Republicans: Big whoop!
Ing cough
Rookie numbers, herd immunity at work here.
They still report those numbers? Quick, make them stop so people won’t learn about the consequences of voting GOP!
“Sunshine cures everything!”
- when shot directly into the sun
I keep quoting that one famous Iowan: Let them die.
What could possibly have been done? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Pretty much everything
Fake news! There have always been whooping cough! My cousin took it! And he is fine! Better than the risk of microchip 5G in the vaccines!

Imagine dying of a completely preventable disease.
It’s almost like we don’t have hundreds of years of data on the efficacy and safety of means to prevent them.
Oh noooo what a shame
Good, let them die
I can’t wrap my head around who benefits from astroturfing anti-vax groups so much? Like if ever there are some people on earth who benefit from reduce vacination it has to be a handful. I suppose people who sell fake medicine? Or people who sell real medicine but for preventable diseases (by vaccination).
Hospitals - assume a hospital stay costs a lot more than a vaccine.
Also funeral homes and cemetery owners.
Psyops from hostile nation states. Destabilize.
Russia. Their chief exports are misery and death.
originally, Wakefield put out his bogus study because he had a patent for a rubella vaccine, and wanted to discredit only the MMR vaccine, so people would buy his vaccine. Once that takes hold people run with it
Your healthcare is privatised and predatory in nature, so not just a handful I think
Republicans and social nedia have brought back old illnesses
Burger King is getting in on the action with a promotional offer called Whooper and fries.
The anitvax aka pro-plauge crowd asked for this.
Did the (mostly) children getting whooping cough vote for it? Because if not that’s not really leopards eating faces. It’s just kids getting sick from stupid ass policies they had no say in.
It’s leopards eating faces if their parents care that they have whooping cough. Which isn’t a given.
