    DJT and RFK should visit the stricken area and skae a bunch of hands to show their support. They definitely shouldn’t get a vaccine booster before they go.

    If I was religious, I probably wouldn’t be too far from thinking that a biblical plague hitting the country every time The Führer was elected was some kind of sign…

            Well… it would seem those same godless commies weren’t ACTUALLY communists. So now we don’t know WHAT to think! Fortunately, there seems to be a real lack of thinking in our “under God” nation anyhow… so, we got that!

              It’s almost like the vast majority of the country has been mushroom managed (kept in the dark and fed shit) since it’s inception.

              There’s a good reason the dept of education has been assailed by all comers since forever. Privatisation and politicisation of the education of the people; make good, stupid little drones for the corporate machine, either in a cubicle or on a battlefield.

              Those that refuse to conform, or are politically “undesirable” are run through the prison slavery pipeline instead.

              I sound like a conspiracy theory nutter, but this timeline is so utterly fucked, that it’s the truth. How batshit mental is that?

      While this is true, not vaccinating is something more often found in conservative populations. And this problem is 100% caused by people who refused the vaccination that could have saved them.

        To be fair, you’ll find anti-vax far left as well. Think hippies and new age types.

            I was living in a rural area, many left and right, and honestly both sides have similar amounts of conspiracy theories including anti-vax. I assumed it was mostly right sided until I ran into many examples myself.

          It can go up to 3-10% for developing country conditions.

          So, Texas.

            Pfft. NLM what do they now. But of doctors and scientists with their life long plan to cause measles. My musk feed says this is all fake news and vaccines cause the gays.

            /s just in case

            I just had a heartless thought that I sort of have mixed emotions about.

            If the warranty on my car can be cancelled because I never do preventative maintenance, why does my insurance premium keep going up to defray the cost of people who won’t engage in preventative medicine?

      I can’t wait to hear what the guidance will be on this, likely some form of victim-blaming MAGArs for not being anti-vax enough and eventually devolving into a witchhunt for “fake conservatives” that still drink pasteurized milk 😂

          Holy crap. I used to use Methylene Blue in my fish tanks as an anti fungal. Of course this brain worm is drinking it.

    Oh, good. Three hours in crowded tourist attractions on a Saturday afternoon, and six hours in bars and restaurants on Friday and Saturday nights. Plus eight hours touring campuses just a couple weeks before spring “super-spreader” break - with a disease who’s characteristic rash turns up around Day 14. This can only end well …

    Here’s the thing with these anti-vaxx morons. Even if they contract measles and survive it (it can be dangerous in adults), you can sure as shit bet that they will not get the shingles vaccine once they hit 50. Shingles will fuck you up if you let it.

      Not good.

      I don’t care about the idiot parents, but the kids have no choice, a lot will suffer and some will die. All because their parents have believed a bunch of lies, no critical thinking was involved.
