One of the most eerie long-term effects of measles: a rare, almost always fatal complication called subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. It develops years after measles infection & is characterized by cognitive decline, personality changes and dementia. Another long-term effect is 'immune amnesia'.

Just had our first case of measles in my county (in Canada) at a medical building in which I have an appointment Friday. I’m not thrilled. Now I’m going to have to PUSH my family doc for a vaccine. (I was vaccinated a 100 years ago when I was a kid). At least run a titer. 😷😷😷

I can give anecdotal evidence that this is correct. After I contracted measles, I got viral pneumonia, and was bedridden for four months. For quite a while afterwards, I kept getting sick with colds, sore throats, etc.

My anecdotal evidence is that I ended up with T1 diabetes following having the chix pox in 1980. 45 years later (they actually started seeing the connection between viruses & T1d during covid) they're finally talking about it.

You can do something called a titer test.

"Fun fact": Sars-Cov2 probables does the same.

Call me wacky, but I choose not to get my medical advice from bronze recovering heroin addicts. If our federal appointments were as well-supported by science, facts, curiosity, and care as our medical pros, we'd be safer.

measles after 10 can drive you crazy from the itch. adults die from shingles. even seemingly healthy ones. first hand knowledge.

fabiosfan.bsky.social•1 day ago

I thought I was going to die. Watching the capital in 2021 be attacked stressed me the f@&$ out. Sure enough, I woke up Saturday with shingles. And can still feel the nerves (PHN) from time to time. I refuse to watch the news as I know it will have a severe effect on me. Not worth it!

The rule of nature hasn't changed in millennia. If you're stupid you're dead.

richservo.bsky.social•2 days ago

If only the stupid died, I would kinda be ok with it, the problem is, there are innocent people that can't be vaccinated and the more morons that exist the more in the vulnerable become.

richservo.bsky.social•1 day ago

And of course children of stupid people don’t deserve it. The irony being all these morons were vaccinated as children.

bonniedreams.bsky.social•2 days ago

Good information, although if it came out of RFK Jr's broken glass in his throat mouth, I knew it wasn't true. If only the anti-vaxers would believe this.

If you chose not to give your child the measles vaccine, I’d say now is the time to reverse that decision.

I am 62. I got my MMR 2 weeks ago. Just in case.

MMR Booster.

To note: I got my first round when I was a kid.

Shhhh.

Let’s just let the anti-vaxxers succumb to diseases. It will be much easier and produce an optimal outcome.

farmckon.bsky.social•1 day ago

What the @#$&; is wrong with you? Let parents just kill innocent children out of ignorance?

Those kids did nothing, and you are a psychopath to just wish them dead due to their parents stupidity.

Fix your heart asshole.

jenniekermode.bsky.social•1 day ago

Apart from the bit where they infect everyone else and act as a reservoir for new, treatment-resistant mutations.

emptywrites.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not to mention most antivaxxers have all their childhood vaccinations. It’s their kids who are the victims. Monstrous

This is human R/J and simple minds believe it like ice cream tastes good. It is the modern story of misinformation, the present day attack of constant lies and twisted truth from government ,business, legal,financial, media sectors of America; ego: power &control

kathrynhf.bsky.social•1 day ago

Indeed. I had measles as a child 60 years ago (pre-vaccine). Repeated chest infections / tonsillitis over the next few years, having never had them before. Still prone to chest infections.

w422200.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds like you've had a rough time with your health. I hope you're feeling better now.

kathrynhf.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thanks! It's quite manageable now - it was much worse when I was a child. My mother always said measles had affected my health, long before the research about long term effects on the immune system was published. That finally convinced me she was right!

w422200.bsky.social•1 day ago

I guess so🤝.
I think we could chat privately if you don't mind .

kevdaly.bsky.social•1 day ago

I wonder if that has a bearing on the fact that I got chicken pox about 6 months after I had measles?
I suppose it was just the joy of being a child in the 60's (at least the music was good though).

juliaringma.bsky.social•1 day ago

I wonder if this is part of the reason why people who had Covid keep getting sick and with other viruses, over and over.

eleldouble.bsky.social•1 day ago

And become T1 diabetic. I got mine after the chix pox in 1980 before a vax was available. Viruses are NOT innocent, & this mother's attitude about losing her child absolutely floors me.

davidmckinney59.bsky.social•1 day ago

What scared me mostly about getting the measles in the 60's was the rumor it made boys sterile...whatever that was.

mad-catter-chatter.bsky.social•1 day ago

If that were true - we might as well roll around in each other's fecies like dogs. Hard F-ng Pass.

Give me a long ass, hygienic needle w/ scientifically proven & time tested vaccine ANY day.

These anti-vaxxers claim that the Covid vax doesn't work but where did the pandemic go? F-ing 🤡s

This theory currently being promoted by Children's Health Defense (Founder, former chair and chief litigation officer RFK Jr) in a new video where they interview parents of the little girl who died of measles.

historicaldream.bsky.social•1 day ago

I agree

barronwtramp.bsky.social•1 day ago

Good.
They're idiots and deserve to be ignored, even by their own immune system.

*yes, even their dumb kids
