"Measles is spreading because fewer people are getting vaccinated."

I couldn’t believe this. In the 21st century, measles is apparently on the rise in America through a lack of vaccination possibly due to anti-vaccine rhetoric. If this is true and gets worse, Trump and Robert F Kennedy Jr. should be locked up. Kids will die through Trump’s incompetency.
Is US politics fuelling a deadly measles outbreak?
Does uneven vaccination coverage really decrease disease control? This study uses fine-grained data of 20 years of dog #vaccination in Tanzania to show that reducing coverage gaps does indeed lower #rabies incidence; connectivity drives transmission @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4k4GL4G
“This number that we have now is almost certainly an undercount, & one that — when the season is declared over, & they compile all the data — it’s almost certain to go up,” said Dr. Sean O’Leary of the AAP.
There are likely several contributors to this season’s severity, but a big one is that fewer #children get #flu shots, added O’Leary, a U of CO #pediatric #infectious #diseases specialist.
The flu #vaccination rate for US children has plummeted from about 64% 5 yrs ago to 49% this season.
U.S. #flu deaths in #children highest in 15 years as #vaccination rate drops. This is what #RFKJr will bring us more of. https://www.adn.com/nation-world/2025/05/02/cdc-reports-216-child-deaths-in-us-this-flu-season-the-most-in-15-years/
Is there no beginning to this man's competence for this role?
The US returning to the medical outcomes of the 19th Century will be a tragedy.
The US becoming the Typhoid Mary of the world will be an outrage.

My partner, @youngavenger told me our PCP suggested an MMR booster for him. I’m only a few months younger than him, so if our doctor is pushing #MMR and it’s been since 1982 since my second booster, that was (gulp) 43 years ago. So I’ve got mine scheduled for tomorrow at 6:30p. I am not going to screw around with it. A doctor even mutters something I could get vaccinated with, I’m there with frikken bells on. Yeah. Arm. Hit it. Hard. Again. More. :) #vaccination #health
If we stop vaccinating our children, more children will become seriously ill and more children will die. #vaccination #vaccine #vaccines #VaccinesWork
Le scénario du pire des 25 prochaines années, avec la #rougeole? Des millions de cas aux États-Unis, si la tendance à une diminution des taux de #vaccination se maintient, et une maladie qui recommence à circuler en continu.

Daughter, 15, is writing a biology test at school tomorrow and has just summarised the content for us at the kitchen table. The topics are DNA, cell division, chromosomes, the immune system and immunisation. The teacher (who comes from Iran and is a biologist who has only recently become a teacher in Berlin) did a really good job, and she was able to explain it well. Why can a 15-year-old understand this and many adults nowadays refuse to?
My Body, My Choice?
Well, yes, of course, but consider this: without a 5% increase in measles vaccine uptake, measles could once again become endemic in the U.S., while a 10% decline in vaccination rates could result in over 11 million measles cases and over 150,000 deaths per year.
And this is not just among the knuckleheads who choose not to vaccinate themselves and their children. Low vaccination rates eliminate the herd immunity that protects vulnerable people with impaired immunity like seniors, people with immunological illnesses, people with cancer, and all infants under the age of 12 months, as well as the 3% of healthy vaccinated individuals that the vaccine fails to protect.
My heart breaks for those poor, poor kids!

"Last week, Gildebrand said he met with Kennedy, who insisted, “‘You don’t know what’s in the vaccine anymore,‘” Hildebrand told Yahoo! News just hours after the girl’s funeral. “I actually asked him about it.”
“He never said anything about the vaccine being helpful,” Hildebrand added."
Feverʼs pretty much gone. Inanahi was pretty miserable. Still, better than getting the plague. #COVID19 #JN1 #vaccination
