You’re blaming the measles on conservatives? 🤣🤣
On ignorance.. and “ anti-science” morons like RFK jr.
So... In essence... Conservatives.
I did not SAY that however>….Cons seem to be the most recent home to anti-science anti-vaxers though….
I'd blame anyone who contracts measles because they feared the MMR vaccine. Especially considering the measles vaccine is highly effective. A single dose of the MMR vax is about 93% effective at preventing measles, while two doses increase protection to 97% or more.
Were the millions of unvetted illegals who invaded our country mandated to take the MMR vaccine?
He’s blaming it on anti-vaxers.
Which science are you referring to? The one that says an XX chromosome is a man?
And all the illegals that were allowed into the county sans the vax, right?
No…they told the immigrants not to get it. Hmm…that’s an odd mixed message, no?
If a disease is virtually eradicated why would not being vaccinated against it be an issue? In a room of 100 people, 91 of them are vaccinated, 9 are not (the CDC says we are 90.8% MMR vaccinated), no one in the room has the measles. why would any of the 100 people be in danger or shit be getting out of hand?
BTW the anti-vaxx movement was more of a natural healing/earthy thing, not MAGA and really not even partisan. MAGA just got pissed over COVID when the vaccine started being required and people punished for not doing it.
Measles is one of the most contagious viruses on earth. If you put one infected person in a room with 10 non immunized people the expectation is that 9 of the 10 would be infected.
That’s nothing, he also blames sailors for his mother being a whore.
Prior to this outbreak, this is where we were at... 9 out of 10 people vaccinated for MMR, and the disease was basically eradicated from our first world society even the 9 out of 100 were relatively safe from infection. We could put 70K people in one stadium 6-7 times a year for the last 100 years and the numbers say as many as 7,000 of them might not be vaccinated and we haven't had a problem for the last what 40+ years? And this goes on in stadiums across the country 4-5-6 months out of the year every year.
Let me ask it this way. If you get the MMR and an illegal does not, who's contracting the measles? Or is your point, if you keep the illegals out, not one has to get the MMR and 'Merica is safe?
It would be helpful to know case # one for the current outbreak. If (and there is no proof of this) it came from someone who came from another country, then it would help to have everyone who comes in (legally) get vaccinated for that before they come in.
Both seem to be true? If we don't re-introduce it back into society, it probably isn't coming back on its own. We've gone since at least the 80's (my lifetime) without a measles season or country-wide scares of the measles. I give all credit to the vaccine for doing its job on this front. Because we had 90+% vaccination rate for MMR we have been able to fill football/soccer stadiums domestically and globally for decades without major outbreaks.
I don't disagree, but I'm also of the mindset if parents would simply ensure their entire family receives the MMR vax, there isn't an issue. We're not some 3rd world country. The measles vax has been available since the 60s and the MMR since 1971. People are taking the COVID vax controversy and broad brushing fear porn over all vaccinations.
I see two main factors at play: the initial small movement linking vaccines to autism, and the fear surrounding COVID vaccinations, which together fueled a broader distrust in vaccines. Now, large segments of the population are opting out of long-established vaccination programs. If this is truly a consequence of "open borders," then that’s all the more reason to protect yourself. After all, if people are willing to buy a gun for security, why not take advantage of a vaccine with over 60 years of proven effectiveness for added protection?
When they lie about safety and efficacy on one, it becomes too easy to question all the others. There's always been a small fraction of people who chose not to get vaccines, and those people were mostly protected by herd immunity. Which as I understand it, basically means a virus has a hard time spreading because an infected person would have to find and infect a non-vaccinated person and just coming into contact with them, even with something as transmissible as MMR, isn't a foregone conclusion that they will also get infected. I'm sure it's more complicated than that, but it's a dumbed down version of how it works.
Kind of like you people brushing fear porn over mild illnesses.
So retroactive mistrust that is in direct opposition of 60 years of proven efficacy? That's not "easy to question", that's straight up ignorance.
That small faction is likely no longer "protected" in the manner for which you speak because conspiracy morons are surrounding them with their infected and ripe for infection bodies.
Just to argue your point (even if I don't believe it) maybe those people chose not to vaccinate because they saw MMR like the black plague. I don't recall myself or anyone else I know getting vaccinated against the black plague yet none of us are getting it because we've moved beyond it. IF that's someone's reasoning, I can understand it, even if I'm not 100% on board with it.
Probably somewhere between syphilis and encephalitis on the fun scale...whatever it is.
100% avoidable. This isn't on those people, it's not even on Chicago's dumb sanctuary policies...this is on an administration that ushered these people into the country.
Reminds me of Monkey Pox... these outbreaks are basically only happening among a certain group of people, but it's wrong to say they're the ones causing the issue.
