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!

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.
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?
And they lived to the ripe old age of "died in childbirth!"

It's still b******t, but to be completely fair, washing your hands properly does make a huge difference, and there actually are kids with weak immune systems and lots of allergies because they are raised in a bubble.
.... vaccinatons lower your immune system??? How? Because it doesn't have to fight measles as hard?? I don't get it.
Vaccines actually BOOST your immune system. Vaccination introduces your immune system to nasty things and primes it to fight those nasties when you encounter them. Antivaxxers are morons.

Do anti-vaxxers not believe in soap too? A lot of soap has the same ingredients as hand sanitizer and what about the water? Do they wash in bottled water? Tap water has extra stuff in it. Wow I can't imagine how delusional of a world they must live in.
I don't understand how people don't understand on the most basic levels how vaccinations work. If they have access to the internet, why not take the time to educate yourself?
Some people simply possess the talent to find, among the billions of sources, precisely the ones that have 0% real information, while completely ignoring the actual information bombarding them from all directions. These branches of people's population are truly marvellous simply because they actually came to be. What I'm trying to say is that they are so remarkably stubborn, it's a miracle they didn't oppose evolution when they were still protozoans. My grandmother is a perfect example of this kind of people. She never wants to change, even if it's for the better. She's stubborn, narrow-minded, believes in reptilians(snake-like creatures that can turn into famous people in order to rule the planet. I know you are like "What!?", but some people do believe in this c**p), that the Moon's a hologram and also doesn't believe in evolution. And I can't believe we are relatives.

I do agree with the hand sanitizer point. Actually washing your hands is much more effective
I avoid them too. Only if I'm visiting a hospital or a nursing home on a flu season I use some

There's no such thing as Organic. It is a term that is not regulated by the FDA. We all know what it's supposed to mean, but there is no way to ensure it's being followed. Don't pay double the price just because someone slapped a new word on it.

"vaccinations lower your immune system". Did the OP get vaccines? Because they certainly have their IQ lowered.
its because smallpox has a very high death rate, less than ebola, but still, 9 out of 10 natives died to smallpox
yes, and smallpox is a very dangerous desease that had been eradicated thanks to vaccines!!
Not true. People who had cowpox usually survived smallpox because they had developed natural immunity.
Do they know the meaning of an antibody? It is what protects you from a virus. If you want to experience the full effect of these viruses, or force your children to experience them, then you can expect Medieval consequences. Tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), small pox, measles, polio.My God, we have come so far, and this faction is trying to re-establish these scourges in our time. They are trying to kill the rest of us with their "naturalistic ways". My father was a toxicologist, who told us to get outside and get dirty as much as we could to build up our immunity to viruses, but always had us immunized. There are some viruses you cannot fight safely just by exposure, as the death toll is too high.
I was on the front line of receiving the polio vaccine (yes, I am that old.) They brought trays of sugar cubes through our elementary class, and made us take one. It was pink. I had a friend in high school of the same age, who had a wasted leg in a brace because she contracted polio before the vaccine. Her father was a physician. There is no filter for diseases like these. All are vulnerable.

Bet you were vaccinated as a kid...bet 99 percent of these snowflake whiners like my former daugher in law were vaccinated. Need 2 be educated.
And it doesn't "lower" your immune system. It very emphatically "raises" your immune system. That is the definition of a vaccine.
He's wrong about the sanitizer. My country makes soap for more than 800 years. My gandma made homemade soap when she was alive.

Really?? Then explain this: 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.
Actually, IF they survived their first year of live - about 30-35% did not - they died with their teeth worn down to nothing because they were constantly chewing things that were not only raw, but rough. Try again.

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?

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.
