Measles

The most effective solution to combat illnesses like measels is by mass vaccnination. The sitting president's position on this issue is no different than any other president from either party in recent history. And there has been no new laws regarding vaccintions in this administration. But who cares, right? The Kenyan socialist in the White House went public with an opinion so FOX News and 2016 politicians need to attack it irregardless of its merit.

And thats all thats going on here. Rand Paul and Chris Christie were trying to score points with the base by picking a fight. They were careless and got busted. When the press asked them to clarify their positon they quickly crawled back under their rocks - because their argument was insane and they knew it.

Tommorow Obama might weigh in with his favortie brand of cereal...and we can expect a similar storm to follow.

On their own property, I suppose people should have the right to do whatever they want with their own human waste. Because freedom.

Oh are those guys thinking the same as me? You're correct I have not one shred of proof but I DO remember when all those kids were being admitted to the schools around here that all shots and immunizations were waived for 'em. Even you have enough brain power to draw a correlation there don't you? Guess I shouldn't assume.


You do understand, I hope, that correlation and causation are not the same--one of the first rules learned in any research class. It is possible that you only committed the most elementary logical error; it is more likely that you let your xenophobic and nativistic prejudices have free rein and they led you astray yet again.
If the measles are due to these downtrodden children, shouldn't there be measles in the lands where they cam from? Why demonize these poor kids who might be non-immunized? Save your vitriol for the "educated" Americans that choose to not immunize.

Silly suggestion. That doesn't earn TV sweeps and Arbitron radio ratings.
