#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.

#Hancock is talking about how he and Helen Whately discovered Operation Pegasus in Feb 2020 and #HerdImmunity at the ##CovidInquiry
Of course, he knew better than anyone else 🙄
"We decided to make a national recommendation to care homes"
11 April 2020: A leaked letter from the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (Adass) to the Department of Health and Social Care notes the handling of PPE for care workers has been “shambolic”, with delivery of equipment “paltry” and “haphazard

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.”

“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.”

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

#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."

CW: Covid, podcasts, eugenics, capitalism
I love that the #podcast #LastBornInTheWilderness continues to connect the dots between #Covid19, #EcologicalCollapse, #capitalism and #Eugenics. 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.
