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!

Elnathan John, a Nigerian writer and lawyer, called out American's who wanted travel bans on countries with Ebola by pointing out the current measles outbreak.
Many anti-vaxxers use the possibility of having an autistic child as one of their debate points - but this autistic person had a counterpoint.
This one I fully concure with. I'm autistic to and not an idiot. During my life I've been headhunted by companies, worked around the world, studied years at university, experienced things few have, been in love , had my heart broken, etc. Yet theese idiots seem to think that I would be better of dead than live my life.
An argument for not vaccinating kids is that it's more natural and therefore healthier- well this user points out that humans created vaccines for a reason.
They were given smallpox infected blankets. Go figure

People didn't even live to be that long centuries ago. Carol is an idiot
I struggled with the decision about vaccinations when my children were little. My mother left it up to me but she did tell me how her 3 year old brother died in her arms from diphtheria. He was in pain and agony before he died. That made my decision to vaccinate my children.
Yes. The grand old age of 40 was the life expectancy. Babies dying. Children dying. Teenagers dying. Disease, germs and more disease. No cures or simple medicine.
We all have the right to choose whether or not to be vaccinated. This is a site that denigrates people who choose NOT to be vaccinated. The site fails to mention that the COVID vaccine has killed an estimated 300,000 people so far. They also fail to mention the millions who are permanently disabled by the COVID vaccine.
Or they went blind and dear. Helen Keller was blinded and deafened by the measles!
Look back in history and the horrific medical catastrophies that were a way of life (or rather death) and then carry on with misguided beliefs.science managed to wipe out smallpox which was commonplace in many countries ,would the antivaxxers still refuse to protect themselves and their families . Some of their beliefs and comments seem almost medieval in content ,where do people get the idea that vaccines reduce immunity.!!!
From WHO review: “Global decline of child mortality. In 1800 the health conditions of our ancestors were such that 43% of the world's newborns died before their 5th birthday. These estimates are shown in the visualisation below. In 1960 child mortality was still 18.5%. Almost every 5th child born in that year died in childhood. Over the last decades we have seen a very rapid decline of child mortality globally. In 2015 child mortality was down to 4.3% – 10-fold lower than 2 centuries ago. In North America today, child mortality is less than 1%. You have to take this long perspective to see the progress that we have achieved.
Why pick a random name for your post? Why pick any name at all? They died. A lot of people died.
Just visit ANY of the old cemeteries - look at alllll the babies/children who died because of diseases we BEAT! Morons! Here we go again!
Reminds me of the insurance commercial. "I un-friend you" "That's not how it works, that's not how any of it works".
Now they die of Autism and do so at a much younger age than the rest of us after living highly debilitated lives in many cases. At Valley Forge 10,000 of the 12,000 encamped there survived through a tough winter despite having no vaccinations at their disposal and while being inadequately clothed in many cases. Today WITH vaxxinations a group that size would be wiped out. So this notion that without vaxxines early generations died off is a blinkered concept at best.
Anti-vaxxers say they want to return to a simpler, more 'natural' time - well this user had some holes to poke in that theory.
Approximately 110 000 people died from measles in 2017 – mostly children under the age of 5 years according to the World Health Organization.
Internet user highlights exactly how necessary vaccines are and other commenters jump in with equally valid comparisons.
Parent brings child consent into the vaccine debate and gets shot down with the perfect answer.
This user pointed out that just because you have googled information about vaccines on the internet does not mean you know more than doctors.

Someone creates a shirt with the two most popular conspiracy theories in one place.
Internet user fights back against debate point that vaccines cause autism with the perfect question.
Anti-vaxxers try to create false equivalencies and are shut down through memes.
Anti-vaxxer tries to spread fake news and conspiracies about the side-effects of vaccines and gets fact checked.
Someone tried to create a shocking poster linking heroin use to vaccines, but not everyone was convinced.
Anti-vaxxer posts conspiracy about vaccines only being sold in profit scheme and gets shut down.
Someone asks for a suggestion for preventing measles other than a vaccine and another user has this 'healthy' recommendation.
Internet users get into an illogical argument over vaccines
An educator shuts down a anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist in long, fact based post.
Sometimes names can be confusing.
My nephew's best friend is called Java. No joke. I hope that kid's surname is Script.
This anti-vaxxer is 'armed' and dangerous against disease apparently.
Arm everyone with a gun because apparently protecting yourself from other gunmen with guns is more peaceful than just banning guns in the first place. Sorry. Wrong post. Oh well.
Two sides have spirited debate over vaccinations.
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
One idiot anti-vaxer retorted, "Prove that vaccines don't cause autism." That's how these jerkoffs think.

