      That’s what the media cycles misses. There’s been no better time in history to be a rich uninformed idiot. History will look back on this as the golden age of the rich idiot

    To illustrate how fucking insane this is:

    Measles has a death rate of 1-2 per 1000 cases. With US population at 340,000,000, that means 340,000 - 680,000 dead. And that’s out of the 85 million people hospitalized, which would be a society destroying situation.

      Not only that but measles can cause immune amnesia! Which is when “the immune system forgets how to fight off infections it successfully dealt with before—and [research] showed that this effect lasts for years!”

        not only forgets, but the measles infects the dendritic cells which presents antigens to T-cells(i thought it was b-cells) which fights the viruses, so its actually immunosuppression.

      They do try to destroy the country in every possible way. At this point they just want to make sure it’s really dead.

      Oh, its much worse. That’s the death rate for people who get treated, in a vaccinated population in a modern hospital. In low-income countries (or in, say, places with 85 million hospitalizations) over 20 out of a thousand people die. And in displaced refugee children, it can rocket up to 3 out of every 10 infected children dying.

      And that’s just death, measles also creates life long conditions, some that appear years or decades after. For example the way he speaks, his disease is linked to childhood measles ironically.

      Also another bad thing about makes is that it can reset your immune system, so now other diseases that you didn’t have to be afraid before now can be deadly.

          lmao, imagining RFK scooping up some roadkill, preparing it and having a bbq all in pleasure at the top and causal Friday at the bottom with his cute blue jeans, is hilarious and idiotic at the same time.

    Guys, if you live in Magastan, talk to your doctors, ask them to give you any shot they can of anything that needs a booster over time (or that you miss) and do it ASAP. If a new pandemic from a new virus comes, you’ll be fucked, but at least you won’t be if what you suffer is an epidemic of a fucking preventable disease.

    Okay brainworm, go intentionally get the measles and let us watch you for the next 6 months so we see how safe it is.

      Unfortunately, he’s almost certainly vaccinated against measles, because his parents were sane people

      he made sure the children of SAMOA got measles, and about 86+ died from it, when he convinced the govt to stop vaccinations.

    Measles is a terrible disease that can easily kill you.

    What was the reason against vaccines again?

    The republican party has some major interest in spreading measles. They may be getting financial kickback from healthcare organizations to ensure more people end up in hospitals, driving up medical debt. Or they’re devils in human form. It’s hard to tell.

      wouldnt it contradict insurance, since they dont want to payout for a patients healthcare, so they would support vaccinations because then they do not actually spend insurance money on someone thats in a hospital. kaiser does this, they are all in on prevention methods over actual services. the ones that would benefit would be pharmceutical charging for thier lifesave drugs.

        They don’t want to payout for patients, so they deny paying for treatments, and they keep taking people’s monthly payments. Kaiser has the lowest percentage of denials, based on an infographic I saw a few months ago. Insurance is a scam, making profits off of people’s poor health, letting them die when costs exceed potential returns. It’s what makes Luigi a hero, doing what none of us could to make life better for the rest of us.

    And that’s why I got all the vaccines. All of em. I treat vaccines like a sticker album or Pokémon cards. Gotta have them all… and the shiny ones are best.
