It still exists &#8211; by the thousands in various parts of the world. The United States has roughly 200 cases every year. Did you know that? I didn&#8217;t until I looked it up.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Don&#8217;t you think it&#8217;s weird that there was hysteria over 140 measles cases (where no one died or was permanently harmed) and you hear exactly ZERO about 200 cases of leprosy? Everyone knows when there is a measles outbreak. It&#8217;s all over the local news here that there are THREE cases of chicken pox in LA (ahem, in vaccinated kids *sips tea*).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">How do we not hear about these cases of leprosy? Why aren&#8217;t you walking around concerned about leprosy every day? Why aren&#8217;t you concerned about someone from another country bringing leprosy into Australia or the US and somehow exposing all of our most vulnerable to this illness?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">I&#8217;ll tell you why.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Because there&#8217;s no vaccine for leprosy.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">You are afraid of what we vaccinate for because these illnesses are hyped up all of the time. It&#8217;s propaganda. You are told what to fear, so they can then sell you an alleged solution.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Measles and others is a concern for you because you are told that it should be. But you don&#8217;t walk around fearing leprosy. Your children haven&#8217;t contracted it either.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Funny how that all works, isn&#8217;t it?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The only diseases we fear are the ones that a vaccine has been developed and marketed for.
