Aotearoa New Zealand has declared a whooping cough epidemic for the whole country. But you were probably the person who informed me about it.

Thanks for all the information you provide.

A friend’s child was exposed here too in Philly. What is happening???

This is so sad, never in my wildest dreams did I picture Australia as being an anti-vaxer nation. Yet here we are allowing children and the elderly to die or have long lasting effects from diseases we can control!

Poor baby. How many of our children do we have to lose.

valschaefer.bsky.social•171 days ago

Wow, the Gold Coast is the anti-vax capital of QLD much like Florida in the 🇺🇸

☹️⚰️

When kids die in the US due to trump's clown show of anti-vaxxers, people are going to be very sorry.

dlmetcalf.bsky.social•171 days ago

I don't think people who voted for him will feel sorry. You're ascribing a level of humanity to sociopathic cult members, that their past behaviours don't demonstrate. They voted him back. They'll celebrate kids dying, ignore it, rationalise it away, and blame something else. Antivaxxers always do.

That’s what happens when you tell people that disease gives “deep rich hybrid immunity” or is somehow an acceptable solution for immune boosting.

Tragedy.

Absolutely awful.

My support worker (and their kids have a nasty cough). Doctor told them, a person in their 40s, they had “croup” did not test for anything… when did people in their 40s start having croup?

njbbari3.bsky.social•171 days ago

Adult “croup” is an interesting thing. Essentially a laryngitis. However, if it persists it can have serious causes… and should be looked at.

njbbari3.bsky.social•171 days ago

Adult whooping cough often has no or very low pitched whoop. Some mistake this for croup.

sepfieldpatient.bsky.social•171 days ago

I guess we will never know what she has 🤦‍♀️

njbbari3.bsky.social•171 days ago

Other causes… of course.

It's the inspiratory stridor that follows the coughing paroxsyms

Criminally negligent advice

I hope people get angry and sue him

He's damaged public health and public confidence in vaccines

Consequences now!

Do you think he saw this coming?

njbbari3.bsky.social•171 days ago

I don’t know Mike… I don’t know…

but it doesn’t seem to me to be a complicated thought process…

A tragedy that shouldn’t happened… we can defend our children against this debilitating disease… the vaccine is available and accessible

This is depressing. Are people at all noticing the slowing down of society, how difficult it is to conduct day to day affairs & the way people drive now? Whenever I call a business they are always short staffed - mistakes made are many now. It’s death by a thousand cuts. 🥹
