<< Measles is back now in the US and puts everyone at risk of physical harm

Everyone?

Yes, everyone, including those with preexisting immunity, because of the risk of breakthrough infections.

Previous infection as well as the vaccine is only 97% effective against future infection, which means a significant amount of people are getting sick despite making the right choice and getting vaccinated. The fringe loonies are ruining things for everyone.

Not bad, but if you know this then you also must know that the symptoms on that infection are mild and the number of of those people are small[1] so not quite the case of " significant amount of people are getting sick" as you are eager to claim.

Measles kills people. You’re defending behavior that kills children. Kindly get out, preferably through a window.

You know.. outrage as such, performative or otherwise does not really do much to bolster one's argument. For the record, neither does emotional appeal with 'think of the children'. Or at least not that often on this internet forum anyway.

Ah. Let’s all be cool and un-emotional and let the children die from a preventable disease. Because cool heads are more important than lives. Right, got it. You’re an idiot. Bye!
