    Hey, you’re a genius! Let’s look at a list of all countries with measles outbreaks and restrict all their citizens from travel!

    Oh no, there is sub-optimal measles vaccination coverage across the EU/EEA! Oh no, Yemen, India, Pakistan, the Russian Federation, Canada, Mexico!

    I don’t know what country you live in, Mr. Genius, but for your sake I hope it’s North Korea so you can be isolated from the rest of civilization.

      Mr Genius, North Korea and russia are already isolated…

      And neither Yemen nor India, Pakistan or Mexico have effectively “free entry” to Europe.

      As for the US - they have almost free entry AND they just killed the CDC. Which means we won’t know how many cases they have and how bad the situation will be in a year or two.

        Haha, holy crap you’re a dim bulb!

        1. You completely ignore my lead and link… THE EUROPEAN UNION is experiencing a resurgence of measles and is undervaccinated. Do you realize how stupid this makes your entire argument? Nobody can be that dimwitted, can they?

        2. NORTH KOREA wasn’t on my list! I was saying I hope you lived there exactly because it is isolated!

        Bruh, you lack even basic reading comprehension skills. I don’t even know how you manage.

        Also, I am the one calling you a genius. Can’t you even come up with your own shtick?

          Are you high, Mr Genius?

          Did you miss the fact that everything we’re talking about here is in the context of Trump closing down the CDC?

          Do you know what the CDC does?

          Also, I am the one calling you a genius. Can’t you even come up with your own shtick?

          Nah, Mr Genius, you didn’t call dibbs! Rookie mistake!
