    Reports: RFK Jr. ordered measles deaths deletion; CDC still secretly counts them

    CDC staff had already accepted the measles death reports when RFK Jr. meddled.

    Saúde nos EUA:
    - surto recorde de parasita causador de diarreia
    - recall de 20 milhões de ovos com salmonela
    - pior qualidade do ar do mundo devido a incêndios florestais
    - ONU alerta para risco de ressurgimento do HIV no mundo devido a cortes de verbas
    - maior número de casos de sarampo em 35 anos

    Sem mencionar que o país não tem saúde pública gratuita.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. #Immigrant Family Files a Lawsuit Claiming Their Toddler Was Returned to an #ICE Jail Amid a #Measles Outbreak

    #DemocracyNow, Feb 11, 2026

    "In more immigration news, an immigrant family filed a lawsuit earlier this month, saying their 18-month-old toddler was returned to the #ICEJail in #Dilley, #Texas, amid a measles outbreak and denied medication after she was hospitalized with a life-threatening respiratory illness. The girl is identified as 'Amalia' in the lawsuit. The girl and her two parents have since been released from ICE custody."

  7. 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.

  8. There's an omnibus autobiography of Roald Dahl on BBC Sounds Radio 4 Extra at the moment.
    Have a listen, it's more interesting / fascinating than you might think.

    It is,also a reminder of how deadly measles was before vaccination ( and still can be if you ignore science).

  9. ACTION ALERT 📣 BC is falling behind in protecting patients, healthcare workers, and our healthcare system. As we enter fall and winter, Newfoundland, Labrador, PEI, and major Quebec and Ontario hospitals have already restored mask requirements in medical settings – yet so far, BC has failed to take action.

    Instead of masks in healthcare, BC has:
    🏥 increasing hospital & ER closures (over 250 so far this year)
    🚨 expert warnings about the possibility of the "worst kind of flu season”, due to a mismatch between the current vaccine and an emerging dominant strain
    🦠 a global surge of COVID-19
    🐓 a rise in avian influenza outbreaks
    ☣️ increased measles exposures in BC, coupled with the loss of Canada’s measles elimination status 😭😭😭

    It’s past time for action. Head to donoharmbc.ca/masks-in-healthc to join our renewed calls for BC to restore healthcare mask protections ASAP - and to improve them by closing loopholes and making respirators (like N95 masks) the default choice 😷

  10. #Measles outbreak in #Alberta far exceeds it's past provincial peak in 1986, that of #Texas currently and even entire #USA known caseload. Once considered "eradicated" , this highly transmissible contagious #disease has hit hard this year in #Canada, with noted 1000+ case upticks as well in #Ontario. Young #children and elderly highly susceptible to rash and side effects including lung & ear infections, #hepatitis, #Encephalitis and other lifelong neurological compilations.

    #Vaccination rates are lower in Alberta than Canada as a whole by dbl digits, with more than 50% of children in rural areas of Southern Alberta, the heart of this outbreak,not having standard vaccination shots. So-called "vaccine-hesitancy" is generally more common in relatively less populated rural areas that attract political ideologues and those historically isolating and living under strict religious beliefs.Many of the most virulent cases of measles have been linked to Mennonites and Hutterites who live in colonies, and are oft prone to believe it is God’s will that determine the #health status of offspring.

  19. "While underlying medical conditions certainly affect people’s health, Mole notes that 'the evidence against terrain theory is obvious and all around us.' But if you think germs are less important than overall health, things like the pasteurization of milk to kill E. coli, salmonella, and Listeria bacteria—which Kennedy opposes—are unnecessary."

  20. "This would explain Kennedy’s assertion—refuted by doctors—that the children who died of measles were malnourished. As medical blogger Kristen Panthagani, MD/PhD, explains: Kennedy’s way of thinking is 'the belief that infections don't pose a risk to healthy people who have optimized their immune system.'”

  21. "While Kennedy appears to believe germs exist, he also claims to believe in the older theory of disease called 'miasma theory,' although as [Beth] Mole points out, he misunderstands that theory—the idea that diseases are caused by poisonous vapors—and really appears to believe in another old idea: 'terrain theory.' Terrain theory maintains that diseases are signs that the internal 'terrain' of the body is out of whack."

  22. "In 2025, the top health official in the United States, a man without degrees in either medicine or public health, appears to be rejecting germ theory and reshaping the nation’s medical system around his own dedication to a theory that was outdated well over a century ago."

  24. "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!
