listen, if you are anti vax. just stay the fuck out of hospitals already. pregnant? too bad. you signed up for your own shit. stop spreading it around. why go to a hospital for services when you don't trust medicine anyhow?
Interesting that they want all girls and women to have babies only to murder the babies the minute they're born with illnesses that were eradicated by vaccines they vilify and lie about so as many kids as possible get sick and die. It's cruel, sick, and sadistic. #thegopisadeathcult
worse that women fall for this shite. but they chose that, so guess they just need to marinate in their own bad decisions. too bad she may have killed other people's babies though, hope that maternal antibodies for measles are protecting the little ones of those who are vaxxed.
I had a radiography procedure at an imaging center adjacent to a maternity hospital here in TX recently. Large signs at the entrance saying - Don’t come in here if you have measles or think you have measles.
It's the nightmare scenario we all knew RFK Jr would bring to the job. Didn't all these physicians vote to confirm him too. Abandoned their hypocratic oaths.
The worst part is: this was all avoidable. These illnesses that have been eradicated will all come back, and even more so, without USAID on the front lines.
Seems like Trump is already on it, but you guys might want to revisit the 1A along with the 2A. The 1A clearly does not make for more informed Americans, and the 2A does not protect you from tyrants.
The babies from vaccinated moms might have some protection … the biggest issue is that the measles wipes out the immune system between 30 -90% .. and the babies have a limited immune system.. so even giving immunoglobulin will be limited effect.. their immune systems aren’t up and running yet..
I don’t know what it’s going to take, and I’m sorry, but my ADHD brain has come to the drastic conclusion that it’s going to take a lot of deaths of the innocent.
Why is the mother going to the hospital to give birth? If you don’t believe in vaccines, have your baby at home, you don’t need an epidural.. you don’t know what’s in that! You don’t need medical advice, these people are such hypocrites. 🫠
TBF, it may not have been the mother's decision. These are typically childhood vaccines with decisions taken by their parents. The child may not be aware of that decision until it's too late.
Yes, and now as an adult she could have made the choice to get the MMR vaccine, it’s not an “oops I didn’t get it as a child so I can never get it ever”. Adults born after 1957 that did not get the two doses of the vaccine as a child can still be vaccinated. That’s why information is important
Do you know what vaccines you had as a child? I'm not sure I do. I'm confident that I had the MMR vaccine, but if I hadn't, would I know? The current measles outbreak should certainly prompt people to check their vaccination status, but is that as easy as it sounds?
You don’t know exactly, but you certainly know if your parents are antivax or not - you would ALWAYS need to give the reasons or documentation of why you don’t have xyz vaccinations. And if you’re not sure, then you would talk to your doctor.
School records medical records, There are ways to test without records. For some, blood tests can determine if you are immune, even without a record. If necessary, it is safe to receive repeat vaccinations, even if you are unsure of your previous vaccination status.
A typical prenatal workup includes labs for measles titers at the first appointment. (Even if you had the childhood vax, protection may not have persisted.)
There is a central data base that goes back to at least 1976. My son grew up in Kansas, and now lives in California. His records were sent to his phone. Ask your pharmacist to print out a record of your immunizations.
It may not be the woman’s fault. We don’t know if she was vaccinated or not. I had measles and chickenpox as a child but I did not have rubella and unknown to me I was not vaccinated. I learned it when I was pregnant. Scary! I got the vaccine the day after giving birth to my son.
Same thing just happened with my daughter with rubella. She had all the childhood vaccinations and was only 17 when she got pregnant. I have no idea why she didn't have immunity, it was very scary. She and baby were fine 💓
Thank republicans! They undermine proven science on a regular basis and are a direct danger to everyone... Especially the morons dumb enough to keep giving the dumbest people on the planet positions of power.
What people forget is that measles are highly dangerous. Deadly disease, and if one survives he may encounter lifelong immunity defects and/or braindamage.
While they recommended the MMR shot at 12mo you can give it to babies starting at 6mon if requested. I just asked to have my 9mo daughter vaccinated early because of this craziness!
Texas is a Third World country. Just like all of the Red(neck) States.
After what diseases of the colonists did to the Native Americans, I wonder if they are laughing their asses off right now to see we are doing the same thing to ourselves. Probably smallpox next.
I don’t understand why in that outbreak location the hospital is not requiring masking for everyone until they are determined to have been vaxxed, especially in an L&D ward where they know highly vulnerable people can be exposed. Your right to be maskless ends where you can expose others.
