good thing we don't have high speed interstates between Texas and Florida to spread it across the country

(I see Texas plates here in Florida all the time)

wonder if tractor-trailer drivers are big on vaccines

I have a theory that gas-station fuel pump handles are super-spreaders for everything

They don't care. The Lt. Governor agreed to sacrifice his mee maw.

This is what those of us who believe in science call FAFO

Well if it isn’t the consequences of my own stupid actions

All preventable.

But that's not the plan anymore as the fascists in charge know how uncontrolled pandemics concentrate their record capital.

I have strong feeling on shit like this. Of a parent refuses to vaccinate their child and their child gets a preventable disease- that is abuse, that is neglect, and those are crimes. If their kid dies, charge them with murder because the idiot parents are 100% responsible.

can hardly wait for all the other once gone childhood diseases to return which are so lethal to elders... insanity.

Whoa! A photo of a healthcare worker (the guy on the left) wearing a proper N95 respirator mask! That's rare good news!

You know, if everyone wore those N95 or P100 respirator masks, it would stop the measles, and RSV, and flu, and Covid, and....

Do we know how many were of those that contracted were immunocompromised or were these all unvaccinated children?

neroden.bsky.social•7 hours ago

No, but I believe we know they were all unmasked. Respirator masks (N95, P100, etc.) stop measles.

I imagine so. back in the old days neighborhood moms never called docs when we had measles. we stayed in, watched tv all day and as long as we were doing 'ok' moms just rode it out until we recovered.

At least 16 patients have been hospitalized

parisdog.bsky.social•6 hours ago

right. I'm not saying that hasn't happened. my comment is in regards to unreported cases because it's generally a care at home type of thing, until it isn't of course. but I'd bet good money there's kiddos at home recovering whose parents never bothered to call the doc

Getting there but nowhere close yet.

Scientifically it is a concern, socially we have to do about 1000 times better before it is noticed.

Can we just take a moment and appreciate the health benefits these people are being exposed to?

(While Every doctor tells us whipping out measles is good, but alas here we are.)

if they could please create a vaccine now for stupidity, there seems to be a growing market.

Their bodies, their choice.
Tots and pears. #FAFO
