How disgusting and borderline abusive that many parents are deciding to put their children and us at risk by not allowing their babies to get prudent vaccines and medicine to help them live. This notion of 'natural' vs intervention is ludicrous. Nature allows 1 in 5 infants to die in the first year. The greater good dictates that intervention is demanded over parents objections.

"Many laughed when South Carolina’s state epidemiologist told lawmakers there is no evidence the MMR vaccine caused autism."

My heart goes out to Dr. Linda Bell and any other professional who spent years in hard study and practice only to be mocked by zealots who revel in their ignorance.

Advice from @mackayim2022 that is timely right now — for the Southern Hemisphere. But as the Good Book — and the Byrds — say, for everything there is a season. Make sure you are up-to-date with flu and any other vaccines before infectious season begins. We're — Northern Hemisphere — upside down or opposite here, as compared to the global south. 😳🤔 Or maybe *they* are!! 🤔😜

"There have been nearly 1,000 confirmed measles cases in the US in 2026 so far, according to new data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s more than four times the amount of cases as this time last year. "

Measles cases this year near 1,000. That we know of.

Many of the current cases stem from the outbreak in South Carolina, which the administration told Mother Jones they weren’t especially concerned about in December.

Well, we know what this administration and their supporters think of people from "shithole 3rd world countries" anyway. To them, these kids' lives are expendable.

"The World Health Organization on Friday released a formal statement blasting a US-funded vaccine trial as 'unethical,' because it would withhold an established, safe, and potentially lifesaving vaccine against hepatitis B from some newborns in Guinea-Bissau, Africa."

@tess_machling even people who did catch it are unlikely to have life-long immunity.
Anyone who isn't confident they've had an MMR booster in the last 10-15yrs should ask their GP if they can book one

Or pay if you're able.
Now is the time. However old, whether you have kids or not. Do it!
