Measles cases reached 15-year high in 2011: CDC

4. Vaccination rates below herd immunity

This is what happens when people believe ass hat idiots like Jenny McCarthy and her lame husband Jim Carrey, or that proven fraud, the former doctor, Andrew Wakefield.

There is a body count to this idiocy. We're close to eliminating polio on the planet. But the anti-vaccination crap is impeding efforts, especially in Africa, where fundie religious fools are spreading bullshit about the vaccinations. The results are that polio outbreaks are increasing. One airplane flight could bring polio back to the US where decreasing vaccination rates could give it a chance to effect a community.

I am old enough to remember polio. It isn't nice.

Jenny McCarthy should go back to eating her boogers on MTV.
