Are the residents of Murrieta California anti-vaxxers?

[csziggy]

Every story I see about the idiots blocking the buses the morons natter on about their children being exposed to diseases from the immigrant children. Why are they so concerned? I haven't heard of any major disease outbreaks as a result of immigrants into the country or of illness among the most recent influx of immigrants from Central America.

Do the citizens of Murrieta no vaccinate their children to protect them from the ordinary childhood illnesses? That's the only reason I can think of that they are so afraid of their children being near children from other locations.

That and blatant prejudice.

4. because they are not only immigrants...they are immigrant children.....not to mention...non melanin

challenged children.....hard to be harsh to children to cover your racism in a cloak of plausible deniability....hmmm....they think they figured it out.....they think saying they are afraid of the "germs" of these children....that seems far more acceptable with plausible deniability of racism....to the fevered racist Teadippy's!

6. Poorly informed meth heads

who can't remember if they've vaccinated their children because of a government conspiracy.

7. The talk radio assholes, John & Ken, on KFI...

...in Los Angeles, are spewing shit about the children/immigrants being infected with TB, scabies and lice. They also claimed that one person had leprosy.

They don't just mention these things a time or two, they literally rant these things for hours - especially John, whose radio schtick is to be perpetually outraged about all levels of government, in general.

They attempt to pass themselves off as non-partisan, but they constantly shill for repugs, teabaggers and minutemen-type wackos, and the events in Murrieta are directly influenced by their racist propaganda spewage, IMO.

That's what I thought but I am not at all familiar with the Murrieta area.