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?

Dear anti-vaxxers a blog is not a trusted source. If you think that it is you clearly prove the point of why vaxxing your kids is important.
Let´s put them in reserves. Then they don't risk others lives that are allergic to vaccines and have problems with their immunsystems.

I'm 64. When I was 2 I got measles, not even very badly. Then we went on holiday to a family farm where I - and everyone else - had fresh milk - it being a dairy farm - I got tuberculosis - no-one else did. It was because I'd not long had the measles and it had dropped my immune resistance very low. So at 3 I spent 8 months in a sanotorium - and I was lucky I got it in my right knee and left eye. My mother could only visit at weekends as it was a 2 hour journey each way and they didn't have a car. I can still remember the injections - and when I came out of hospital I had streptomycin tablets. They were very successful, but it was early in their development and were made in liver, they were big brown smarties that you had to chew and tasted awful. I was lucky - I survived - not all the children did. Since then I've never been healthy - I had my right kneecap removed when I was 22 because of arthritis, I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. All because I had measles
I was not vaccinated as a kid for medical reasons (only had polio and smallpox vaccines - back then they still vaccinated against smallpox!) and then I had them all - pertussis, measles, mumps, chicken pox... It was not fun - I spent most of my childhood years in hospitals. Vaccinate your kids!
As an avid essential oil user... I have to deal with antivaxxers all the time (rolls eyes). One argument that I see a lot is "I wouldn't set my kid on fire to keep yours warm" and every time I see some one post it I just blink at the screen. How is that even a valid argument. I would say it's comical to watch it but really its just scary.
Wait, so if enough people don't vaccinate, the diseases will mutate and the vaccines won't work anymore? That's terrifying.
Quite the contrary. Diseases mutate to resist vaccines (they need to find another way in order to survive).

Fear is the greatest destroyer of good deeds. I can guarantee you that 90% of all anti-vaxxers out there were vaccinated as kids. And I would be less trustworthy of vaccines back than I am of them now since many were still in early development at the time they were introduced. Antivaxxers say the pharmaceutical industry is in it for the profits. But baby coffins, walkers and wheelchairs aren't cheap...so who would you rather give your money to. The people that say that they can keep your child alive or the ones that take advantage of them after they've been harmed by a preventable disease?
Of course 'Big Pharma' has to make money - to pay for the billion dollar cost to study and recieve approval of their therapies. BIG FARMA also is in it for the money - do you know how much a modern tractor costs?
Load More Replies... I vaguely remember a study from years ago, where if you take out all the people who died of measles, smallpox, etc, before they were 18, the average lifespan was like 90. So yes, return to organic gardening, hard work, living outdoors, being around nature, especially animals. But also VACCINATE!!!!!!!
Apparently being an anti vaxxers means your not only dumb, but you have bad grammar as well. Measles (aren't) dangerous.
Do people who do not want to vaccinate their children love them? I would not want to see my son suffering and dying of an easy preventable disease. I know that not vaccinating is a personal choice and there will probably be risks involved, but this is really stupid. I think it should be mandatory. At the very least, these people must pay more health insurance and childcare / school fees. I would also like to know if there are children at the nursery that have not been vaccinated.
I know of one person who secretly sends her kids to Bible camps etc. unvaccinated. She 'embraces the virus' believing in it's health benefits.

My sons on the high autistic spectrum. He's has very very many vaccines. Even if a vaccine caused it, I doubt I'd care. I'd rather him be somewhat antisocial than dead. Side effects? Does nobody understand breathing causes death? Your body is warm because it slowly burns oxygen in your cells. You gonna hold ya breath?
The saddest thing is, most of the anti-vaxxers are already vaccinated by their parents . . . There used to be a time when parents would have a hard time getting their kids vaccinated, but now, kids are having a hard time convincing their parents to allow them to be vaccinated. ( Reference to that post where a fifteen year old asked Reddit how he can get vaccinated despite his anti-vaxxers parents. )
Better to bang your head against a wall than convince an anti vaxxer that their beliefs are based on a lie...you still get the headache without the stupid
We should send anti vaxxers on the edge of the Flat Earth. The air is cleaner there.
Send them inside the earth, maybe a conversation with the reptilians will teach them.
