Conservative talk show host Michael Savage claimed yesterday that the recent Disneyland measles outbreak is just a “clever way for the Alinsky crowd to shift the subject from their failed war on terror to their war on anti-vaccinators.” These left-wing Alinskyites, according to Savage, are controlled by the “medical-pharmaceutical complex” and want to bring about a McCarthy-style witch hunt against people who don’t vaccinate their children.
But this is all just the tip of the iceberg, Savage said. He went on to push the completely baseless conspiracy theory that undocumented immigrant children brought measles to America and said President Obama is responsible for a “crime against humanity” and “medical genocide.”
“I was asked about the origins of the measles outbreak in America and it’s pretty clear to me that it came in with the illegals,” Savage said. “We know that Obama committed a crime against humanity by dumping many, many, many, many ill people, mothers and children primarily, on us this summer unscreened, many of them brought in a killer virus, measles, tuberculosis and other illnesses.”
“Whoever has permitted this, and that would be the stooge at the CDC, the stooge at the NIS and Obama himself, are committing a form of medical genocide,” Savage added.
Despite Savage’s claim, the Central American children who fled to the southern border this summer mainly came from countries with higher vaccination rates than the U.S.
