I have a really dumb question concerning this state called Oklahoma...........

lets say your college or high school athletic department has unvaccinated students traveling to other schools and some of these students are not vaccinated and they damn well know that they are not vaccinated and this state as a cases of measles and whooping cough running around do you think that the school that these Oklahoma students are traveling to should be banned ..........who is libel............the state, the college, the school, the parents...............who is fucking responsible.............
I would not allow any student traveling to my state from Oklahoma to play a game until they can prove that they have had there shots...........this is just plain irresponsible to place other people lives in danger...........and this rant includes Texas, South Carolina ..........and any other states that is basically permitting this BS...........and also that fraud called OZ and Kennedy and his fucking anti-vaccine board ............has anyone in the media asked these people if they got their shots when they were a kid..............yes or fucking no..................

Bible-belt state refuses to share 'crucial' info on measles outbreaks

Outbreaks of measles and whooping cough in Oklahoma have led to calls for greater transparency from the Oklahoma State Department of Health as the state stands alone in only sharing measles cases on a statewide basis.

Infectious disease and public health experts said the timely sharing of cases with the public can help communities mitigate the spread of disease.

Dr. George Monks, a Tulsa dermatologist and former president of the Oklahoma State Medical Association, has been trying for months to get the state Health Department to share more data. He’s employed social media cajoling, open records requests and complaints to the attorney general’s public access counselor, to no avail.
