#immunisation — Public Fediverse posts

@jaykuo

Allow me to interpret.
I speak fluent Fuckead language.
On the account of my frequent interaction with fuckheads. So I have developed a basic skill at interpreting the absence of cognition that shapes their instinctive responses that some may mistake for reasoning, since they animate human shaped meatbots they Occupy.

Back in the 1960s, humans developed a means of mass #immunisation to counter the diseases ravaging through countries with poorer medical health care, like the US and other third world, backwards nations.

The means to do this was a jet-gun where you could inject up to 500 doses.
(That's all the toes and fingers on 25 folks).
That's the largest bottle and it is true, it is the size of a very small soda bottle, perhaps half the size of one of those complimentary drink bottles on a plane, definitely much larger than the penis of the US president (according to a sworn testimony of a court witness).

But that is for MANY not ONE peepl.

One military term for this is "a buggers muddle" which I suppose may be getting a bit old-fashioned. #shambles seems appropriate.

PSA: #vaccination derives from the original #Cowpox , a live virus as systematised by #Jenner fairly long ago and not very far away from here. It has probably extended to other live viruses. All vaccInations are immunisations, but not all immunisations are vaccinations. mRNA sort of edges into the gap.

Vaccines teach our immune system to recognise and fight specific germs—no infection needed. 🌱

- They’re rigorously tested for safety.
- Different formats exist (live‑attenuated, mRNA, protein subunit, etc.).
- Widespread immunisation cuts disease spread, protects the vulnerable, and eases strain on health systems.

Kent’s #meningitis outbreak was years in the making – here’s why

The #students caught up in it belong to a generation that has never been routinely #vaccinated against the strain responsible.

That is not because a #vaccine doesn’t exist. It does. Bexsero, which protects against #meningococcal group B #disease has been available since 2013

The #UK even became the first country in the world to add it to its national #immunisation schedule, in September 2015.

But only for babies ...

There's reporting, not necessarily absolutely complete; and there may be judgement on the Individual patient, but in the history of, well, history, two people have survived #Rabies with treatment after symptoms begin.
AIRI the first was a woman in #Milwaukee with very prolonged ventilation etc,moving rise to the Milwaukee #Protocol .
I don't know the second, and I believe patients have died despite efforts to apply that protocol.

Here in #Canberra, a city of nearly 490,000, we’ve had ONE confirmed case of #measles. The #health department issued a press release and everything, in case patient zero inadvertently infected others.

When I was a kid, measles was a common childhood hazard. Everyone knew someone who caught it. Now, even a single case is unusual enough to warrant a press release.

#Immunisation works. We are KILLING it, folks.

Vax info: “only 13.4 per cent of Australians over 75 have had a booster in the last six months…
“Professor Collignon …stressed that vaccine protection is short-lived.
"A booster only gives strong protection for about six months," he said.
Current advice from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI), (February 2026): Australians aged 75+ are advised to receive a COVID-19 booster every six months; those aged 65 to 74 are recommended to get one every 12 months, but are eligible every six months if they choose.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell
Yes, I thought the same, if you want to know the likely damage from unchecked measles (mortality, morbidity/ death, sickness, add disability - eg deafness): just ask #publicHealth experts, epidemiologists & biostatisticians. It’s not like the world is lacking in relevant experts & knowledge. Perhaps if the US invested a little more time & effort in the World Health Organisation* they wouldn’t ask such dumb questions or show ignorance so proudly. 🤔 This person is one sick puppy. ☹️

*WHO - which the US has now left without paying the $260m it owes - a typical Thump manoeuvre to not pay your bills.

20% of children in Gaza missing essential vaccines: UNRWA

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (#UNRWA) has announced an upcoming immunisation campaign for children in Gaza, one out of five of whom it says lack essential vaccines.

The campaign, aiming to reach 44,000 children, will also offer malnutrition screening.

Bit of a surprise this weekend. Hunted up my childhood #immunisation records, and it turns out I only had one dose of MMR. So... add "get booster" before #measles gets me" to my list of things to do. You know... in all of my spare time.

Europe must confront soaring chronic disease rates, warns the WHO.

Europeans face “lifelong health crises” as the region grapples with a growing mental health crisis among young people, stagnating immunisation coverage and high rates of chronic diseases such as obesity and heart disease, according to a World Health Organization report published Tuesday.

Professor Lawler said he is concerned of low #immunisation rates leading to widespread harm and death, particularly in the wake of a recent surge in cases of #whoopingcough, #measles, respiratory syncytial virus (#RSV) and #meningococcal disease.

‘If we continue to see rising #vaccinehesitancy and dropping vaccination rates, we will see real harm coming to Australian children and communities,’ he said.

‘And when I say real harm, I’m including deaths in that.’ (2/3)
