Anti-vaxxer conspiracies have continued to spread, and because of their beliefs - so have the measles. Oregon and Washington are among eighteen states that allow families to opt-out of vaccines for viral diseases based on philosophical beliefs, which is why these areas have been the most recent hotbed for the measles outbreak. More than 50 people have been infected across Southwest Washington state and Northwest Oregon - and everyone is fed up with the anti-vaccination science deniers.
"It's an outbreak because generally, the way we define an outbreak is when you have more observed cases than expected cases. And generally with measles, the expected number is zero," Dr. Alan Melnick with Clark County Public Health told KOIN6 TV in Portland, Oregon, last week. "You know, we have a very effective vaccine for measles. Two shots are 97 percent effective. So we really shouldn't be seeing measles." Scroll down below to read some of the best comebacks to anti-vaxxers on the internet, and don't forget to upvote your favs! If you have your own funny comeback prepared - share it with us in the comment section!

Two sides have spirited debate over vaccinations.
Elizabeth 6 years ago
There was another recent Bored Panda article, written by a woman who had lifelong adverse reactions to a vaccine. She's STILL pro-vaccine. Why? The disease she was vaccinated against is still worse than her vaccine related complications https://www.boredpanda.com/tetanus-diphtheria-vaccine-side-effects-guillain-bare-syndrome-anti-vaxxers/

I wonder if that infamous antivaxxer army will strike again in the comments

Anti-vaxxers can't provide scientific proof backing up their arguments, same as flat-earthers can't provide photos from the edge of the world :D

As I have stated before the antivax is part of a larger agenda to demonize science; the one way real knowledge about the physical world is discovered. To deny science is to hinder science. All of the following are examples of advocating a conspiracy against the best and brightest minds in their quest for discovery: 1). Man never landed on the moon 2). Scientist are sitting on a cure for cancer 3) Oil companies are suppressing a car that gets 150 mpg 4) Tesla sent electricity through the air over 100's of miles 5) AIDS is a man made virus 6) Alternative Medicines are as effective as scientifically based medicine 7) GMO's are dangerous 8) Man made climate change is a myth 9) Antivaxx or the grand daddy of them all.....10) Young earth creationism. - Did I miss any?
