New York, NY — As TFTP reported at the end of last month, in one of the most shocking moves to date over the 2019 measles outbreak, Rockland County officials declared a state of emergency and effectively banned any child under the age of 18, who had not received the MMR vaccine, from all public spaces.

The Democrats are doing all they can to kill off the freedom of speech. Fox News is just a shadow of its former self, but if the Democrats succeed in gaining “oversight” over its editorial decisions, that would be the coup de grace.
