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!

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.

*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.

If only they would care so much for the consent of the child when it comes to his freedom of religion, career plans or sexual orientation...

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.

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.

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/
