Old: “Measels”
New: “Republican Freckles”
I have to remember that one, perfectly encompasses what this is
Haha I like that
If I was religious, I probably wouldn’t be too far from thinking that a biblical plague hitting the country every time The Führer was elected was some kind of sign…
Oh yeah, and they do… Just that their sign probably says something like that it’s not going fast enough, it’s not harsh enough, it’s not violent enough, we need more immigrants put and less gays, people!
Something like that
“One Nation under God.”
Fucking LOL
Eh… that got added in the 50’s to differentiate us from those godless commies.
And how did that work out?
Fucking LOL
I’m sure the secretary of health will immediately help.
I can’t wait to hear what the guidance will be on this, likely some form of victim-blaming MAGArs for not being anti-vax enough and eventually devolving into a witchhunt for “fake conservatives” that still drink pasteurized milk 😂
Is measles the kind of vaccine you need boosters for? I got the usual growing up but if the plague rats are spreading it I’d like to stay safe…
Yes. Adults need measles boosters
You probably should get an MMR booster, yes. Check DTP as well.
If only something could have been some way to prevent this…ow well I guess it’s in gods hands now
Tots/pears. And soon only pears
Only 1-3 in 1000 die. It can go up to 3-10% for developing country conditions.
“Without vaccination, there would be 400,000 hospitalizations costing >$3 billion USD and >1,800 deaths annually” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7188204/
1 in 4 require hospitalization, according to the article. Somewhat surprised that hasn’t been scrubbed. And it’s entirely preventable.
Pfft. NLM what do they now. But of doctors and scientists with their life long plan to cause measles. My musk feed says this is all fake news and vaccines cause the gays.
/s just in case
Just as God intended.
The poor kids that have no choice are the ones suffering here, not the asshole parents.
Let’s keep that in mind.
I had it and as a child I had a few days I wanted to die for some mental relief.
Its pure torture.
So from the context of places visited, this is an unvaccinated (prospective) college student from the area that’s currently experiencing an outbreak? I bet they were looking forward to finally leaving small town Texas and then this happens to them.
Oh, good. Three hours in crowded tourist attractions on a Saturday afternoon, and six hours in bars and restaurants on Friday and Saturday nights. Plus eight hours touring campuses just a couple weeks before spring “super-spreader” break - with a disease who’s characteristic rash turns up around Day 14. This can only end well …
Here’s the thing with these anti-vaxx morons. Even if they contract measles and survive it (it can be dangerous in adults), you can sure as shit bet that they will not get the shingles vaccine once they hit 50. Shingles will fuck you up if you let it.

You may have misinterpreted the reply.
Oh shit.
Good.
