California, How is that 'open border' and 'sanctuary cities' policy working for you?

More than 200 new confirmed and suspected cases of the illness were tallied in the past week, bringing the state total this year to 3,311 cases as of Aug. 24. The figure released Wednesday marks a sevenfold increase from the same period last year in Calif.

In 1976 there were only about 1,000 reported cases in the USA; in 2005, the most recent peak, there were nearly 27,000 reported cases (and likely over 1 million unreported cases), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Peaks occur at three to four year intervals. Prior to effective immunization programs in the United States, pertussis was the major cause of death from infectious disease among individuals under the age of 14.

The antivax movement or immigrants could be blamed for this particular epidemic, BOTH can be directly or indirectly tied to lower vaccine rates. However we must await any pending evidence , the demographics will tell the TRUE story.

Kids don't get it if they are vaccinated properly. This stupid fear of vaccination is about adults, not children. Parents who don't get their kids vaccinated should be prosecuted if their kids die from a disease covered by vaccinations.

you can thank the internet and all of those nutcase hippie liberal retards who preach against vaccination for this.
