If science is so great, how come scientists haven’t come up with a way to prevent a measles infection, yet?
Checkmate, atheists!
Also, please pray for my children, they’re dying!

If there was only something that could have protected these kids from this!

This thought just came to me.

George Orwell is writing ‘1984.’

He’s going over his notes, thinking about how best to portray evil.

“Maybe I should have a thing where Big Brother denounces all science and tells the people to trust in clean air to stay healthy…”

Then Orwell decides that’s too fucking crazy and would dilute the power of the book because no one would be that fucking evil.

Texas you absolute brick morons! Trump just signed an executive order stating NO ONE IS SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT VIRUS OUTBREAKS! You knew this when you voted for him, now go back out to the field to pick cotton because the immigrants are gone, except the ones working in engineering positions, so only the low paid immigrants are gone, GET TO PICKING!!!

FA…and your kids will FO

FAFO

In Texas, you say.

All those who contracted measles were unvaccinated, health officials said.

JFC

We never used to have measles, but now because of woke…

Oh, wonderful. I wonder how long this kind of thing will even be tracked by our government under donvict.

Measles does long-term damage to immune system, studies show

Clinicians and epidemiologists have long known that measles infection increases childhood morbidity and mortality for as long as 5 years after illness, and measles in the pre-vaccination era was likely associated with at least half of all childhood deaths from infectious diseases.

The study subjects came from an Orthodox Protestant community in Holland, where parents largely reject vaccination on religious grounds. Plasma samples were collected from 77 unvaccinated children who contracted measles during an outbreak. Of the 77 children, 34 were reported to have mild measles and 43 to have severe cases.

The researchers compared the plasma of subjects and paired controls using VirScan, a tool that scans a person’s antibodies from a small blood sample, allowing the researchers to catalogue the children’s history of viral infections and immunity. Mina said this study was VirScan’s debut, and showed that the immune systems of the unvaccinated Dutch children who acquired measles during an outbreak were severely impaired following infections.

“In a normal, healthy vaccinated person, we can expected a 5% to 10% drop in antibodies over time,” Mina told CIDRAP News.

After severe measles, children lost a median of 40% (range, 11% to 62%), and after mild measles they lost 33% (range, 12% to 73%), of their total preexisting pathogen-specific antibody repertoires. Paired, healthy controls retained approximately 90% of their repertoires over similar or longer durations.

I kind of suspect that if someone doesn’t get their kids a measles vaccination, they probably also aren’t getting them vaccinations for other things, too.
