Go fuck yourself oz. You helped and continue to help this happen. It was certain the first time we let these trash humans decide not to let their kids get the vaccines. They put people in jail for letting their kids walk a block to the store on their own but these horrible people get a free pass.

Measles is spreading because this administration made vaccines a terrible word when Trump was in charge in his first term with COVID. Trump and his group of ass-faces are WHY America is in this crisis.
The US led the world in Covid deaths because vaccines were why people were dying, not a preventable disease. Now people who have hitched their wagon to that orange turd want to try and right the ship?
Fuck off, Oz. People are dying in the most horrible ways because of people like you just wanting an easy pay day siding with this Trump administration. You're the problem. Too late now to go back on that.
Guy who advocates against vaccines shocked at disease outbreak
Just saw a news article. Someone in my area with measles and contagious went to the gym, a couple of grocery stores, out to eat. People don’t give a fuck about anyone else.
A percentage of American have been emboldened with "ain't my problem".
It happened when they made COVID-19 political.
"You're all protected by your precious vaccines, right?"
Well hello to you too my fellow triangle resident
Oprah has promoted so many evil people. She's culpable for so many deaths. Don't look up the time she had John of God on her show.
Dr. Oz needs to go back to Emerald City and die.
Yeah turns out there's a reason for that whole MMR thing
Mumps and Rubella are no walk in the park either as I understand it. We are so spoiled we don't even know how good we have it with these vaccines, because of the vaccines we don't appreciate vaccines.
because of the vaccines we don't appreciate vaccines
It's like all these things - I've had people tell me climate change won't amount to anything because "look at the hole in the ozone layer, it just went away". It went away because we did something about it! Same with the millennium bug. People worked round the clock fixing it before it was too late.
The ozone hole has not disappeared. It is shrinking, but there is also a new threat to the ozone layer: the large wild fires are a major problem.
It's not a crisis that features on front pages though, and the main drivers at the time were identified and eliminated (Montreal protocol). I didn't know wildfires had an effect, that's interesting, and worrying.
Yeah mumps is real bad, and iirc rubella is generally not too bad after birth, but if a pregnant person gets it it's known for causing birth defects.
Vaccines are amazing. Like I get that some like covid and smallpox are unpleasant, but even those are better than the disease. And while many people may not like the idea of giving their kid a vaccine for an std, the hpv vaccine prevents cancer.
Nah. Chiropractors and horse paste.
LETS GO DARWIN
Oz was more scientific, he sold herbs and feathers. This would be a two blue, three red feather prescription.
I first knew about him from Oprah. Unfortunately, Oprah platformed many quacks who are now in positions of power. I can't believe I used to watch the show, but I was too young to know better before.
"B-but... Vaccines BAD! Vaccines give babby autism!"
Don't forget about the 5G tracking microchip you can easily detect if you bring a metallic items near your arm.
Now that it's been years since anyone brought this up, it sounds completely insane and stupid. I think someone should have documented all of this absolutely hilarious trash that used to float around the internet during the pandemic. Future generations are not going to believe how wild it got.
The diseases that vaccines prevent are so horrible and spreadable that even if vaccines did cause autism, it would still be completely worth it.
You wouldn't have to beg people if you didn't fund and propagate medical misinformation? Just a thought...
In today's episode of "Thing 'Conservatives' warned would happen, happens. Conservatives shocked..."
Vaccines are bad.
USA leads world in COVID deaths
Vaccines are bad.
Measles outbreaks across 46 states, could lose eliminated status.
I feel like there's a theme here with Trump administrations.
In all fairness to the administration, if they kill everybody in the country nobody will be around to vote against them.
They're mostly killing their own dumbfuck voters.

This is one of the few instances of AI slop that I actually chuckled at
I really wish Canada would use this to close our borders to the U.S.
You know what? Just don't take it. Go die of fucking measels if that's what you want you gormless moroons.
I wish they could develop and die of measels without spreading it to innocents and children.
The problem is, it's almost never the people making the decision that get sick. It's usually their kids. I don't like punishing the kids for the sake of proving the parents wrong.
The problem is that as effective as vaccines are, they still have a failure rate. A certain number of VACCINATED individuals are still going to get break-through infections. Usually the incidents of a disease are so rare it never affects the vaccinated, but in a break-out like this, a lot more vulnerable vaxxed individuals have a lot more contact with sick people, and they catch it. That gives the disease the opportunity to mutate around the known vaccines, rendering the current vaccines useless.
They aren't just threatening other anti-vaxx dummies, they are affecting ALL of us.
You retched fuck.
You might have meant wretched. "retched" is a single-syllable word meaning dry heaved. I mean, I will believe you if you told me he makes you gag.
That was a typo and I did mean wretched, however it's not impossible that he came into existence by being vomited up by some Eldritch entity.
Eat shit Mehmet.
While he is correct, he is also the wrong messenger. This is like as if Trump started quoting bible verses about helping the poor and offering the other cheek.
Even though it makes sense, I would be filled with a profound sense of mistrust about their motivations. Is Dr. Oz selling vaccines at a massive markup or something?
...get your vaccine, preferably without the Regime's "help". The odds of them fucking things up is disturbingly high.
Dipshits spend 15 years dismissing and spreading fud about vaccines, only to beg their people to get a vaccine. Too little, too late.
“Take the vaccine, please. We have a solution for our problem,” Oz said
The political right is making their bed. Let them have fewer voters in a few years.
So, will RFK get Oz kicked out of the administration, or simply punch him in the face in an adderall-fueled rage? Cold comfort either way.
