"They want to say people are dying of measles," he told the Observer. "Yeah, in third-world countries they're dying of measles. Today, with antibiotics and that kind of stuff, they're not dying in America."
The Texas legislature is currently considering a bill that would give parents easier access to vaccine exemptions for their children in schools. Zedler is reportedly in support of the bill.

Looks like someone hasn't heard.
"Today, with antibiotics and that kind of stuff, they're not dying in America."
Ignoring the fact that antibiotics don't work on viruses, such methods of curing and preventing diseases are meaningless unless people actually use them as directed which anti-vaxxers don't.
Texas.
lemme just injest antibiotics right quick, real problem solver. cleans diseases right out!
Even if antibiotics worked that way and perfectly, arguing for reaction instead of prevention is fucking dumb
the whole boomer generation is addicted to using pills for all ailments. I had a sinus infection recently and my mother kept going on and on about how I needed an antibiotic when everyone I saw said it was a viral infection.
Welcome to the US medical system and US politics in general.
Incoming "antibiotics also cause autism" movement: "Hold it!"
Measles is a virus you braindead fuck
Oh, oh my god, my brain
Despite my spontaneous mass suicide of brain cells, I can still say, with all certainty, that is man is 100% retarded, and if measles took him, would only better the world.

This is the same logic as putting a bandaid over a deep cut.
I mean sure, it CAN help, but 99% of the time it won't and you'll just end up making the injury worse, and the 1% is that the cut wasn't that deep at all.
When I was sick with the flu two weeks ago, my boss who worked 15 years in a pharmaceutical distribution building insisted that I "go get some of those antibiotics and you'll feel better".
I was so dumbfounded by his comments I didn't have it in me to tell him that influenza is a virus, not bacteria.
A medical consultant who doesn't even understand the basics of anti-biotics.
This truly is America.
Looks like this game of Pandemic is nearing its victory condition.
"I don't need an anti-virus! I'll just uninstall the virus when it comes!"
"I don't need no vaccine. My vaccine is common sense."
