  1. Thanks, #RFKjr - Pennsylvania says an unvaccinated woman has died from measles-related complications - Conservative #republicans have dismissed vaccination as an unnecessary government intrusion on personal rights so we’re now suffering the inevitable consequences. npr.org/2026/09/13/nx-s1-59680 #FAFO #OhNoConsequences #measles #HHS #vaccines

  2. A 40-year-old woman has died from measles complications in Pennsylvania, marking the state’s third measles-associated death this year as the US experiences its worst resurgence of the highly contagious disease in 35 years.

  3. An unvaccinated woman in Jefferson County, PA (west-central PA; includes Punxsutawney of groundhog day fame) died Sept 12th of complications of what so far looks like #measles, including rash and fever. Definitive test results should be back in a few days.

  4. Another Pennsylvania #measles death, this time in an unvaccinated 40 year old woman.

    3 deaths with less than 700 confirmed cases suggests this outbreak is much larger than reported (no surprise).

  10. Unvaccinated Valencia County child tests positive for measles, marking 19th New Mexico case in 2026

  11. Lucas Waldron and Patricia Callahan take a long, sobering look at what may well happen down the road if RFKJr gets his way with vaccines and vaccine makers stop making vaccines readily available for the American market. Their modeling of a possible trajectory looks at polio, measles, rubella, and diphtheria.

  12. A worst-case scenario in a country without #vaccines

    The Horrors That Could Lie Ahead if Vaccines Vanish
    Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for #polio, #measles, #rubella or #diphtheria were no longer available.
    When immunization rates drop plagues from the past can come roaring back, as measles has in American communities where parents decided not to vaccinate their children.

  13. CW: virus precaution geekery

    @rattletat

    Yes, good air quality will quash ongoing transmission "on average" over time.

    Fresh air also has a significant up side for clarity of thinking. People only tend to complain about opening windows if the weather's cold: chills and heating bills!

    Filters likewise are mostly up side except for the cost.

    But the "on average, good air quality quashes ongoing transmission" can still include infections in the meantime - esp downwind of an infectious person.

    LFT tests... they're not pointless, because they'll find some of the most-infectious people, but they aren't reliable. Lots of false negatives at middling viral loads.

    Even a negative NAAT result only means "negative now and likely for some hours", not necessarily "still negative tomorrow".

    Testing on arrival is a logistical challenge. It's slow (e.g. Pluslife ~30 mins, LFT ~15), so you've got people waiting around whose status is unknown.

    People testing beforehand: most don't have access to NAAT. And it relies on trust, which is not necessarily wise when so many people don't genuinely believe it's important.

    Also, each test is for one or more specific illnesses: e.g. a covid test won't catch someone coming in with flu or measles.

    There's a reason why people do still mask even though the other things exist.

  14. The #Flu #Measles and (soon #Covid-19 ) are coming back with a vengeance.
    We are looking at the next #Pandemic and #RFK #HHS #CDC and the #FDA are woefully #Unqualified #Incompetence and practicing #MedievalMedicine

  15. All the hard work and progress in public health in the last century is being wiped out by these stupid anti-vaxxers! They haven't seen the havoc and suffering brought on by such highly communicable deadly diseases, for which we have readily available prevention. The harm being done by these brain-dead antisocial elements is criminal.

  16. "Modeling Reemergence of Vaccine-Eliminated Infectious Diseases Under Declining Vaccination in the US"

    jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/

    "At current state-level vaccination rates, measles may become endemic again; increasing vaccine coverage would prevent this. Under a 50% decline in childhood vaccination in the US, the simulation model predicted 51.2 million #measles cases over a 25-year period, 9.9 million #rubella cases, 4.3 million #poliomyelitis cases, 197 #diphtheria cases, 10.3 million hospitalizations, and 159,200 deaths."

    Note that the graphic is labeled "25% decline in childhood vaccination" not 50%. I think this is because the authors wanted an "average" of their models for the graphic. Bottom line: It's bad at 25% and can only get worse! Also note that the #measles numbers are much larger because it is so much more contagious!

    People... this would be an *appalling* outcome of the current anti-vax, anti-science, anti-child confusion and policies of the current #Trump administration!
