To all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?" here’s an update for you: Nowadays 75% of women are thinking twice about marriage. Why? Because they’ve finally realized it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage.

Just in case it wasn’t clear: You can’t kale and quinoa your way out of measles. Measles is a VIRAL infection—it is not a nutrient deficiency. Cases in the US occur among nourished people. The common thread? Not being vaccinated.

Highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza is nearly 100% fatal in poultry. Letting it infect birds is NOT a “solution,” RFK Jr. It’s the opposite. It will kill wild & domestic animals and give the virus more chances to mutate to better infect humans, risking a flu pandemic. 1/

Still enraged about the Jackie Robinson erasure by the US military. Yes, under intense pressure they retreated, but that’s not the point. You cannot think about segregation in baseball without thinking about slavery and then segregation in America. Robinson is a PART of knowing, and teaching, this.

Naturally-derived & synthetic versions of a chemical are the same chemical. Ex: formaldehyde, formula CH₂O. TRACE levels in some vaccines, <50 micrograms (µg) per dose. YOUR BODY makes 42,520,000 µg formaldehyde a day. (1.5 oz, 850,000-times more than a vaccine). It’s the SAME formaldehyde. 1/

I have argued for some time that all democracies rely on the inherent good will of the people in power, and they can crumble if that good will is not there. Constitutions and laws are not proof against autocratic desires, and malice. Consequences, as we start to see in Trump’s America, are enormous.

To slow the spread of measles, we need widespread vaccination. We are weeks behind. MeV incubation period is ~12 days AND it takes 2 weeks to develop protection after vaccination. The fact RFK Jr hasn’t ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED vaccination for everyone eligible should tell you his words are empty.

Action items with measles cases growing: If you’re unvaccinated, get vaccinated. It won’t provide instant protection. • takes about 2 weeks to develop memory immunity after vaccination. • measles virus has a long incubation period. measles cases today were infected several weeks ago. 1/

Vitamin A is fat soluble, overdose can occur easily. Don’t take excess vitamin A. It doesn’t prevent or cure measles. It doesn’t replace vaccination. Vitamin A toxicity is dangerous. Vit A deficiency is an issue in developing nations. It’s NOT relevant to US measles outbreak.
