Who could possibly have predicted this?

Reposted from CNN

A measles outbreak is growing in a rural area of West Texas where vaccination rates are well below the recommended level.

I imagine they'll come up with another conspiracy theory to explain this because they're the good guys. It couldn't possibly be their fault.

They'll assume it was targeted at a red state like a chemical weapon.

On the Jon Ronson podcast he interviews an anti-v*xer in complete denial that her husband died from c*vid. She insisted he was poisoned because she was getting too close to the truth. Whatever helps you sleep at night I guess.

They desperately want someone to blame for all their ills. Someone who isn't them.

My sister had mumps back in the day. And as much as my brother and I actually laughed at the time, looking back it was pretty horrifying.
No one gets that now, right?

It's pretty rare now with the vaccines. My brother had measles when he was in his 20s, which is unusual.

Its pretty simple really. Destroy people's faith in pharma via their wonder product that is so good it needs 'boosters' twice a year and grant them immunity from consequences and there you go.

People have stopped trusting pharma and to a large extent doctors too.
