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!

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.

Anti-vaxxers say they want to return to a simpler, more 'natural' time - well this user had some holes to poke in that theory.

*sarcasm* Most likely because they didn't drink pure water. Of course it has nothing to do with vaccination. Why would it?

That's most likely the saddest post that I readed lately. In some countries, parents are fighting to vaccinate their children, while we do NOT want to vaccinate them because of some conspiracy theories. That's just plain stupid.

I see that people are getting downvoted for saying this, but kids don't need meat in the same way that dogs need meat. Dogs are carnivores, humans are omnivores. I do think that children should not be forced into a vegetarian diet before they are capable of making that decision themselves, though - because a vegetarian diet is very difficult to do correctly. It's much easier to get all of your nutrients without restrictions. But that part is opinion.

I agree that kids don't need meat but lacto-ovovegetarian diet is not very difficult to do correctly. I mean people should be more concerned if kids didn't eat their veggies

By the way, how anti-vaxxers feels about walking our dogs unvaccinated? And without leashes of course. Have you seen a wolf with a leash? And if it biting your kid, well, Susan, that's nature! (just kidding here, biting your unvaccinated kid would be probably unhygenic to my dog).

Mostly true - however, your kids can survive without meat. There are other ways to get protein. (I'm a pro-vaxx vegetarian.)

This is just plain stupid. Meat consumption has nothing to do with the necessity of vaccination. If you make these stupid arguments for valid points, you just give anti-vaxxers ammunition.

Vaccines are a personal choice. The COVID vaccine is dangerous. 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.

I just read four false statements. I feel dumber. I hug people with the flu! . I haven't had a vaxxination or a flu shot since I was seven years old I haven't had a flu in probably 40 years once I learned how to avoid them.

Soooo, just because you haven't had the flu because you "learned how to avoid them" (which pretty much isn't possible... what are you doing, DODGING the flu???!!!), that means that vaccinations are useless? Like it said in one of the anti-vaxxers post before, just because I'm still alive doesn't mean death is a myth.

Who says hindus are vegetarians? In india, mostly in North india, only brahmin and some high caste peoples are not eating meat. In other places we all eat whatever flying, walking and swimming. Same as western countries. I dont know who started this myth "indians are vegetarians" P.S : my engilsh not good. Bt try to understand the point.

I have never seen a polar bear in person and thus polar bears are not real. Wake up people, polar bears are clearly a myth created by the government to prevent us from going to the arctic because THAT's where they keep the UFOs.

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/
