  1. @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."

  2. The CDC is finally asking people to #WearAMask again.

    The big question is whether anyone will listen because the misinformation runs strong.

    #MasksWork when they're quality materials and well fitted.

    There is no immunity debt. The #ImmuneDysfunction is caused by #SARSCoV2 directly impacting our immune system.

    Don't get infected (again). Protect yourself with an #N95, #KN95, or #KF94. #StayHomeWhenSick. #Ventilate and #filtrate air. #Vaccinate #GetBoosted
