FYI even if you have been vaccinated you may still need to get a booster.
TDLR: if you were vaccinated in the 1960s you may need a whole new course of boosters. Also, if you were vaccinated before 1989, you may need one additional shot, since the 2-shot model wasn't recommended by the CDC until then.
Stay safe out there folks.

Good looking out. I'm on the west coast, but still going to mention it to my folks.
-
I got my booster right after RFK got sworn in. Also polio, monkeypox and COVID of course.
Good luck everyone
-
Good.
Let them die, they are getting everything they wished for. Would have been so nice if they'd only had the brains to recognize what they were wishing for but alas, here we are.
I feel nothing for you beyond that you're a cancer on this world and it's immune system just kicked in
-
The kids have nothing to do with it though
-
Yeah but these kids will grow up exactly like their parents, paying it forward every generation. If we can't save them, then I won't care about them either.
That, or we start doing forced vaccinations, which I'm a huge proponent of. You vaccinate or get deported to a remote island where you can stay until you die.
I'm so done with these people
-
Magats beget more Magats more often than not so they're probably doing us a favor in the long run. And besides, do you wanna be the one to tell those parents how to raise their kids? I'm sure that'll go over real well with them.
Let's all just do as they say. Ya know, put our faith in the Lord's hands and trust that he works in "mysterious" ways to fulfill his plan :>

Here's the problem with that, the anti-vax adults were likely vaccinated as children, so they'll live, while their children die, never connecting the dots as to why they survived.
-
These people were tricked into believing vaccines are bad. They're victims (stubborn and idiotic ones)
-
They're victims that willingly make others victims too. These are victims in the same way that a sexually abused child, when grown up, will do the same to other children.
For sure, hit the big organizations that spread this dangerous nonsense, but don't treat these people like innocents, they're not. They are actively causing a lot of harm
-
How many times do you have to get bit by a dog before you stop trying to save it?
-

-
It's their freedom as Americans to get the measles.
-
Honestly I only feel bad for the children. Every single one of those parents had a decision to do the best for their child and chose not to do this. So I feel bad for the kids, but hope (very thin sliver) that some of those parents wake up and realize that they fucked up.

Skimmed the article and had to back glance at the Moscow School District. Had to double check I was still in Kansas. No wonder Dorothy was so damn confused
-
PSA, if you are worried, have your physician order an antibody titer. It essentially measures the amount of anti-MMR antibodies in your blood to ensure you are immune.
-
The saddest part about this is that the people telling others not to vaccinate aren't going to suffer from this because they know they're spreading bullshit and thus already vaccinated themselves.
-
I see a lot of folks on the left making fun of maga supporters for being against vaccines etc, but I’ve only ever met anti vax leftists…. I’m not against vaccines I believe the science but it’s less of a left right issue than we believe it to be….
I can, however, say that I understand any concern or trepidation folks in the US have because of our fucked up healthcare system, the astronomical cost of healthcare even many can not afford preventative care, would lean folks to believe less scientifically proven methods and non traditional health care.
In the United States if you get sick, you lose everything.

It's more known as a right-wing thing these days because of Covid, but the OG antivaxxer stereotype was the hippy mom who didn't want to put "chemicals" in their children because 'big pharma' is evil, and don't you know vaccines cause autism?
-
they all moved to the right wing. update on your info.
-
I never saw this as a right vs left thing, just a stupid vs smart thing. But I can see why people would assume anti-vaxxers are right wing.

I bet they're having measles parties so it does actually spread thinking it'll just go away like a cold
-
I didn't know arstechnica wrote articles outside of tech stuffs. Apparently the measles case was on their front page as their most viewed article.
-
Vaccines, as we know thanks to the government, are mostly about nutrition, elimination of fluoride in the water and UV light from the sun.
