Boston Herald calls for government-run execution squads to MASS MURDER naturopaths, scientists and journalists who oppose mercury in immunizations

From the Boston Heralds editorial staff.
It’s one thing for Hollywood celebrities to wear their anti-vaccine pride like just another fashion trend. It’s another thing when anti-vaccine activists start preying on vulnerable people, particularly within immigrant communities.

Yes, the anti-vaxxers appear to be plying their trade with the Somali community in Minnesota — and the result, sadly, is a dangerous outbreak of measles.

The recent outbreak is now up to 41 kids, all of them under 10. The Washington Post reported Friday that the number of children of Somali descent in Minnesota who have received the vaccination for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) plunged from 92 percent in 2004 to 42 percent in 2014 — not nearly enough to immunize against those diseases.

Skepticism about vaccines within Minnesota’s Somali community goes back a decade, the Post reported, after parents raised concern about possible higher rates of autism among their children (research later indicated that wasn’t the case).

But it seems that was all the truthers needed to hear. When Somali parents sought answers to explain autism, anti-vaccine activists were delighted to fill in the information gap. The disgraced British doctor who once reported a link between vaccines and autism — which was deemed fraudulent and cost him his medical license — has met with families, the Post reported. Even amid this latest outbreak, anti-vaccine groups have fanned the flames, making it hard for public health officials and doctors to be heard above the noise.

These are the facts: Vaccines don’t cause autism. Measles can kill. And lying to vulnerable people about the health and safety of their children ought to be a hanging offense.

    Mercury is a convenience to the manufacturers and has nothing to do with the vaccines. It is used as a preservative to extend shelf life, that's all.

    Making the lie a hanging offense is excessive. But I'm on board 100% with Dr. Jeremy Wakefield losing his license to practice medicine for spreading this lie. www.briandeer.com

    I agree that real research needs to be done on the effects of thimerosal, without interference from the big pharmaceuticals. However, sensationalist headlines like the one for this article give ammunition for claims of "fake news". I saw no calls for government-run mass murder squads, so cool the jets a little.

    I had measles as a child. It didn't kill me but left me half blind. The only vaccination I had was against smallpox and diphtheria (old country, WWII era). I also survived chickenpox, whooping cough, tuberculosis, and mumps without vaccination. At least my brain wasn't damaged.

    Now why do our modern medical practices have to use mercury if it affects the brain? Does it affect only a small enough percentage of individuals that's it's worth it?

    What kind of people wants a government that kills people for disagreeing with them?
    I'll answer that with another question.
    Why did I stock up on guns and ammo when I thought a corrupt socialist Evil Hag would be my POTUS?
    Evil Hag is the name given to my modified AR15 looking 9mm carbine with two 30-round clips.

    When Winston asks O'Brien what the purpose of the torture is, O'Brian says, "The torture is the purpose."

    And, that is what we're talking about here. Kill. Break up families. Hang. Maim.

    Just add this to the ever growing list of things from the left, which if followed, will lead to grief, despair, and death.

    I wonder if the editors would like to meet my son, Austin, who is now twenty. He was a perfectly normal infant until he had a reaction after a cocktail of mercury-laced vaccinations. Several months later we got a diagnosis of autism. I'm not "anti-vaccine," but I am antithimerosal, which is the mercury preservative used in vaccines that are given to children. The pro-vaccine people always conflate the two, and par for the course, this editorial does not mention thimerosal, which makes the editorial board an absolutely execrable POS. The symptoms of heavy metal poisoning of the brain are identical to autism's. Austin just completed his sophomore year in college and is a member of a fraternity, so he has done well. However, his mother and I spent many hours and thousands of dollars on therapies and activities to get him to that point. After our personal experience, let's just say we're somewhat skeptical of all those studies that purport to find no link between autism and vaccines (many of which don't even control for thimerosal) and government science (e.g. climate change) in general.

    Vaccines, particularly in certain combinations more dangerous even than the individual combined elements, do put someone on the Autism Spectrum. Measles doesn't have to kill; we can all strengthen our immune systems so that a bout of measles is no more serious than a common cold. Nobody is lying. And on the day doctors' orders have the force of law, on the penalty of death, something very wrong has happened to the interpretation of the Oath of Hippocrates.

    if they do not want "white mans" diseases they should have stayed in the home land.

    They've already started doing this. It's not news to a lot of people - as crazy as that may sound. My friend's holistic pediatrician was murdered. A pediatrician I know has been getting threats. Those are just two examples close to home. Many more have been in the news.

    For that philosophy the end justifies the means.
    The rhetoric gets more violent and it encourages the protesters to become more violent. The tipping point will come when the victims
    ( individuals) fight back.

    Strange how, had it been in a "conservative" news outlet, it would have been screaming, protesting, fire them all news, yet this was just treated as something to be proud of......

    How could the writer not see his obvious hypocrisy?
    imo, he does see it and states it, boldly believing that people are too stupid to recognize it.

    Look in the mirror to find the guilty, Boston Herald.
