As measles cases continue to rise around the globe, the World Health Organization warns it’s a signal that other disease outbreaks could soon follow.
The surging number of measles cases around the world is a stark warning sign that outbreaks of other vaccine-preventable diseases could be next, the World Health Organization warned Friday.
“It’s crucial to understand why measles matters,” said Dr. Kate O’Brien, director of the WHO’s Department of Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals. “Its high transmissibility means that even small drops in vaccine coverage can trigger outbreaks, like a fire alarm going off when smoke is detected first.”
That is, measles is often the first disease to pop up when vaccination rates overall drop.
love how the media is so scared of trump that they can’t even hint about how this is all literally a direct consequence of pridefully ignorant magahat antivaxxer morons who would actually cut their own balls off for trump just because he makes them feel like it’s totally fine to be bigoted racist rapist assholes
not scared. complicit.
The outbreaks started under Biden. Vaccination and countering viral spread in general has been undermined by successive governments around the globe to get people back to work despite Covid still causing damage to a lot of people, including deaths, and the main causality has been public health.
Sometimes I wish there was some scientifically curated fiction where vaccines came from this high altitude tibetan super moss and it was bio and all that bullshit anti vaxxers want to hear. It could work
scientifically curated
you’ve already lost the audience you’re trying to reach
I know but we don’t have to call it that! We can call it ancient profetic iluminism lost to ages or some shit. But really what it is is just science based vaccines with some aspirin.
just tell them you have to activate the vaccines with crystals after you get a shot.
you’re on the right track, but i think it’s even stupider than that. all that really needs to happen is to somehow get it through their empty cinderblock skulls that measles is actually even more contagious than gayness and woke, and that vaccines love jesus and guns
but still, good luck with any of this
Apple cider vinegar and oregano oil.
We can tick one of those boxes! Vaccines are an adaptation of an ancient eastern medicine practice (variolation) rebranded to give some English white guy all the credit (tbf vaccines are a lot safer, but still the dude didn’t come up with the concept all on his own).
I wonder if a doctor tried this on antivax people.
that could be one reason but I’d guess the main reason why they don’t single out the trump aligned antivax crowd is because they don’t want to alienate trump supporters (that’s like over half of the us population)
the people this information needs to get to the most are those antivaxxers, it matters more that they get vaccinated and less that we learn of their mistakes

We are in for it now. Public heath has always ben a sisyphean task. Interrupt it and you lose ground immediately and constantly until you go backstop the fall. Which is to say, we’re in for it.
Not to mention invisible when it does it’s job right. When public health is supported people don’t get sick, epidemics don’t happen, things look good. So some genius gets it in their head to cut public health funding. Why waste money on public health when people aren’t sick. Then public health gets cut, people get sick, people blame the health care industry which isn’t the same as public health. That happenes until public health gets a little more support, and people stop getting sick, rinse any memory of the last time, and repeat.
This is the IT affect. When IT works, everything is invisible and you don’t see issues. When you take funding and personal away, suddenly you have all these issues that IT should have to fix, and now we suck because you can’t fix it, because so and so was the resident, or whatever tool we had paid for was cut for funding, etc.
Then they ship the jobs to India because they can hire 10 Indians for the price of one American. Then when everything gets fucked up they have to hire more Americans to unfuck it.
Steve Jobs proved that even Sociopathic Oligarchs can be just as stupid as anyone else when it comes to health. Maybe even stupider, since their uncontrolled narcissism has convinced them that they are smarter than doctors. I encourage this trend.
that sub which imploded trying to reach the Titanic has convinced (some of) them that they are smarter than engineers too
i always triied to phrase it more that we’re definitively smarter than a few specific ones (those submarine engineers, to be precise)
Look at Trump. He routinely claims he knows more about everything than anybody. That’s clearly a lie, since nobody knows more than my Uncle Bob after three beers.
We’re just experiencing an evolutionary split within the human race, that’s all…
You’re joking but this isn’t far from the truth. Self destructive behaviours wiping out species not clever enough to change their behaviour is as old as the earth.
Wasn’t actually joking but I agree with your response.
I’m old enough to have the Smallpox vaccine, so have fun with that, you MAGA Morons.
