I have no words for how evil the #TrumpAdministration response to the Pennsylvania #measles deaths is. https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/6056162-trump-officials-question-pennsylvania-measles/

🧵 1/6:
Measles is very good at spreading, among he best we know of at spreading. We know it's been doing so since at least the 9th Century when it was first recognized.

🧵 3/4:
No one needs to fake the damage measles has spent millennia inflicting on people, all you need to do to have it all come rushing back is have people opt not to vaccinate and this enemy of humanity will hurt, cripple and kill as it always has without vaccines to slow and stop it.All you have to do to witness the horrors and losses of old is listen to the lawyer RFK Jr., take his lies for truth, and the demand for small coffins will rise all by itself.

🧵 2/4:
In the late 1960s, it was refined (fewer side effects), then in the early 1970s combined into the MMR. In 2005, varicella was added, making the MMRV. Four things that hurt and killed tens of millions, stopped in their tracks by a sequence of 2 shots in millions of arms. -

Measles is very good at spreading, among the best we know of at spreading. We know it's been doing so since at least the 9th Century when it was first recognized. So this virus has had 1,000 years or more to ravage humanity, to hurt and kill so many: approximately 30 million cases and over 2 million dead a year.Then, in the late 1950s, a vaccine was developed that by 1961 was seen as effective. It was licensed for public use by 1963.

you cannot give a newborn the #measles #vaccine. that’s why you need everybody caring for that newborn vaccinated. -
After 2 #measles deaths in Pennsylvania, "Kennedy’s recent social media remarks continue a pattern that’s been evident since he took on his role in the Trump administration: downplay the severity of measles, dispute his role in spreading misinformation about #vaccines, and attempt to focus attention elsewhere." https://www.statnews.com/2026/08/26/kennedy-vaccine-comments-reaction-josh-shapiro-jerome-adams/

#HHS RFK Jr. experimented on the inhabitants of Samoa and 83 people died of #measles. and lied about it. I wonder how many suffered permanent injury from elevated fever? #vaccines

#RFKJr, then a prominent #AntiVax activist, preceded the visit with a letter to the Samoan prime minister requesting to study the Pacific island nation’s #measles, #mumps & #rubella [ #MMR ] #vaccines after the deaths of 2 children who had received them. In the letter, he used the words vaccine or vaccination 8 times.

Exclusive∶ #RFKJr said a Samoa trip had nothing to do with #vaccines. New documents refute that.
“Health” Secy RFKJr repeatedly told lawmakers who held the key to his confirmation last year that a 2019 visit to Samoa before a deadly #measles outbreak had “nothing to do with vaccines.” New documents obtained by The AP & The Guardian refute that testimony.

EDITORIAL: Treacherous anti-vax bilge in Colorado, everywhere endangers all our future
In Colorado, it’s still easy to say that you don’t want to vaccinate and cumbersome to prove that your child has their shots.

#Measles, the RFK JR variant, kills two in PA.

@luckytran Seniors and near-seniors! Probably vaccinated as children or you had measles? Your vaccines’ protection may have diminished. Are you still protected? Ask for a measles antibody test. If it’s negative or equivocal, get the MMR. Don’t let ignorant parents kill you off with infectious children. (tRump et al is counting on some of that in their culling calculations) #measles #InfectiousKids #MeaslesKillsSeniors

it's also important to address the maiming
people talk about mortality rates, but then there's a whole other group of children that become permanently debilitated
a big example with #measles:
permanent hearing loss
and children often develop measles around the same age as speech acquisition, so it harms their intellectual and social development as well
children harmed because their parents are pridefully ignorant
#vaccinate your damn kids!

@luckytran
If a child is killed b/c their parent(s) left them alone with no supervision, they can go to prison b/c we all understand that a small child needs a responsible adult looking out for them.I consider a child dying of a preventable disease like The #Measles or #Covid b/c their parent is any antivax idiot, to be no different. 🤬
