a growing epidemic of childhood diseases due to the parents not wanting vaccinations. Especially the potentially deadly diseases, that were considered CONQUERED here in the U.S. due to vaccinations.......

A parent's decision to ignore science, and not vaccinate their children, could well cause an epidemic in all the other children whose parents that have decided NOT to vaccinate their children..........

The lack of educated parents, and the MAGAots, are fueling this distrust in Vacinations.......

In so many different ways, we have gone BACKWARDS nearly a century......tearing apart government regulations, working towards another GILDED AGE, a new entire set of ROBBER BARRONS, poverty and hunger, blatant racism, etc etc etc
