  1. #US #vaccination rates are plunging. Look up where your #school stands.
    Rocked by pandemic politics, the nation’s shield against infectious disease is shrinking.
    Before the pandemic, roughly half of counties had #kindergarten #vaccinationrates high enough to prevent #measles #outbreaks.
    After, many lost ground, leaving only about a quarter of the counties with #herdimmunity in kindergartners.

  6. @overholt This is an excellent reminder, thankyou!

    Somehow I assumed some vaccines need a booster every 10 or so years and other vaccines last for your entire lifetime. But, occasionally the protection they offer can wane over time. Imagine my surprise when a friend (who received the usual suite of vaccines as a young kid) was recently tested for immunity, and the result indicated they have little or no defence against measles. Naturally, they got a fresh vaccine immediately.

    There's a disturbing amount of science-denial and anti-vax nonsense going around. Predictably, this is leading to a sharp rise in highly-infectious communicable diseases going around in the community. I can only encourage people to ask their doctor about getting tested, protect themselves, and to do your part to boost herd immunity because it's an easy way to be being caring and protective of other people.

  11. #MartinKulldorff formerly taught at Harvard’s medical school until he was fired in 2024 for what he claimed was his refusal to receive the #COVID-19 vaccine. He was also an author of the “Great Barrington Declaration,” which called for promoting #HerdImmunity early on in the pandemic by allowing the #virus to spread unmitigated.

  18. “Not Just #Measles”: #WhoopingCough Cases Are Soaring as #Vaccine Rates Decline
    Measles #Vaccination Rates in Most States Were Below #HerdImmunity in #2023
    Over 36 states have drop in rates for at least one key vaccine from 2013-14 to 2023-24 school years. And half of states have seen an across-board decline in all four vaccination rates. #Wisconsin, #Utah and #Alaska have experienced most precipitous drops during that time, with declines of more than 10% in some cases.

  23. This is a tragedy, and I feel with the family. There is nothing personal in this post. I do not know the individuals or the exact circumstances.

    Nevertheless, a child dies unnecessarily from #measles in #Liverpool. This is a disease that we most probably could eradicate by #vaccination. However, we are moving backwards into darker times. More and more people refuse #vaccines that make our lives safer (personally and as a society). Parents put their children's lives and the lives of immunocompromised individuals, who depend on #HerdImmunity, unnecessarily at risk.

  36. Also in the same video: #RFKJr says he will "announce the CAUSE OF #AUTISM in September." 😞

    He is telling his staff it's "the #DeepState" that is withholding info about cures to deadly diseases.

    And the way to cure #Measles is for everyone to get it (more #HerdImmunity bull$#!+.) Just look at how well "Herd Immunity" worked to end The Black Plague in the 1400's. #TooStupidForOffice (link above.)
