Health experts plead for unvaxxed Americans to get measles shot as cases rise
Health experts plead for unvaxxed Americans to get measles shot as cases rise
The US hit last year's total in under 12 weeks, suggesting we're in for a bad time.
Lol, anyone willing to listen to health experts is already immunized (assuming they're able). They'd almost be better off saying: there is a short supply of vaccines and the gubment doesn't want to give them to citizens.
Save the awareness campaign money. Instead buy child sized body bags and create negligent parent laws.
Just tell them all that it has been piped into the water supply and the only cure from forced water vaccines is to get a needle at the hospital. Also make sure the needle is in the shape of a Christian cross with a figure of Christ on it. And let it glow and play the Star Spangled Banner as it is being injected.

It amazes me that this idiocracy continues to grow. My son turned 1 this past Sunday. Yesterday, he got his MMR vaccine and his chicken pox vaccine. These idiots are afraid of science. I'm afraid of my son dying from a totally preventable disease.
Ya, a self fixing problem in the end. The only crappy part is they'll take down immune compromised people that need others to be functioning parts of society.
And babies. The person above's son was not immune to those diseases when he was younger than 1.
Said the parents: "Over my child's dead body!"
Measles: "and I took that personally"
I really hope this is the time measles unretired to go play for the Wizards and not the time measles unretired after playing minor league baseball
They'd rather beg for it in the hospital when it's too late like they did with COVID.
That way, they can say they "went down fighting."
...because being angry and fighting is literally all these fucking losers care about.
Reminds me of this recent gem (ok, maybe it wasn't recent ..... it was recent to me)

As someone who is married to a person that cannot be vaccinated against measles, I also plead with people to get vaccinated.
Okay but how do you know if you are vaxxed? I see this so much and every time I get spooked like what if I wasn't?
You can get checked to see if you have immunity/antibodies ... and if you need the vaxxes the Dr/pharmacy can provide them.
The same immunity tests can be done for mumps, polio, etc.
I'm pretty sure I've had the MMR vaccine more than once. Probably got it as a kid to get into school. Definitely needed it to get into college, but didn't have records to show I already had it, so they just gave it to me again. Then got all kinds of shots in the military. Wouldn't be surprised if yet another round of MMR was one of them. Point being, just tell the pharmacist that you don't know if you already had it, but wonder if it's safe to just get it again. They'll probably answer, "Which arm?" 😉
When I was in college in the 90s we had one student who contracted measles at my school. Back then people still took it seriously. They actually shut down all classes and set up a free vaccination clinic. Nobody was allowed to return to class until you could provide proof that you had received a vaccine/booster recently enough to still be effective. Once you were verified you got a release form you had to show your professors to be admitted to class. This was a mid-size state University, so it was a pretty big deal.
You have definitely had it a couple times. The MMR vaccine schedule for children is getting the first shot around 1 and the second one around 4. Then you also got it in the military.
Go to your doctor or pharmacist and tell them that you aren't sure. They'll probably just recommend getting a booster. I got all my childhood vaccines (except chickenpox because it wasn't required when I was a kid) and my doctor still recommended a booster just to be sure.
As an aside, you should be sure to get your tetanus booster every ten years as well.
Ask your parents, it was the mmr vaccine. Generally required for school so most would have had it. If you're really not sure, you can talk to your doctor. They can check a blood test to see if you have measles antibodies or not.

You can ask your healthcare provider. They should be able to at least point you in the right direction to find your vaccine records.
Don't matter. Go to your doc and tell them you're not sure and want it. Not like getting hit 2 or 5 times is going to fuck you up.