Yes, but the states with republican legislatures have been messing with elections for decades—gerrymandering, imposing restrictions to poor areas (like reducing poling places), and the newest trick is to challenge tens of thousands voters prior to elections in order to remove them from voter rolls.
If the mother is vaccinated, her newborn has immunity until at least 6 months. The measles vaccine is typically recommended between 12 and 15 months, but can be given at 6 months for children that will be traveling internationally or to children that live near an outbreak. No vax, no protection.
Nothing changes in America until it starts literally affecting home. I wish we had a culture that embraces critical thinking yet we don’t. People literally don’t think it can ever happen to them and it’s just others and then it’s drama time when it’s them. That’s us. Maybe we will learn. I hope so.
Long term effects of measles can occur years after the initial infection. Measles can erase the body's immune system, making it vulnerable to other diseases, and can also cause SSPE, a fatal brain disease . If you choose not to vax your kid and they infect an infant, you could kill that baby.
The grifters in government are all vaccinated up the yingyang and I'd bet all of their family members are too. This includes RFKjr. Yet they have the gall to tell the common folk not to bother.
The article doesn't mention this, but measles is particularly dangerous for babies. It's one of the reasons you want all their family members vaccinated.
This is absolutely horrible news. I cannot imagine the worry for these families. As the parent of a baby that spent 104 days in a NICU, any sneeze sent us to panic mode.
It's airborne.
It persists for hours in an enclosed space a room, an elevator, a hallway).
You spread the virus before you know you have it.
It's nothing to FAFO about.
Get vaccinated.
Vaccine denier politicians should have to, by law, expose their children, their grandchildren, nieces, nephews etc to deadly diseases. Kiss the measles bubby.
Oh. They got diphtheria, tuberculosis, rubella, even polio to come yet. Once things get a roll on shit gets crazy real quick!! For whatever reason, this whole thing is a concerted effort to literally fracture the US, across the board! Whoever controls the US, controls a world of nuclear weaponry .
it makes me wish that mumps were more virulent. lots of grown unvaxxed men with balls the size of grapefruit would turn this anti vax thing around very quickly. and added bonus. they could no longer breed.
Non-Vaxxers should be ashamed of themselves. RFKjr is responsible for Public Policies to protect citizens. His personal beliefs should not be figured into the equation.
As a nurse, I believe in doing no harm, helping others heal, enabling others to educate themselves and to scrutinize everything, and empower others to seek the truth no matter how inconvenient. If you do those things, my personal opinion and advice won't matter. It's your decision that matters.
Another thing — take a look at public health policy in Europe, which is *much* more wary of big business across the board and at the same time more susceptible to cross-border transmission of disease.
That’s a good ruler by which to judge U.S. policy. Again, vaccines save lives.
I looked over your profile. We share the same interests and agree on the same politics. Except regarding vaccines.
Trusting those in a position of power and profit over yourself doesn't guarantee you the truth. If you find solace in your ignorance, then I feel that's very unfortunate.
it's totally going to be okay RFK says if you can't get the already tried and untrue cures for covid just cover your baby and crisco and orange soda and all will be well with the world
One of the worst side effects of not getting vaccinated is that others can pay the price of your bad decision. The fallout is not limited to the people who don't get vaccinated.
This is class warfare against regular folk and oligarchs. Access to vaccines must be mandatory for the protection of the public at large. RFK has to be stopped
or just cram all the cod liver oil you can stand apparently. if you don't trust your doctors to help you make informed decisions, stay the hell out of hospitals. even if you are delivering a baby. seriously. the hypocrisy is just galling.
Senator Bill Cassidy-Are you proud of your vote to appoint HHS Sec RFK Jr who is doing nothing to stop the spread of the measles outbreak & instead is promoting quack remedies that will increase the spread? The bad outcomes are on you and we won’t forget.

Unfortunately for the rest of us, anti-science/anti-vaxxers can create significant collateral damage during the correction process.
Unfortunately when I look over the Atlantic, I won’t be holding my breath.
I think there will be a lot of pain and suffering first.

Is your conclusion no one should get vaccinated because Big Pharma creates vaccines against contagious childhood diseases?
That’s a good ruler by which to judge U.S. policy. Again, vaccines save lives.
Did you have to take any history of medicine classes?
No dount “Big Pharma” is out for a profit and that’s problematic, but vaccines save lives.
They weaponized it.
How exactly did they weaponize measles and when did that start? What did they do?
Trusting those in a position of power and profit over yourself doesn't guarantee you the truth. If you find solace in your ignorance, then I feel that's very unfortunate.
So then what, encourage a 3 day old infant to eat more broccoli?
