Yeah bit they aren't reporting about the vaccinated kids getting this anyway.

This is what happens when you get medical advice from Karen on Facebook

36 people is an epidemic? Didn't 110,000 die last year from it? It happens whether vaccinated or not.

How ridiculous in this day and age. “I would rather my child get a deadly, painful disease and possibly die than risk the 1 in 100M chance they might become Autistic, which has never been linked to vax anyway. Oh, and the earth is flat.”

The parents of kids that aren’t vaccinated should be change with child abuse. This was entirely preventable.

brendanoe60 Fear mongering... don’t believe all the hype. Also, we don’t vaccinate BECAUSE we love our children. Say what you will but this is fake news propaganda.

But picture looks like is from the 80s!

Child abuse ... parents should be charged as well as any physician of govt. who allowed this. It is like we are living the the Dark Ages

Wow those parents really hate their children to not protect them woth vaccinations.

Way to go anti vaccine people. No more opting out of vaccines. No reason for these kids to be sick like this. Entirely preventable.
