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.
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.
