West Texas?
The comment I was responding to mentioned "everyone who lived through COVID" and questioning vaccines in general. Thanks for the reply though.

I was going to post this tweet:
as a response to this, but it doesn't really work. Trump is in no way a conservative.

I personally do not know of anyone. The Covid vaccine is the only vaccine that was of concern.
Then thankfully you have mostly folks around that have some sense.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. I work for LDH. Before it was released to the media we were told that mass vaccinations for COVID, Monkey Pox, the Flu, were not happening any more.

And 90+ % of his voters are aware of this. We are also aware that until Covid, vaccines weren’t a weird obsession by white liberals but now it is

Nobody said he was. He is an old school Democrat with some conservative values.

The release from Abraham is pretty clear that LDH isn't allowed to promote any seasonal vaccinations. It's not just COVID

well sure. but only true believers vaccinated their children for COVID. As COVID was absolutely harmless to healthy children.
and I’m still not buying that statement that there is a healthy number of parents that don’t vaccinate their children, outside of a few religious exceptions.
before i get called nonsensical names by others (not Belle). Both of my very young children are up to date on their vaccines. Besides COVID, they’ve never and will never get that “vaccine”. It’s ineffective for all age ranges and completely unnecessary for children.

I suppose that since these types of outbreaks happen in unvaccinated people it proves that the vaccinations are effective.

So the folks claiming it’s every vaccine are incorrect? Everyone’s not gonna get polio or measles?

this isn’t going well for you.
that tweet is 11 years old.
To demonstrate how irrelevant this is to your argument: the ENTIRE Democrat party was anti-illegal immigration back in 2014. No?

It really depends on where you live and whether your state has vaccine mandates (some don't because of Jacobson v. Massachusetts).
Some states have philosophical exemptions (versus just religious and medical). Kentucky doesn't have that at this point, so it sets our exemption rate a little lower (and keep in mind this is just for public school).

Good thing republicans are all in on getting rid of vaccines. Maybe the diseases will win a little.
Good thing Democrats let all these un vaccinated illegals cross the border so you can bitch at Republicans for your own mess..You tards will never get it...

Here comes the vaccines sky screamers. I don't think many people had issues with the measles shot. It was pretty proven successful in eradicating the disease
I would think most every single citizen of the US has the measles shot.
Most illegal aliens do not.

When you allow unvetted, unclean people into your country, this happens.

How's this for a relevant argument, Gaines County has 42 of the 48 of the reported measles cases in Texas. It also has one of the highest vaccine exemption rates in the state.
quote:
Coverage of the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine is particularly low in Gaines County, where nearly 1 in 5 incoming kindergartners in the 2023-24 school year did not get the vaccine. The 18% vaccine exemption rate for the county is one of the highest in the state, according to data from the Texas health department.
The state average for exemptions is 2.32%. The national average is 3.3%.
Here's the demographics of Gaines County:

Race and ethnicity: 54.2% White (non-Hispanic), 24.8% White (Hispanic), 1.09% Black or African American (non-Hispanic)

You realize that this is driven by all the third world illegals, right?
Mexico, at least, is heavily vaccinated.
"According to the statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO), no cases of diphtheria, measles, polio or yellow fever were reported in Mexico in 2019."

Anyone who lumps all vaccines together is a fricking moron and shouldn't be listened to by others.
They should each be approached independently.
The COVID shot isn't even a "vaccine". That shite is something entirely different.

Agree.
