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.

"It is pretty damn sad and pathetic to watch so many people in developed countries in the West turning on modern medicine and science simply because they don’t actually understand how any of it works. Instead of engaging with the biology or the data, they just default to emotional gut reactions and cultural discomfort and then try to dress all of that up as if it’s some kind of informed position. It’s not."

Sigh.

@wdlindsy
If they stop making vaccines for the US market, the whole world will pay for it, at least because the prices will explode 😐

And also because US travelers will become very dangerous spreaders 🤦
