        They don't even accept it even when WHO publishes this. "The outbreaks in Samoa and Tonga are caused by the D8 strain (genotype) of measles virus." D8 is a wild virus strainhttps://reliefweb.int/report/samoa/measles-outbreak-pacific-situation-report-no-2-26-november-2019 …

        Over 5,000 have died of measles in the DR Congo in 2019. More than Ebola.

        38 of these are children under 5. All but one are children. Antivaccine misinformation kills kids.

        Really? I didn't have any growth spurts after I had them but I sure was sick as hell. Such nonsense.

        Anti-vaxxers are cognitively disabled. So are the people who take their ridiculous advice. 🎃
