Bill Gates claims Donald Trump asked him if “vaccines weren't a bad thing”

[Deleted]

Ironically 90% of the Anti-vaxxers I've met in my life were hardcore leftists and hippies. Anti-vax idiocy is bi-partisan.

Anti vaxxers are stupid people, you can find them on both sides of the political spectrum.

they also cause albinism or vitiligo or dwarfism.

Dear lord, vaccines are more dangerous than I thought. I can't believe we are still giving them to children!

[Deleted]

The government should stay out of such decisions. That doesn't mean I'm going to ignore the mountain of data that they have gathered.

They should not force people to get vaccines, but people would be morons to think vaccines are a bad idea.

Wait for it to sink in. God damn, I am remarkably consistent. You thought you had me... but you failed once again.

They should force people to get vaccinated, there's no reason to not get vaccinated. It's cheap and it can prevent you a lot of complications later on in life, not to mention, it's just not going to kill you, whilst any of the diseases you didn't get vaccinated for, can and will kill you if it goes past a certain incubation time.

In my country vaccines are free and they are tied to healthcare, meaning if you get vaccinated or are vaccinated you get reimbursed more when buying medicines, having a surgery and so on. Mind you we have mandatory vaccinations and guess what, we have the lowest autism rates in all of Europe, the countries with no mandatory vaccinations have higher autism rates.

See I'll do a Trump, you can't get autism if you get vaccinated.

There is no reason to not get vaccinated, unless you are one of a very small number of people who cannot get vaccinated. That does not mean it should be forced by the government. After all, I'm a libertarian. If I'm going to force someone to do something, then any negative consequences would be a direct result of my actions.

Anti-vaxers tend to not be from red states that much. The past few measles outbreaks were in coastal/tourist areas (link): "During the 15-year period studied, the largest number of cases were in California (380), New York (250), Ohio (396) and Washington state (102)." (The Ohio outbreak was in an unvaccinated Amish area.)

What’s the per capita on that.

when did anti vax become a republican thing?

and stop calling trump a republican, he isn't a real republican.

He seems real enough for all the republicans supporting him and those who voted for him

Yes, thank you for saying exactly what I just said.

[Mormolyce]

Honestly though, who would have guessed that Trump is an anti-vaxxer? Maybe he really does have dementia.

His anti-vaxxer tweets came out during the election, I remember the shitlords on here telling us all he was just joking or some other lame slathering of cognitive dissonance.

Did anyone say this was due to his political faction?

It's more just a reminder of what a retarded loon he is, and how much bullshit he believes. Like anyone needed one.

You mean the people that wanted to vote Republican and had no other Republican Candidate? Wow I wonder!!

[Machismo]

There were other Republicans running. Heck, people could have voted for literally anyone else.

No but the usual "LOL REPUBLICANS!" came in as usual. Hence why I said the idiocy is bi-partisan. Before it turned into another inevitable circlejerk.

Well they did vote for this moron.

Who's the more foolish?

Yes but the main runner was always going to be Trump meaning people backed him out of necessity to stop the harpy queen.

Remind me again. Did the republicans not have primaries? Did they specifically vote for trump who won the primary?

Are you saying they’re just republicans who had to vote republican regardless of how negative the effects would be? How dumb.

[Super Kami Dende]

I mean, at least they didn't vote for Clinton, so they can't be that stupid.

Why was it going to be him

[Machismo]

So, they willfully chose to support him. They don't get to try and deflect, they own their mistakes entirely.

They voted for a less-moral, less-conservative version of her husband. Man, I do enjoy such ironies in this world.

Pssssst. Its almost as if that happens on both sides. The amount of Berniebros I saw absolutely assblasted because they "had" to vote for Hillary was hilarious.

Right because Clinton she would have been a problem. A run of the mill politician who has history of bringing republicans and democrats together and having high approval among both parties for her ability to listen and incooperate both sides wants without causing major issues unlike a tweeting man child.

TO be fair they very likely don't see it as a mistake. only people who disagree with them do.

Because they were smart enough to not want trump.
