LISTING OF DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH PRESS RELEASES

Aha, this one from Phoenix. Curious if there will be a measles alert in Arizona, too. (not always) #measles

H/T to the public health folks in LA County who didn't just cookie cutter "blame international travelers" wording in this one.

"...As measles outbreaks continue to occur both in the United States and internationally, Public Health urges everyone in LA County to ensure they are fully protected from measles before traveling and take recommended precautions.

The most effective way to protect yourself and your family is with the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. Children 12 months and older are considered fully protected against measles after receiving two doses of the MMR vaccine. Infants who are older than 6 months and are traveling internationally or to domestic areas with ongoing measles outbreaks can get an early dose...."

@ai6yr oh jesus
@APBBlue I mean, you almost couldn't come up with a longer list of places to spread measles to that would trigger more measles.
@ai6yr Lots of unvaccinated people in some of those places (Hobby Lobby, Bigot Chicken)
@APBBlue bigot chicken 😆 (agree)
@APBBlue Also, only right wingers go to Hobby Lobby 🤢
@ai6yr @APBBlue
I mentioned at school once about how hobby lobby supported terrorism by purchasing plundered biblical artifacts from isis and the teacher who bought balloons there said he didn't know and would go out of his way to avoid them now
@ai6yr @APBBlue i can't say if he's vaccinated 🙃
@RnDanger @APBBlue I know a bunch of people who otherwise you'd think were normal, but who have been brainwashed. One, COVID vaccinated, but they "think it's a personal choice" and were discouraging their college age kids from vaccination, don't go to the doctor and instead use fish antibiotics, and were big proponents of self treating yourself with veterinary dewormer, and it's sad to see.

@ai6yr

I spoke about this fellow before, a retired doctor, always kept up with JAMA, very interested in science.

But then decades of propaganda aimed at him got to him, addled him, got him repeating just stupid nonsense...

"You see, Muro? This feller did a study, an' did-you-know? Of 274 patients he treated with Hydroxy-chloro-quin an' a gram a Cipro, not one of them died of covid!"

Looked it up. All bullshit!

But propaganda works.

It fucks up people's brains, makes them vulnerable.
