  5. What Pediatricians Predict If #Vaccination Rates Continue To Fall. #Measles is the most contagious illness, so it increases first. Then tetanus, pertussis, and, if this trend continues, mumps, rubella, Haemophilus influenzae type b, and hepatitis B.

  7. "Dr. Paul Offit said he’s worried that two measles-related deaths are an unusually high number in a county that reportedly has about 400 cases. The expected death rate for measles is 1 in 1,000 cases.

    "That suggests there are a large number of other unreported infections in the Lancaster County area, said Offit, a Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia vaccine researcher."

  12. @jik One of my sibs is now as antivax as RFK thanks to #antivax propaganda that got very slick in 2020. The book How Fascism Works talks about how fash propaganda fractures our previously shared reality, which makes it easier for fascists to take & keep power.

    In a recent #TWIV episode, the host shared a story from the recent American Society for Virology conference: "SSPE. This is a late sequalae to #measles. It is uniformly fatal. It is rare. But. These kids who had measles, cuz they weren't vaccinated, they get this disease, neurological degeneration and they all die. & when they're sick, the parents call my host, Roberto Cattaneo, and say, 'What can I do? The doctors tell me there's nothing to do. Can we #vaccinate him now?' Parents don't understand. This is rare but you will lose your child if he gets SSPE. So get vaccinated. . . . [The incidence is] 1 in [10,000 but] if the child gets it in the first year of life, the incidence is 1 in 600."
