An amendment from Italy's anti-establishment government that removes mandatory vaccination for schoolchildren is sending shock waves through the country's scientific and medical community.

It suspends for a year a law that requires parents to provide proof of 10 routine vaccinations when enrolling their children in nurseries or preschools. The amendment was approved by Italy's upper house of parliament on Friday by 148 to 110 votes and still has to pass the lower house.

The law had originally been introduced by the Democratic Party in July 2017 amid an ongoing outbreak of measles that saw 5,004 cases reported in 2017 -- the second-highest figure in Europe after Romania -- according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). Italy accounted for 34% of all measles cases reported by countries in the European Economic Area, the center said.

Italy's Five Star movement and its coalition partner, the far-right League, both voiced their opposition to compulsory vaccinations, claiming they discourage school inclusion.

    Want to bet those two are actually infected with the qanon virus?
    Their language sounds a lot like what comes out of the mouths of those mental zombies.

    No one realizes that the singularity happens when the AI in Area 47 realizes how to access the base lingual heuristics of primate brains. Planet of the Apes was another result, a story released by the Time Corps. because they found it so absurd and thus the truth would be the easiest place to hide one of the most exposed military secrets.

    Trump supporters are actually the zombie horde, they have been prepped but not yet activated. Due to the programming the human body sacrifices a lot of capability for extended longevity, and this extended decay also complements the programmed rage factor driving the zombies to cannibalism.

    There is speculation that the AI displayed some altruism by programming the zombies to experience pleasure, a wholly unnecessary outcome. The qanon virus may one day be defeated if that weakness can be exploited to control the hordes.
