I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday. It's pretty common practice since COVID that they ask you to fill out a little screening form ahead of time showing you've not been exposed to COVID or have symptoms. No problem easy enough to do that however, now they've added a screening for measles! Thank you aunti-vax assholes! #MeaselsOutbreak #antivaxassholes

@Sheril careful, the numbers given in the screenshot might be misleading.

If current CDC data are still trustworthy, there seems to be some kind of seasonal pattern in measels cases[1].

Measels cases seem to increase over time, but that seems to start in the early 2000s. Maybe vaxx-reluctance started to kick in then ... maybe because there hasn't been many outbreaks in the 90ies.

but still: the current admin is a problem.

#Maga’s era of ‘soft eugenics’: let the weak get sick, help the clever breed

I don't like the term soft eugenics as it trivializes what the US #fascists are doing to us all with their sick, inhuman, #racist ways of thinking, but #TheGuardian article does a good job of highlighting Kennedy's absurd mindset.

#MeaselsOutbreak #TraitorTrumpcut Kennedy encouraged treating measles with a steroid, an antibiotic and cod liver oil, a supplement high in vitamin A. CNN reported that several hospitalized children in Lubbock, Texas, had abnormal liver function, a likely sign of toxicity from too much vitamin A.

RFK Jr.’s focus on vitamin A for measles worries health experts. Before the measles vaccine, nearly every child in the United States contracted the infection, and that there was an average of one death for every 1,205 cases from 1953 to 1962. #RFKjrAntiScience #MeaselsOutbreak #MAGADeathCult
