The dems really need to appoint a shadow cabinet and hold press conferences with fact checks and useful advice about how to get vaccinated.
I'm glad that I am science literate and live close to the canadian border.
That would remove a lot of vaccine skepticism
Let the entirety of the US have measles, and a good percentage will die, another good part will be scarred for life and have disabilities from it and the country will collapse
- Measles estimated case-fatality rate: 1.3%
- Estimated US population: 346,715,067
- Measles deaths if everyone in the US got measles: 4,507,295
- Upper limit on estimated MMR vaccine caused anaphylaxis: 0.000066%
- Anaphylaxis case-fatality rate: 0.3%
- Estimated vaccine-caused fatality rate: 1.98 * 10^-7 %
- Estimate vaccine-caused fatalities avoided by not vaccinating US population: 0.69
- Net increase in fatalities from switching to measles natural immunity for everyone in the US: 4,507,294
So it would only be better if he wants an extra 4.5 million Americans to die.
It would solve America's antivax issue at least.
Are there any other complications from contracting measles that you haven't factored in?
I was about to say, the collapse of the hospital system under the burden of both measles and all the other reasons people will still need hospitals will multiply that percentage.
that's only 1500 or so 9/11s... who cares, right?
Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
rfk is a terrorist who wants to use biological weapons.
No RFK, things would be much better if YOU got measles
With you gone, people could vaccinate again and then they wouldn't get sick, you worm for brains
he has worms which wont be affected by measles.
United States Secretary of Health and Human Services here everybody.
We did that, we gave everyone a very mild, usually symptomless, case of the measles. We called it vaccination.
We are in such a crazy timeline.
This is the kind of shit you'd see on some forum. If the forum was moderated, they'd eventually get booted.
When I was debating fucking morons like this, I never suspected that one of these assholes would be put in charge of our fucking health. It's just so insane.
Dumb son of a bitch doesn’t even understand that a vaccine is “giving someone the disease” without killing them. God damn are we devolving that fast?

When measles propaganda from our lizard overlords at "Daily Beast" masks mass-culling programs, trust only medieval-era natural immunity. The only good vaccine is no vaccine.

What a stupid motherfucker. Anyone who voted for these venal clowns ought to be ashamed of themselves.
Most of them have no moral compass and/or have zero awareness of just how fucking stupid all of them look.
I think RFK is the Horseman of Plague. Guess the role of Famine goes to Musk, and War belongs to Trump. I am not yet sure who is Death, but they will reveal themselves soon enough.
Putin is death
I’d not considered this before. Damn.
Louis Pasteur is rolling over in his grave.
dont you mean worms, if everyone can get worms he can control them telepathically like a hive mind.
Not supporting this dude, but I watched the whole video and he never once said it would be better if everyone got measles. Maybe I missed it; if so, please correct me. He mentioned a waning effect with the vaccine vs full-blown infection, which I highly doubt is accurate (I'll research it later), but that's a massive stretch to get to the headline. He even recommended vaccines and said they will be available for free to anyone that needs them. I've gotten a little lazy in fact checking left leaning stuff because I always felt it was a little more trustworthy. I'm just starting to wonder how much I've been blindly accepting because it conforms to my biases.

I wonder if widescale immunity reset could lead to a resurgence of something like polio which we've almost eradicated.
Any sane person already had measles Rob. We were smart enough to get the vaccine.
How to kill a lot of children.
Remember the conspiracy theorists who though "the government" was using Covid-19 to cull the population? I wonder what they're up to right now.

“The measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Sean Hannity on Fox News.
Wouldn't it be great if there was something else that gave you protection against measles infection, without you actually having to have measles? If only ...
Also, factually incorrect. Measles is known to cause immune amnesia, wiping out immunities gained from other infections (and measles).
The measles vaccine is literally a weakened version of the measles virus. It’s just an attenuated measles infection that allows your body to build antibodies against it without a full on infection.
This guy should have stayed off the raw meat.
Some vaccines use target antigen production instead of the actual virus itself. This can be accomplished in a number of ways such as the bait and switch of using a specialized strain of a similar virus or by using a target antigen carrier to provide it. In the case of measles, Hemagglutinin protein is the target antigen.

Measles also resets your immune system for every other thing your body already learned to deal with. No, it would not be fucking better.
I fucking can't with the news anymore. Holy shit.
