Some do, and some use Instagram and TikTok “home remedies” until they’re completely fricked and there’s nothing we can do

And this attitude is why parents don't always trust the doctors and health authorities... when they ask questions, they become public enemy #1,
What? In person is more important. They aren’t getting accosted in clinic. Maybe on the internet because the things they say are stupid.

It won't be fun when Measles cases in Florida skyrocket.

I still remember a rabies vaccine kid who was sent there by their pediatrician (an anti-vax pediatrician).
Dog bite to the hand.
The dad, who was present, had mom on speaker and proceeded to ask every question possible, which I answered.
I spent 3x longer in that room in the ER than I did for anyone else that day.
I tried my absolute best.
They refused the vaccine and immune globulin and left after I wasted 2 hours of my time and a hospital room.
And people ask why we don’t try to convince these crazy people.

Florida has held that title for a while. Hence the term "Florida man/woman"

Yeah, fundamentally these people believe that the vaccine is worse for you than the disease. That isn’t a logical position, nor one supported by the data. Those people have to live with their choices, but they’ve also insulated themselves from any responsibility. Just massive cowards.

People need to understand the difference in polio vaccine and COVID vaccine. Polio needs to remain eradicated in our society. It is some bad shite.
And it shouldn't be a mandate to have them, but schools should be able to require them. And by "them" I mean a very short list of vaccines.
Preach.

Who could have called that overcorrections would occur after the absolutely retarded and draconian COVID mandates.
Posted on 9/3/25 at 5:58 pm to Jcorye1
I mean, no overcorrection was needed. If you remove the Covid vaccination policy, then nothing needs to be done. This movement was hijacked by moronic anti-vaxxers, who have taken advantage of public sentiment, and of course will try to spend the rest of their lives insulating themselves from consequences.

I never thought I’d ever see public health under attack in this country. Vaccines and other public health programs in the 20th century led to an amazing extension of average life expectancy and an increase in quality of life. Some diseases such as polio, measles and rubella were eliminated from this country. It’s hard to believe that tuberculosis was the leading cause of death in the US in the early 20th century. Public health programs nearly eliminated it, too.
I knew I would see it. Unfortunately, doctors could just not keep out of politics. The absolute fricking health care morons that could not stop themselves from all the BLM and other shite did so much damage to the industry as a whole.
Don't shut down protests for COVID - 1k Health Professionals

Public Health has an opportunity to educate the public
Public health is being dismantled. It’s difficult for an institution to educate if it doesn’t exist.
It’s a dumb society that ignores public health. There are a few aspects of all successful societies that must be socialistic and public health is one of them. Other important ones are the military, public roads and first responders. Remove any of those and chaos reigns.

How many parents are aware of PubMed? How many know how to find articles aimed at a layperson's understanding? How many pediatricians direct their patient parents to articles on PubMed?
In the end, theory doesn't matter only reality. The reality is the cohort that won't have their kids vaccinated now will not change their minds no matter how much time and money the government, "Big Vax", the medical profession, and the education system spend on preventable childhood diseases, because those are the people that don't believe those sources now.
It would be as useless as a campaign to educate people that the Earth is an oblate spheroid. The mere existence of the campaign would convince the anti-vaxxers and flat-earthers that they are indeed correct.
There is a wealth of information out there, written from 6th-grade level to post-doc level, that is simply ignored because it is "untrustworthy".

Two Doses are 97% Effective
I’ve seen this number multiple times. So I’ll ask again, if you are 97% not going to catch the measles after exposure due to vaccination, then what difference does it make if someone else isn’t vaccinated.

Wha happened with the kid?
I just read the below which is concerning in a neighborhood where some feed wild animals too much and make them more comfortable around humans. I don’t know how prevalent this particular strain is, but it does make noticing them acting in an aberrant manner more difficult if friendly is in the rabies picture.
quote:
The virus can evolve and manifest in different ways, depending on the animal species and the strain. Most people expect a rabid animal to be aggressive and vicious, but sometimes the infected animal can be quite docile.
“There’s a strain of rabies where the animals get very, very friendly,” LaVigne said. A “family saw a raccoon that kind of showed up on their front step and he was sick and he was so cute and wanted to be petted. And you know when raccoons aren’t barring their teeth they are pretty cute.”
The family petted and fed the animal until it died. They called animal services to pick up the body “and thank God they did, because when they sent the brain out to be tested, it was positive, and so the whole family had to get vaccinated,” LaVigne said. “Oh, my gosh, they never would have known if they hadn’t called animal services.”

Well...
PH said men can get pregnant
PH said gathering was important for social justice causes but not church, weddings, funerals or school
PH said giving puberty blockers to prepubescent children was perfectly safe and healthy
PH has a lot of built up public distrust with good reason.
Now is the time to begin earning trust again by being clear, unbiased, educational, logical, reasonable and everything else one would normally associate with good judgement.

Ok, I stand corrected. But I can’t help but wonder if that and how the Covid vaccine was handled has caused the issues with vaccines now. Prior to, I feel like vaccine opposition was outlier vs popular today.
