Every single person is one preventable illness away from being “very sick”
RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.
“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”
No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.
Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!
May 12, 2025 00:28If you are “healthy” before you get measles, and you “survive,” not only have you likely infected a bunch of other people, but there’s a good chance you can end up deaf, blind, otherwise permanently disabled, or even just without an immune system and susceptible to dying from an actual common cold
It’s a pure fallacy to say that the best way to become immune is by getting infected. Even more bonkers in the case of measles is that the measles virus can wipe out ALL former immunity to other infections, meaning even if you don’t get that sick from measles you’re gonna get sick all the time after
I read only the “Only very sick kids should die…” and I flew into a fit of rage.
NO KID -SHOULD- DIE, you half-brained mothafucka!!!
I'm waiting for RFK Jr. to just up and admit that he believes sickly children are too inconvenient to the state to live. He's a eugenicist.
I don't think subacute sclerosing panencephalitis cares about how healthy the infected person is.
Just that it gets to the right cells, acquires the right mutations, and multiplies in the immune privileged brain.
