#antivax — Public Fediverse posts

Čtyřicetiletá žena v americkém státě Pensylvánie zemřela na spalničky, oznámily v neděli úřady. Počet úmrtí spojených s touto vysoce nakažlivou nemocí tak letos ve Spojených státech vzrostl na tři v době, kdy v zemi klesá proočkovanost.

@jik One of my sibs is now as antivax as RFK thanks to #antivax propaganda that got very slick in 2020. The book How Fascism Works talks about how fash propaganda fractures our previously shared reality, which makes it easier for fascists to take & keep power.

In a recent #TWIV episode, the host shared a story from the recent American Society for Virology conference: "SSPE. This is a late sequalae to #measles. It is uniformly fatal. It is rare. But. These kids who had measles, cuz they weren't vaccinated, they get this disease, neurological degeneration and they all die. & when they're sick, the parents call my host, Roberto Cattaneo, and say, 'What can I do? The doctors tell me there's nothing to do. Can we #vaccinate him now?' Parents don't understand. This is rare but you will lose your child if he gets SSPE. So get vaccinated. . . . [The incidence is] 1 in [10,000 but] if the child gets it in the first year of life, the incidence is 1 in 600."

The antivax sentiment in one of the most notorious red states is trying to move forward with disabling and killing its populace, starting with kids.

As professionals who have had to reason and analyze antivax behavior, the comment that always stayed with me is that "People will remain willfully ignorant until it affects them directly".

As Measles Takes Toll on Kids, Anti-Vaxxers Have Change of Heart

For some vaccine-hesitant parents...who’ve been goaded by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., watching an outbreak rip through their state has made the deadly realities of the disease more concrete.

They’re starting to question their own deeply held beliefs and the conspiracy theories that fueled them. And in several measles hotspots, enough of them are quietly changing their minds on the MMR shot that it’s slowing down the outbreaks.

I wish I could say I believe it is a turning point, but our recent history suggests that ignorance will keep outpacing facts unless laws are made and enforced to protect everyone.

Dit soort uitbraken kan je vermijden door degelijke vaccinatie… In BE zit meningokokken intussen gelukkig in de basisvaccinatie. #antivax #kills

#antivax #kills #period

There are a number of panicky Facebook posts, to which I will not link, going around about the "shocking" discovery that #mRNA #vaccines cross the #placental barrier. Which really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but #antivaxers gonna #antivax.

Okay, the discovery is real enough. Here's a direct link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2162253125000435 Click the "View PDF" button at the top, just above the journal title, to read the full article. Note that this is a pre-print version, meaning there may be some typos and such, but nothing that's likely to change the results.

The problem is ... well, there's no problem here! #Maternal #immunity, however acquired, is routinely passed on to #fetuses: we're all born with #immune systems primed to deal with whatever #diseases our mothers have encountered, and that's a *good thing*.

Of course antivaxers who freak out about any occurrence of the abbreviation "mRNA," like the same people often freak out about the word "pronoun" or the "cis-" and "trans-" prefixes, think this is somehow evil.

It's not. It means *fewer dead kids*. These people would literally rather kill their children than learn anything that contradicts their ideology.

countdown to a bunch of kids in idaho dying in a measles epidemic:

"What if instead of a vaccine we were just able to get exposed to a weak version of the virus that enabled us to build the antibodies we need to fight the real thing.” 🤦‍♂️

I'm old enough to remember 10 days ago when Howard Lutnick, the chairman of the Trump transition team and central banker of international crime via #Tether, insisted loudly on CNN that there was absolutely no chance RFK Jr. would be put in charge of America's Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The video evidence:

#Rasmussen has long been criticized for its #polling, which focuses on “likely voters,” & for skewing toward older Americans & providing favorable results to #conservatives. During the #Trump admin, its website became overtly supportive of the #RightWing, w/many of its #polls sponsored by #conservative personalities & causes. On socialmedia, Rasmussen appeared to legitimize many #ConspiracyTheories on the right, such as election fraud & vaccine denialism.

Why are the #AntiVax #AntiMask people not ranting on just as much about the #evils of #antibiotics and #HandWashing ?

Reminder, they are not #antivax or #antimask

They are #proCovid
