Already, the U.S. has more measles cases this year than in all of 2024, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said. Other states with outbreaks — defined as three or more cases — include New Mexico, Kansas, Ohio and Oklahoma. Since February, two unvaccinated people have died from measles-related causes.
The new outbreaks confirm health experts’ fears that the virus will take hold in other U.S. communities with low vaccination rates and that the spread could stretch on for a year. The World Health Organization said this week cases in Mexico are linked to the Texas outbreak.
The Mennonite woman in west Texas who basically said that she was fine with her son dying to avoid the vaccine really disgusted me. She is also implying that death is better than any form of autism (that connection claim has been thoroughly discredited).
Giving your kid liver damage to own the libs lol
But the social media research I did says Vitamin A is the natural way to build up immunity! /s
Snake oil sales persons everywhere. Supplements should have been regulated by the FDA from its inception.
Don’t worry, this number will go down very shortly. Oh, not because we’ll stop the spread, but because these morons will fire all the people in charge of tracking why all the kids are dying.
Unbelievable. Fuckin unbelievable
Aka totally predictable and easily avoidable, which makes this BS unbelievable.
I don’t think we should ever forgive the anti-vaxxers. I mean, we probably should if any of them come around, but in my heart I want to just brand “STUPID” on their forehead.
Better to brand something like “CONTAGION”.
Plague Rat
It’s a problem that solves itself. Just seems to be taking a while for them all to drop off.
Except that’s not how it works.
People don’t get vaccinated, they die from preventable diseases. That’s exactly how it works.
But they also kill their children and innocent bystanders.
I know someone who is immune compromised because she had a rare genetic disorder, and the medicine she needs to live fucks up her immune system. She can’t benefit from vaccines. If some anti-vaxxer refuses a vaccine, gets sick, and sneezes on her on the subway, she’ll might die.
Plus very old and young people are vulnerable, too.
The person who didn’t get vaccinated might not even die, if they’re otherwise healthy.
Oh for fucks sake. You do realize that when you don’t have herd immunity, the virus gets a wonderful chance to evolve and become resistant or even immune to the vaccine right? A vaccine isn’t nearly as effective when herd immunity isn’t at play and vaccines aren’t 100% effective, wanes over time, not everyone can get them, newborns can’t get them right way, and immunocompromised still have problems even with the vaccine.
These assholes will find a way to fuck over the sane.
Dipshits.
So much winning…
RFK says this is normal, so don’t worry
Actually, he’s called for more measles.
So, quit fooling around Texas, your MAGAt overlords demand more sacrifice
He wants measles parties like we had chicken pox parties. Except kids didn’t really die of chickenpox, but they will die of measles.
Likely higher than that due to piss poor reporting. I recall seeing an alt government account hinting it could have already been in the 2000s a few weeks back but they couldn’t speak officially.
If only you had this thing… called vaccines. Oh well!
Dipwhit actually had a good idea. See, if you get the measles once, then your body will build up an immunity to it. Now, if you could get the measles without any of the negative effects, that would be even better. But is probably science fiction.
Just take fish oil and pass on those vaccines. You’ll be fine.
(just in case, /s)
Darwinism must prevail somehow.
