    As Measles Takes Toll on Kids, Anti-Vaxxers Have Change of Heart

    For some vaccine-hesitant parents...who’ve been goaded by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., watching an outbreak rip through their state has made the deadly realities of the disease more concrete.

    They’re starting to question their own deeply held beliefs and the conspiracy theories that fueled them. And in several measles hotspots, enough of them are quietly changing their minds on the MMR shot that it’s slowing down the outbreaks.

    I wish I could say I believe it is a turning point, but our recent history suggests that ignorance will keep outpacing facts unless laws are made and enforced to protect everyone.

  20. #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."

  21. 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.
