There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all.

In Vancouver tonight, we laid flowers in memory of the victims of the devastating Lapu Lapu festival attack.

In this incredibly difficult moment, we will comfort the grieving, care for one another, and unite in common purpose.
