I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday. It's pretty common practice since COVID that they ask you to fill out a little screening form ahead of time showing you've not been exposed to COVID or have symptoms. No problem easy enough to do that however, now they've added a screening for measles! Thank you aunti-vax assholes! #MeaselsOutbreak #antivaxassholes

@Sheril careful, the numbers given in the screenshot might be misleading.

If current CDC data are still trustworthy, there seems to be some kind of seasonal pattern in measels cases[1].

Measels cases seem to increase over time, but that seems to start in the early 2000s. Maybe vaxx-reluctance started to kick in then ... maybe because there hasn't been many outbreaks in the 90ies.

but still: the current admin is a problem.

#Maga’s era of ‘soft eugenics’: let the weak get sick, help the clever breed

I don't like the term soft eugenics as it trivializes what the US #fascists are doing to us all with their sick, inhuman, #racist ways of thinking, but #TheGuardian article does a good job of highlighting Kennedy's absurd mindset.

Maga’s era of ‘soft eugenics’: let the weak get sick, help the clever breed

At the heart of all Trump administration policies is ‘soft eugenics’ thinking – the idea that if you take away life-saving services, then only the strong will survive

The Guardian

“Health officials said Monday they confirmed the case in an unvaccinated Denver County infant resident. They recently traveled with family to an area of Chihuahua, Mexico, which is experiencing a measles outbreak.” 😕

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
#MeaselsOutbreak #TraitorTrumpcut Kennedy encouraged treating measles with a steroid, an antibiotic and cod liver oil, a supplement high in vitamin A. CNN reported that several hospitalized children in Lubbock, Texas, had abnormal liver function, a likely sign of toxicity from too much vitamin A.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations

The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.
