... Right.. Because it was so clear this is what was being talked about.
Seriously though.. At the bare minimum, I would say, if you plan to not
put pressure on other nations to do something sane, then you need to
make sure you a) never have anyone sneaking in, b) your own people *are*
vaccinated, and c) that to even enter the country "requires" they meet
the same basic medical requirements to even get in.
I mean, you do know there has been a rise in some things "thought to be"
nearly eradicated precisely because of both the increase of people from
certain areas, entering, combined with the insane anti-vax movement, right?
BTW, the super star of that BS, is now promoting e-cigs, presumably on
the theory that the same "dangerous substance" that causes "autism", in
her universe, is harmless if its used to smoke tobacco, but not if
injected in trace amounts.. Because, of course, an disproven connection
to autism is **much** worse than the nicotine which does have "proven"
effects on lung development, birth weight, etc., in babies... Sigh...
