As an aside:

Our doctor informs us that, as we will be travelling through the NT and SA outback, and due to the way diphtheria can be transmitted, we should get booster shots before going any further.

We have a #diphtheria outbreak in Australia.

According to the Australian Centre for Disease Control (AuCDC - yes, we have one of those now):

Diphtheria is a serious bacterial infection. It most often spreads through respiratory droplets, or direct contact with the wound.

If only there were some way of stopping spread through respiratory droplets.

If only.

Where did this outbreak start? NT First Nations populations where they don't have access to decent healthcare.
You can thank Andrew Forrest + Tony Abbott for their cashless welfare punchdown, along with high rates of imprisonment. Healthcare, climate, humanrights - everything is connected.
Time for a billionaire tax!

Lucas Waldron and Patricia Callahan take a long, sobering look at what may well happen down the road if RFKJr gets his way with vaccines and vaccine makers stop making vaccines readily available for the American market. Their modeling of a possible trajectory looks at polio, measles, rubella, and diphtheria.

The Horrors That Could Lie Ahead if Vaccines Vanish

Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.

When immunization rates drop plagues from the past can come roaring back, as measles has in American communities where parents decided not to vaccinate their children.

Africa: Members States Renew Commitments On Diphtheria Response Across Africa: [WHO-AFRO] Brazzaville -- As diphtheria continues to threaten lives across eight Member States in Africa, Ministers of Health have renewed their political commitment to halt the resurgence of this vaccine-preventable disease. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TPsfqT #Diphtheria #PublicHealth #VaccinesSaveLives #AfricaHealth #HealthCommitment

All the hard work and progress in public health in the last century is being wiped out by these stupid anti-vaxxers! They haven't seen the havoc and suffering brought on by such highly communicable deadly diseases, for which we have readily available prevention. The harm being done by these brain-dead antisocial elements is criminal.
