This rally comes at a time when a measles outbreak has occurred in anti-vaxxer areas, which happens to be a disease that can be life-threatening to young children and the elderly. These anti-science folks are bringing back diseases that we had essentially eradicated, and its all based on a lie. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

This past weekend, hundreds of anti-vaxxers descended upon Washington state to rally against a proposed bill that would make vaccines in the state mandatory. Basically, what it would do is it would take away parent's right to be conscientious objectors and not have their children vaccinated. They couldn't do that anymore. The state would vaccinate their children is actually similar legislation in California and more legislation kind of spreading throughout the United States. And do you know what else is spreading throughout the United States right now, especially up there in Washington, measles, a disease that we had essentially eradicated decades ago is making a comeback at least 52 confirmed cases in Washington alone and dozens more suspected of this disease that can be fatal, particularly in infants, toddlers, and the elderly or people with weakened immune systems and Dhea. Know why it's making a comeback because of these anti vaccs parents. Let's get something 100 percent straight.
Okay? Vaccines do not cause autism. There is no link between the two. The one nude, the one doctor who made that link was later found to have completely falsified his data, was stripped of his medical license and is now the subject of ridicule for the rest of his life because he lied about the link between vaccines and autism. It does not exist and I have seen so many wonderful people on social media in the last few days make this point and this to me is probably the best point out there about this issue. Why is a dead kid or a kid with a disease that was easily preventable? Why is that better than having a kid with autism? Why are we acting like autism is some kind of death sentence or some kind of social stigma that we need to look upon these people and say, oh my God, how horrible for you.
Your life must suck in every possible way. That's not at all how it is.
