“It is not a mild infection, it is not a mild virus; it is a severe illness. And they kept on telling me they wish they’d known beforehand how bad measles was, so that they could have protected their family,” she said.

Sharing from a friend :)
most people have received 2 doses of the MMR vaccine. if you haven’t received 2 doses, you could talk to a doctor. if you don’t know how many doses you have received: I would ask for a measles immune status test, and get vaccinated if you don’t have immunity. people who were born before 1970 are assumed to have natural immunity, but you may still need to be vaccinated, depending on your situation.
WTF did they expect?
These people are an extremely dangerous combination: highly uneducated and privileged enough to not have experienced actual hardship.
They probably expected the sniffles or some shit, not a highly contagious horrible disease that can have permanent detrimental effects on your body, including brain damage, deafness, blindness, lung damage, or you know, straight up death.
Like how most Americans sincerely believe that a bad head cold is the flu. “I don’t need to get vaccinated; I get the flu every year and it’s not that bad.” Yeah, no you don’t. You get a cold every year.
Who knew this would happen ;)
They should have lifted weights and taken Ivermectin.
Red Oblast problems and these clowns will continue to listen to the cocaine snorting, off filthy toilet seats, idiot.
I thought chiropractors and ivermectin were a miracle cure. Whattup with that, MAGAs? You lot shouldn’t be sick, yeah?
They’re clearly invulnerable / invincible. They’ll live forever, just like the pieces of shit in USA government.
My father almost died from polio as a kid. I care a lot about vaccines. I hope all these people die before they can do further harm to the rest of us. There will be no such luck.
I had measles as a kid in the 80s, either before I was old enough for the vax or a breakthrough case, unclear which as idk the recommended schedules from the 80s. I was in the hospital for weeks. I take vaccination very seriously, get every single one I can, and was quite pleased to have gotten all my childhood vaccinations a second time as an adult, just to be absolutely sure (my records went missing and it was required for my job).
Zero sympathy.
For the parents. I feel bad for the kids.
Mormons believe that their children are pre-selected in the pre-earth life, so the children chose to come to that family in their theology.
That’s what all Protestants believe.
I forgot about that part.
Ugh. Making kids is raping life into them. There is no consent involved.
I have to agree here. Those bairns didn’t ask to run the risk of lifelong complications like blindness, deafness, brain damage, loss of motor control of a body part, lung damage, immune system damage and a whole slew of others I needn’t list to labour a point.
The parents should be no longer so, but condemning those kids to yet more abuse at the hands of the system strikes me as nothing short of sadistic.
At what point should other countries ban travel from the US?
November 6th, 2024
I would even say 2004
I mean, you can, but the cases in the US were imported from elsewhere: the ones in the Northeast are generally from heavily Orthodox Jews traveling to or from Israel; the cases in the southwest started among the Mennonite community and was imported from Mennonites in Mexico. Unfortunately, vaccine resistance is pretty high among both groups.
The better way to handle it would be to require that travelers to your country have been vaccinated, and that refugees and asylum seekers are kept in quarantine and given vaccinations before they’re paroled to the general public. There’ll still be people who slip through the cracks - immigrants who manage to avoid processing, people traveling on small boats or small planes, etc - but it would be a start. Unfortunately, I don’t know how well that plays with all the various “free travel” rules.
If only there was some way to protect yourself. /s
RFK Jr. and all the antivaxxers need a Nuremberg-style trial…
Isn’t measles considered bad because it’s INSANELY contagious? Like covid made immunologisys freak out because the infection rate was over 2? Measles is like 12 or 18.
Lingers in the air for hours too… Good luck american morons and their neighbours…
I had measles as a kid, I wasn’t vaccinated, i remember it as if it were yesterday, it was so traumatic, i genuinely thought I was going to die, I genuinely felt my mortality, at like 7 or 8yo. the pain was more than I could cope with. My mother was (and still is) an antivaxer. As deranged (and narc) as they come. I got my kids vaccinated. It’s ripping my heart out, knowing what these kids are, entirely unnecessarily, being put through.
I don’t want to pull on any strings that are too painful or nothing but … did you tell your mom that you vaccinated your kids? if you did, how did she handle it?
If anyone in a large room or house has measles, everyone will get it.
1 in 100 will get the virus in their brains leading to permanent brain damage or blindness.
Even europeans, asians, will have to be more careful the next tens of years, thanks to some deranged conspiratists.
At some point, rest-of-the world will mandate a vaccine proof from US travelers, because you know: that backward country with people carrying disease…
A closed room with a internal vents system like a mall or a school can have measles issues for weeks after a few case. It was ione of the worst virus of the past for a reason.
makes me glad my wife’s classroom has external vents
NO SHIT ITS NOT A MILD INFECTION.
The entire world came together to eradicate a disease that we knew could not only debilitate but kill.
We spent years to formulate a preventative treatment that allows our bodies to survive infections, but some looneytunes sounding twat decides that vaccines are the devil and now that very same disease has open and unprotected vectors to be spread through.
i thought the thumbnail was Trevor from wkuk at first…
Where’s Dr. Kyle when you need him, right?
