      "To me it seems" is the problem. The fact is that measles outbreaks occur *everywhere*, including in the United States. What you think is true is, in fact, wrong.

      Antivaxxers love to invoke hygiene over vaccines. Both are important tools, but hygiene alone won’t control a disease like measles that’s highly transmissible through airborne respiratory droplets that can hang in the air for two hours. Only an effective vaccine will.

      I also think a lot of them use "poor hygiene" as coded language for places with a lot of people of color.

      Spreading false information about measles outbreaks and the vaccine isn't necessary or helpful. Can you delete all your posts about that please?

      As they are viable arguments that needed refitting and not slanderous towards individuals on purpose they are not the same thing. You really want to look that way?

      They aren't viable arguments. They are fabrications, and quite dangerous to spread.

      I didn’t state facts? I merely stated thrown about opinions...did not share a single site beyond the CDC...

      No but I also didn’t follow thru with the link citation because I realized you weren’t actually trying, you were just here’s data. What you have to consider is that approach is merely walling up the issue...
