Nobody wants to face the public wrath of the internet but anti-vaxxers experience this daily as people continue to troll them, however, you know what's even worse than getting challenged by someone you don't know online - someone online with a medical degree. That's right according to data analysis from CNN measles cases in the United States have surpassed the highest number on record since the disease was declared eliminated nationwide in 2000.

Doctors are employing all strategies to fight the disease from using electronic medical records to identify unvaccinated patients living in outbreak zones to refusing to accept patients who haven't been vaccinated - and now they have taken the fight to Twitter. Sure some of these savage tweets are funny, but believe it or not, fighting misinformation on the internet is vitally important, even when it's done in a simple tweet. Scroll down below to read some anti-vaxxers get destroyed by doctors and don't forget to upvote your favs!

That's the kind of language that everyone should use to these incredible blockheads that refuse to have their offspring vaccinated.

Measles became a nationally notifiable disease in the United States in 1912, meaning that health care providers and laboratories were required to report diagnosed cases. During the first decade of reporting, an average of about 6,000 measles-related deaths were reported annually.

    In the 1950s, researchers found a way to isolate the measles virus in a patient's blood, and in the 1960s, they were successful in transforming the isolated virus into a vaccine. The vaccine was licensed and became part of the measles vaccination program, introduced in 1963.

    Before the introduction of the measles vaccination program, according to the CDC, there was an estimated 3 to 4 million people getting infected with the disease yearly nationwide. Following this program the numbers of cases and deals from measles substantially dropped. In 1994 there were 963 reported cases, which fell to 508 cases in 1996.

    This is actually a very good strategy. Just make sure that anti rub-patients also get a treatment with rotting swedish fish, also internally.

    Jump forward to 2000, when the disease was declared eliminated in the U.S and there were only 86 reported cases. This meant there had been no continuous transmission of the disease for over 12 months. These numbers only continued to plummet until a resurgence in 2014 where the country experienced 23 separate outbreaks, which occurred primarily among the unvaccinated Amish community.

    In 2018 the U.S saw 17 separate outbreaks and the numbers continue to climb. According to the CDC, the disease was largely imported and spread among unvaccinated pockets: "Eighty-two people brought measles to the U.S. from other countries in 2018. This is the greatest number of imported cases since measles was eliminated from the U.S. in 2000."

    Their "evidence" is: I saw someone called Karen, who is definitely not a doctor or a medical researcher, write a Facebook post about it, so that's my evidence

    I will never get over the fact that some parents would rather have a dead child than an autistic child.... (not that vaccines cause autism)

    their thinking is already flawed, so to me, it doesn't seem like that big a stretch.

    My ex-husband believes that vaccines are bad for vegetarians and vegans. So, after our twins had all their vaccines, I put our younger children's vaccines on halt til they were a bit older. He was determined for them to not be vaxx'd, especially because of the "autism" connection. Laughs on him - I'm ASD, and three out of our four girls are also. Nothing to do with vaccines, as #3 kid was dx'd before she had any immunizations. And they're amazeballs kids.

    Nothing wrong with being autistic either. I'm perfectly happy being me, as are my kids.

    My twins have Asperger's and I have never thought vaccines caused their autism but even if I did I would have them inoculated anyway because 2 kids with autism is better than 2 dead kids. They are two amazing young men who are funny (especially once we taught them the concept of sarcasm which was tough for them to grasp), whip smart and polite. Most people would just assume they were shy and never know the difference. No one knows what causes autism and I think it's a gigantic leap to point to vaccines and say that's the cause. Maybe it was the stressful pregnancy, or the high fever I had, or maybe it's related to Uncle M. who was too old to ever be thought of as autistic but looking back, probably was. But it's just make the wild assertion that it's due to vaccines with 0 proof.

    As a person on the spectrum I can assure you that vaccines don’t cause autism. It’s a hereditary trait.

    My sister is absolutely certain I have some level of autism. I received a vaccination recently. I guess I may get autism^2? Halp? (Trust me, this is a joke!!)

    My sister has autism and You cannot get it after you are born. You are BORN WITH IT, because it is a brain deficiency. So when you see people with a kid with autism and they are vaccinated, It is not caused by the vaccination.

    Good people of the internet! I know a doctor, I worked with him for a couple of years, he did Not vaccinate his children. Till this day he is no longer a specialist that I will ever respect. His reasoning is he doesn't know whats in them... First of all, what the f**k, second, okay I assume we can forget what we learned 20 years ago, but your a doctor!!!! Don't say s**t like that out loud. P.S he also believes in some world order and that climate change is a hoax. Oh and he thinks government tests s**t in poor countries(in this case its Ukraine)

    I have autism. XD I feel kind of offended that people think it's caused by certain vaccines as opposed to all the other more likely causes. For the record in case anyone is afraid of having vaccines because of this, having autism has not ruined my life.

    I’m not vaccinated. I’m fine. My mom doesn’t vaccinate me because she doesn’t want ALL of them. If you could only have some of them, she’d vaccinate me. But if you want some of them, you have to get all of them. I’m not against vaccines or vaccinated people, I’m just not vaccinated. And I’m FINE.

    You may be fine, and you might be going to be fine in the future, although you have no idea of that. Nonetheless, you might also spread around the diseases you're not vaccinated against and pass them onto people who CANNOT get vaccines, even though they want to, because their health doesn't allow it, thus endangering THEM and making YOU responsible for their death if it comes so far. Vaccines aren't only for YOUR OWN health, they are for the health of the ENTIRE POPULATION. It's called herd immunity, and it only works if about 95% of all people are vaccinated. So, you see that anti-vaxxers are a bunch of selfish arseholes.

    Unfortunately, you see to this day parents with a cigarette on their hand pusing strollere, the smoke sinking to where the baby is lying. Thus, the unfortunate answer is that enough parents simply do not care.

    Anti-vaxxer has such a negative ring to it. I suggest to change it to pro-diseaser.

    Above explanation by Eve Switzer pretty much describes what anti-vaxxers do on the internet and in real life, and it also describes why they are sometimes succesful. "Health freedom" sounds so much better than being "pro desease" and "quackery".
