Vaccinate your children, it's an act of love for all children

#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.

@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.

“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.

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.

World may be ‘post-#herdimmunity’ to #measles, top #US #scientist says
As infections pummel communities in the US, Mexico and Canada, fear of ‘the most contagious human #disease’ grows
Risk of measles is considered high in the #Americas, and has grown 11-fold compared with 2024.
“Measles – because it is the most #contagious of the #vaccine-preventable #diseases, the most contagious human disease really – it is the first to come back.”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/03/measles-post-herd-immunity -
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.)

“Is vaccine-induced immunity better than immunity from infection?
Vaccine-induced immunity is better because it’s safer. When you get infected with COVID, symptoms from the infection wreak havoc on your body. Whether or not you’ve been infected or vaccinated previously, the COVID booster is going to strengthen your immune responses to high levels and do so in a safe way.
Can I still get COVID if I’m vaccinated?
People who are vaccinated can still get COVID, but it is much more likely they will experience mild symptoms. Vaccinated people are much less likely to experience severe illness or get so sick that they need to be hospitalized. Data continue to show that those who are hospitalized with COVID are largely people who have not received a COVID vaccine within the past 12 months.
Particularly for people at higher risk of severe COVID, vaccination is an essential tool for reducing COVID complications, hospitalization, and death.
Can you get the flu shot and the COVID vaccine at the same time?
Yes! In fact, studies have shown that people who decide to spread out their vaccines into separate appointments often don’t follow through with getting both. We’ve also seen that the immune response generated by each vaccine does not change based on whether they are administered at the same time or separately.
It’s important to remember that many of the same populations at high risk of experiencing severe illness from COVID are also at high risk of severe influenza. Especially for these vulnerable populations, it’s a good idea to time your vaccines together.”

This latest episode, an interview with frontline #pandemic physician Jonathan Howard, MD, about his new book, exposes the myth of #covid #HerdImmunity and the ways that the bad faith arguments of the #GreatBarringtonDeclaration are not only allowing SARS-Cov-2 to continue to spread but propping up dangerous anti-vaxx figures like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, and weakening #PublicHealth even further.

@RadoslawMerkx @murshedz
The death rate in #Sweeden was quadruple the rate of Norway next door before they finally conceded (moronic) "#HerdImmunity" wasn't working and started #vaccinating everyone against #Covid.Idiots like #ElonMusk who think Sweeden's #antivax policy was some sort of huge success only proves you don't have to be smart to be successful. Just (already) rich. (Musk will be bankrupt inside of a decade if he doesn't resign from running his own companies.)

Rumble — CELEB EXPOSES FAUCI’S MISINFORMATION
Mexican actor and director, Eugenio Derbez, took part in an Instagram Live Q&A with Anthony Fauci this week and asked many hard hitting questions about the #Covid19 vaccine. Jefferey and Del pick apart the tidal wave of misinformation Fauci unleashed, from the experimental shot’s FDA approval and injury liability, to herd immunity and new variants.

#Covid 19 Inquiry latest:
Chris Whitty told ministers: Stop discussing herd immunity – you don’t understand it
England’s chief medical officer Chris Whitty also revealed his contempt for the so-called Great Barrington Declaration.

"#HerdImmunity was never [UK] government #policy during #COVID19 and it was a major #CommunicationsFailure that some people early in the #pandemic believed it was, Prof Sir #ChrisWhitty told the #CovidInquiry."
It wasn't policy, but uncontrolled infection & death was an outcome, especially for older people.
Or, as Whitty says, "It was clearly a ridiculous goal of policy, and a dangerous one, and lots of what was said could have led to considerable #confusion, and did."

Measles is highly contagious, but vaccine-preventable: A primer on recent outbreaks, transmission, symptoms and complications, including ‘immune amnesia’

https://the-14.com/measles-is-highly-contagious-but-vaccine-preventable-a-primer-on-recent-outbreaks-transmission-symptoms-and-complications-including-immune-amnesia/ -
Remember #HerdImmunity Remember the #R0 number? We talked about these during the COVID pandemic. #measles is really infectious, R0=12-18 meaning one infected person can infect 12-18 people. To contain infections in the population 95% need to be vaccinated to get herd immunity. See picture on how herd immunity works. Even a small decrease in measles vaccinations will revert herd immunity. That is what is happening in the US.

2/ First #measles case in #Florida. 10 states now in just two weeks.
This is a serious outbreak. If immunization rates are not high enough for #herdImmunity (which is a number no one actually knows… but we’re going to have a much better idea in about 2-3 months!) then measles is so infectious - it’s literally the most infectious disease known to mankind - that it will pretty much inevitably infect everyone who is not immune either from vaccination or childhood infection, up until we get back to herd immunity.
Which includes babies under 1 year of age who can't be vaccinated yet but are at higher risk for complications. #winning

T**** has a named an #antivaxer "#HerdImmunity" advocate to run the NIH. 🤦♂️
"HERD IMMUNITY" refers to "enough immune people existing to prevent the spread of a disease." If catching a disease does not give you immunity, PEOPLE MUST BE VACCINATED FOR IT TO WORK!
I CAUGHT #COVID TWICE. Catching it the 1st time didn't give me immunity. 🙄
The very idea that the person leading the NIH might not understand this is horrifying. 😱 #WeAreSoScrewed #DisasterPresidency

CW: good rant about attempts to rewrite 2020
"Dr. Atlas was one of several Stanford doctors (Dr. John Ioannidis, Drs. Eran Bendavid and Jay Bhattacharya) who predicted that COVID’s 2020 death toll would be 10,000-40,000 people and that the mass infection of unvaccinated youth would lead to herd immunity. Like Dr. Atlas, these doctors - none of whom treated COVID patients - now insist they were basically right about everything."

Well at least I finally found the herd immunity.
Alas, ironically and sadly, it was found amongst the Republican appointees to the Supreme Court of the United States, following, like a flock of sheep, their right-wing masters' orders to give legal immunity to the President.

You don't have to debate the Great Barrington declaration because it wasn't a bona fide strategy.
It was signed at the AIER grounds with video'd documentary at launch, and money behind it. It was to reopen business.
& on the merits, simply, there's no herd immunity to coronas.

Puts paid to the #NaturalImmunity / #HerdImmunity crass thinking!
“No significant differences of clinical pattern were observed between primary infection and reinfection. No significant differences in the severity of infection were observed between primary infection and reinfection. … Reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 suggests that natural immunity is not long-lasting in COVID-19 patients.”
