Yeah right. Why don't you show that clip to the grieving families that just lost hitter two little girls to the measles out break in west Texas? Death counts of now is 2 dead out of just 700 cases.

All because they listened to the idiot MMR vaccine deniers who have blood on their hands spreading such claptrap bullshite.

Even RFK jt says it's safe and effective...

Measles are highly contagious and can be deadly and the outbreak is spreading....

More blood to come.


quote:

The more than 700 measles cases reported this year in the U.S. have already surpassed last year's total. The vast majority — more than 540 — are in Texas, but cases have popped up in 23 other states. Two Texas children have died. A 6-year-old girl from Gaines County, the center of the outbreak, died in February, the first measles death in the U.S. in a decade. An 8-year-old girl from the same town, Seminole, died earlier this month.


You should be ashamed of yourself

Lying about vaccines being safe and effective has an impact beyond covid.

Imagine!

Yeah and dead little children have no impact at all right? WTF man. Have you no shame?

Even Trump agrees counter that ! ...

GFY

How many more died, were injured or lost their jobs because they were told take the jab or else.

Now the public is being told to ignore all that, get over it, because this time the experts really mean it!

That’s the price of crying wolf.

I was talking about the mRNA shot the public were told was 'safe and effective'.

I'm talking about public trust in an institution that told people one thing when they KNEW it to be a lie.

To simplify even further, they lied about the covid shot, why should people now trust them about the measles.

Yes, I GET the 2 things aren't the same, but the perception by many out there is that they hear 'vaccine' and 'take it', it's naturally going to cause some hesitation with a large % of the population.


It's not complicated.

No it's deadly! Even the most anti MRNA right wing Doctors I know are all for the MMR vaccine. Ask any of them

Instead of further misleading the public with such tripe we should all be spreading the word with JFK, jr to take the damn vaccine and save young children. And it's not just fatal, it can cause horrific complications short of death....

Measles can lead to serious complications, including pneumonia, encephalitis (brain swelling), and death. Other potential complications include ear infections, dehydration from diarrhea and vomiting, and pregnancy-related issues like premature birth. In some cases, measles can also cause blindness, particularly in children with vitamin A deficienc

I had measles and mumps back in the day. Both got me out of elementary school for a couple of days. Measles itched like crazy, mumps hurt like hell.

So your solution is do nothing and let kids die?
And tell the Mennonites that...

And yes Dementia Joes probably does have blood on his hands for it

Instead of personal attacks how bout a reasoned response to why we shouldn't vaccinate cause of what the dirty illegals have done? Isn't that even more motivation to stop the the inevitable spread ?

Interestingly, in 1960 (ie: before the vaccine) the US mortality rate for measles was around 1 in every 1,000 cases. Today it's closer to 2 in every 1,000 cases.

I mean that I find it interesting that we spent decades getting vaccinated against measles and now that vaccination rates have dropped from ~95% pre-COVID to ~92% (as of 2023, the latest data I can find) we are seeing what might be a growth in mortality.

You do realize that statement comes across as fear porn, right? COVID's current mortality rate is about the same and we consider it to be anything from another cold to another flu.

The NHSTA estimates that 10 out of every 1,000 auto accidents result in a fatality. I would think a more productive concern would be to focus on that.

COvid COvid COvid. You do realize that that 's an MRNA vaccine and the measles one is not, right?

You seem to be hysterical on this and it's clouding our ability to reason out the stances of others. I didn't mention COVID because of the vaccine, I mentioned COVID because of the mortality rate being so similar to that of measles. It was an attempt to show you how unhinged you are coming across as you freak out about (what is essentially) the mortality rate of one thing but shrug off something else which has about the same mortality rate.
