Apologies for my political instincts, I thought the first nationwide measles outbreak would happen *after* Trump’s first 100 days

Reposted from Anne Cronin

The number of measles cases in the US jumped 35% in a week to 222, and don't yet include the 39 new cases Texas reported at the same time. @jessicanix.bsky.social and Damian Garde have the story >

People *really* underestimate how explosively fast measles spreads

I don’t think people realize how ridiculously contagious it is

If we didn’t have so many people vaccinated the numbers would be wild

How innocent and naive we were.

Should have taken the under.

My child is turning 5 and doesn’t have her annual appointment until May. I asked if we could come in early for her MMR booster. I got a condescending response from the nurse. I think I’m ignoring it and making an appointment.

Honestly, me too. It was like Measles heard about RFK Jr. and just let their freak flag fly.

Nothing a little chicken soup, vitamin A, and suntanning your taint can't fix, right?

Exceeding expectations

It got Kennedy to recommend talking to your doctor on if the Measles vaccine is right for your child!

...right before going back to musing on if EVERY chicken got bird flu it would effectively immunize them better than the vaccines which are risky and trying to find Wakefield 2.0 research.

Was this specifically because of trump crap? So were all dresses just a few firings away from making a comeback? Hot dang...

How has it been <100 days it feels like it has been 1000

Ah but is this outbreak the long term effects of after the first 100 days of his first term?

wastelandrover.bsky.social•2 days ago

In his first term, it took Trump 1 1/2 years before Helsinki where he sold America out to the Russians. This time around he did it in over a month.

Everything is on an accelerated timeline the second time around, so the deadly plague will of course come earlier this time.
