  18. @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."

  19. An #IntensiveCare doc looks at the #Trump order on #vaccines:
    "If the schedule is changed, the costs will be measured over time. Today in the form of more sick kids with #measles. Two decades out in the form of meningococcal #meningitis in a college freshman who wasn't 'high-risk' until the dorm outbreak. Three decades out in the form of congenital #rubella in the pregnancy of a woman whose split MMR doses were started but never finished. Forty years out in the child born in 2027 who never received the hepatitis B birth dose and reaches my #ICU around 2066 with a failing liver tied to a chronic infection acquired at birth."
