Showing Original Post only (View all)Anti-Vaxxers Launch Children’s Book To Convince Kids That ‘Measles Is Marvelous’ [View all]
Source: Addicting Info

While a measles outbreak grips the US and health professionals seek to stem the tide, anti-vaxxers have published a book to convince children that the deadly disease is marvelous.
Melanies Marvelous Measles is available on Amazon, and sets out to persuade 4-10-year-old children that the measles is actually pretty fun, has no serious possible side-effects, and is something kids should look forward to getting.
The book includes such inspired medical advice as :
* measles is easily avoided by drinking melon juice
* vaccines weaken the human immune system,
* getting measles strengthens it (as does melon juice).
