"Over coffee at a Starbucks just outside Austin, Texas, Del Bigtree told me he wants his teenage son to catch polio. Measles, too. He’s considered driving his unvaccinated family to South Carolina, which is in the midst of a historic outbreak, so that they can all be exposed. He prefers pertussis—whooping cough—to the pertussis vaccine, which he later described to me as a 'crime against children'.”

Today's quote: "The role of the infinitely small in nature is infinitely great" Louis Pasteur

"YEAR ONE MAHA:
1. Measles returns to America
2. Pertussis returns to America
3. Chronic hepatitis liver cancer returns
4. Pandemic preparedness gone
5. Swung & missed on autism
6. CDC disassembled
7. Biotech industry shutting down
8. Brain drain underway"

Reposting this as the US breaks 2,000 measles cases for 2025, the highest recorded domestically since 1992. On the accelerating crisis of #vaccine preventable disease, the significance of the drop in #vaccination rates, and how this relates to differing responses across the US. This week, an entire school district in Iowa closed to stop a #measles #outbreak, while hundreds are in quarantine in South Carolina.
