It's not me - I do not have a vaccine injured child. My family did not leave me because they cannot take facing the symptoms my kids suffers. I did not lose my job to take care of my kid for the rest of my life and his. This is what people talk about in those groups. You should join a few of them - your eyes will be opened to the pain these families face. Empathy is a good thing.

Yellow fever, a viral disease that occurs primarily in tropical and subtropical areas of Africa and South America, kills 30,000 each year. The virus is transmitted most often through the bite of the female Aedes aegypti mosquito. Once controlled fairly well by widespread vaccination and mosquito control, the disease is making a comeback and outbreaks are becoming more frequent.
Yellow fever - I do not know about at all. However, if you visit South America or Africa, you need a shot to be able to visit other countries afterwards. This is why those two continents are last on my list. You do not need to fear this illness if you do not plan travel to either of those places.
Anything mosquito borne is suspect as the big guys are messing with the bugs these days. They just released a bunch in Northern California so expect outbreaks of something! Fear porn coming your way.
"empathy is a good thing"
and then you proceed to ignore the millions of deaths due to vaccine preventable diseases. You are the person responsible for this slaughter. You disgust me.
I'm mostly on the fight against obesity. The 800 thousand plus Americans who die with obesity on their death certificates are the people I work for. Also the millions more dying from obesity-related illnesses.
We all have to choose our causes. If you spend your days worrying about all of them, you will get nothing done.
