Good!
