Prolifers are hard at work minimizing measles, just like they did with Covid.

This is very informative, thank you

Not for those of us who are smart enough to get vaccinated.

greenhousemd.bsky.social•4 days ago

True, but what about the infants who are too young to be vaccinated? And the folks who are immunocompromised who can't be vaccinated?

Well that doesn't sound optimal.

So. Who's gonna take their kids to DisneyWorld now? That's a big Heck No from Europe.

Well done, anti-vax cult.

More deaths (1-3 per 1000) and the lasting side effects for some like permanent brain damage, blindness, deafness, and long-term damage to the immune system. Babies whose mothers contract measles can cause birth defects. AND ALL OF THIS PAIN AND SUFFERING IS PREVENTABLE.

And it didn't need to happen. Insanity!

Trump killed a million Americans by mismanaging a pandemic in his 1st term and will kill more than that in this one!

This is insanity, by RFKjr, at its finest.

Sickening. Traitor Trump and his allies push gains in health back several decades.

There is no reason for this to take place

Theirs a remedy for this, but some of you reuse to use it, so shame on you.

Maybe this is what making America great again was referring to?

hugh258.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sorrie I hink you mean 1625 - not 2025. Oh wait. To these lunatics it IS 1625. Which way to the Fox/Tesla sponsered witch burnings?

50 years from now journalists will still be writing articles about this period. There will be podcasts detailing episode by episode how stupid we are from the inside out. The downward spiral of a nation. A self inflicted wound that never healed.

graysonmendenhall.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is terrifying. A self-inflicted, ego-driven step backward. RFK Jr. will live in infamy for the harm he is going to do.

Americans should be required to provide vaccination certificates before traveling overseas.

pewnack.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sorry, America has "public health"?

You think that's "socialism" don't you?

greenhousemd.bsky.social•4 days ago

I have absolutely no idea what you mean by that.

pewnack.bsky.social•4 days ago

Are you serious?

Your nation doesn't have universal healthcare largely because of white supremacy (so non-whites don't get healthcare) and because of your national individualism obsession "I'm not paying for someone else's healthcare".

greenhousemd.bsky.social•4 days ago

Why are you coming across as so aggressive about this?
I am a pediatrician. The epitome of an advocate for healthcare for everyone. If you haven't figured it out yet, I don't agree with anything going on here.

pewnack.bsky.social•4 days ago

My apologies. I'm just really tired of the US trying everything in public health but the things that work in every other developed nation, and expecting a different outcome. It's just maddening.

pewnack.bsky.social•4 days ago

And now thanks to your "waves arms at shitshow of healthcare system" you're likely going to be responsible for the next pandemic. So there's that.

pewnack.bsky.social•4 days ago

Your populous also seems to think by and large that vaccines are a "personal choice". When they're clearly a social duty.

blbarden.bsky.social•4 days ago

If its endemic doesn’t that mean that there will be a natural resistance to the disease? That is what they said about allowing Covid to run its course, right?

greenhousemd.bsky.social•4 days ago

No. Endemic simply means that the disease exists routinely at a certain rate within the community. Given how incredibly contagious measles is (far more so than Covid), and that young infants can't get the vaccine, we don't want that.
