We shouldn’t be surprised. After all, the Republicans have already tried to bring back the Crusades, the Inquisition and monarchy. Of course they want to bring back the plagues.

BREAKING: Pat Robertson is an infectious disease

blue_grit · February 3, 2015, 8:59pm

This whole vaccine issue is putting the insanity of the GOTP front and center.

There he goes stirring up the shallow end of the gene pool again. It is tragic that the kinds of people that would follow healthcare advice from Pat Robertson are rarely taken by Darwin before they procreate.

The sooner and louder, the better!

Dear sir, how do you know you’ve had both measles and German measles. They are different.

“natural immunity is a pretty good thing, and if you have some of these diseases when you’re a kid you have immunity the rest of your life.”

That’s basically how vaccines work, you world-class fucking imbecile. They cheat the “system” by giving you the antibodies, etc., without you having to suffer through the disease first. The immunity they provide is as natural as natural gets.

Yes it is but the media is playing right along. They give them a soapbox and never confront them.

Between the vaccine “debate,” advocating for the elimination of hand washing by food service workers, and measles being spread by illegal aliens, it’s been a banner week for gasbags. I hope Democrats are recording all these statements carefully, for their 2016 campaign ads.

No one has a lower opinion of the average Republican than I do, but they’ve already managed to shock me three or four times this week, and it’s only Tuesday. I can’t wait to see what they’ve got planned between now and the weekend.

… and if you have some of these diseases when you’re a kid you have immunity the rest of your life.

Of course, the rest of your life might not be very long if you have some of these diseases when you’re a kid.

azjude · February 3, 2015, 9:13pm

Oh for christ sakes…fluoride? Really?

You’re about 50 years behind the times there toothless!

So, after saying such a dumb-ass comment, you want us to listen to your thoughts on vaccinations?

Go away!

Why the Hell didn’t we elect this guy president
in 1988 when he was 2% less senile than today?

fargo116 · February 3, 2015, 9:23pm

Pat sounds like THIS guy:

ralph_vonholst · February 3, 2015, 9:23pm

“You know, when I was a kid, we all got measles! We got mumps!”

Unfortunately, he got better.

captaincommonsense · February 3, 2015, 9:25pm

Maybe the deniers should skimp on the Polio vaccines too.

I hear the immunity thingie will work there too. (assuming it doesn’t kill/cripple the afflicted)

But that would be “gawdz wee-uhl”, wouldn’t it?

scaramouche · February 3, 2015, 9:27pm

That may change soon. That is certainly another aspect of this.

doremus_jessup · February 3, 2015, 9:31pm

At this point Jeb will be the last man standing.

Coming up on the News at 11:00! Pat Robertson spouts insanity! A dog bites a man! Here on Action News!
