from the have-you-ever-seen-a-single-mump? dept.
Kami Altenberg Schaal has been a professional nurse for 22 years. She is pro-vaccine. She gets the flu shot every year as a requirement for her employment, and she vaccinates her family.
[...] Her entire family has been vaccinated with the MMR vaccine, and yet 4 out of 5 members of her family came down with the mumps. Her daughter is a freshman in college, and got the mumps from school.
[...] She isolated her daughter for 5 days ("I know how to isolate a patient, I'm a nurse"), and reported her case to the department of health.
All the members of her family also got booster shots of the MMR vaccine.
17 days after her daughter's exposure, her husband and son woke up with mumps.
After notifying the health department, Kami notified her son's school district as well.
What happened next was apparently something she had not anticipated. Even though her family was fully vaccinated and she followed all the proper medical protocols for dealing with the mumps, many people in her community began to blame her, including some of her medical colleagues, for not vaccinating their children (even though she had!)
[...] Finally, Kami herself woke up with the mumps. She had been tested and was supposedly immune. She had taken the booster. But she ended up getting the mumps anyway.
[...] The department of health nurse was required to send out another letter to the school district, so Kami asked the nurse if she could "put the truth" in the letter to the school district that her son was vaccinated, because she feared being blamed in error, once again, for not vaccinating her children.
The nurse allegedly replied "no."
They will not put that in a letter, because it could give the anti-vaxx movement some fodder.
So they would not protect my family by saying we did the right things, so I had to protect my family. I'm the one who has to defend my family.

Come on people, did any of you RTFA? Health Impact News is an anti-vac rag. It is full of articles on the evils of vaccination. As another poster pointed out thee is no mention of where or when this supposedly took place. The only link is to a Facebook video. There is an article espousing Fecal Transplant to treat Autism. And check out the "About Us" tab on their home page. Oh...and the "Peace With God" tab also on their home page.
The whole site is a religious nut case scam! And most of the above posters fell for it. Really?? Come on people, use your fucking brains!
When life isn't going right, go left.

The link is to the primary source... what more do you want? I bet you are one of the same morons who removes all the primary sources from wikipedia pages too.

The level of brainwashing is amazing, some people are at the point where they will not allow information to affect their worldview if it does not come from the government or corporate source, as if they didn't have a long history of lying about everything.

In this journey, I will never lie to you. I will never tell you something I do not believe. I will never put anyone's interests ahead of yours. I might lie to you. Like Crooked Hillary does all the time. Sometimes I can be too honest. Sometimes, in the heat of debate, and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don't choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. I have done that, and believe it or not I regret it. I do regret it particularly where it may have caused personal pain.

This one is a fail. Trump does not know the meaning of lie, therefore can never lie nor not lie.
He is an entirely different beast, which is why he drives a "certain type" of person into a frenzy.
