There It Is: RFK Jr. Suggests Best Strategy For Combatting Measles Is For Everyone To Get It
Well that was fast. We were just talking about RFK Jr.’s recent comments on the measles outbreak in several southern states, mainly Texas, and how those comments were dangerous. The HHS Secre…
Remember when politicians said everyone should get covid to develop heard-immunity? And then we had more than one million deaths since then?
Well actually we already do that, its called vaccines you fuckers
Measles kills memory cells, effectively factory resetting your immune system.
RFK Jr., a man vaccinated against the measles, says your kids should get measles.
not against worms though.
If I'm not mistaken parts of the SF Bay Area had measles parties like 10-15 years ago when the anti-vaxx thing was really becoming trendy. Parents would take their kids to try to get them infected. It's as stupid today as it was before. Fuck these people.
they had to put a stop to that quick. people dont have measles party for a reason, and usually only occurs for chickenpox anyways. both cpox and measles is quite severe to adults.
People who intentionally infect their children with deadly pathogens and assist in spreading disease should face criminal charges.
What a fucking moron.
If there were only a way to introduce everyone to the virus with no risk of suffering the symptoms of the disease. Wouldn’t that be amazing?
We all know the scientific answer is to train the body to recognise the threat and train in advance on a less damaging dose.
This is why homeopathy works.
Science ≠ Homeopathy
Homeopathy or homoeopathy is a pseudoscientific[1] system of alternative medicine.
Measles would be even more catastrophic.
He should be the first
What if there was a way for everyone’s body to know about measles, without actually getting measles.
That would be pretty cool huh?
I did this way today! (am old person so needed booster).
you might want o get shingrx vaccine, for shingles too if your over 50+, shingles is more severe in older adults, than in younger people. i had a mild form of phn from a small shingles rash.
This is a witch. Burn them.
I got better.
That's the opposite of combating. That's just giving up.
"If we let people starve to death, we can solve the food crysis!"
It's like an AI ran the calculations and determined eradication of the species will minimize suffering. Except we didn't need an AI, just a really dumb guy.
Let's end drunk driving by making it legal and actually forcing everyone to drunk drive. Nobody left to drunk drive if everyone's dead
He should get it first, would be a shame if he died and it would scare people into action.
Yep, via vaccine ya fucking doofus
If only we could give everyone the illness, but like without all the death or lifelong damage it causes...
Also measles resets your immune system. Your immune system keeps records of all the crap it's fought, making it easier to fight next time. When you get measles, it's like you're a new born. So he's not only allowing ppl to die, he's making it easier for future illnesses to kill as well.
Two studies of unvaccinated children in an Orthodox Protestant community in the Netherlands found that measles wipes out the immune system’s memory of previous illnesses, returning it to a more baby-like state, and also leaves the body less equipped to fight off new infections.
The first paper, led by Velislava Petrova, of the Wellcome Sanger Institute and Cambridge University, says measles erodes two separate lines of defence of the immune system.
To tackle previously unseen infections, the immune system relies on constantly pumping out a diverse range of immune cells – thousands of different varieties, each with slightly different receptors on their surfaces, with a collective ability to recognise almost any pathogen.
“The more diverse range of them we have, the better,” said Petrova. However, after measles, the children had a far more restricted range.
The immune system also creates long-lived memory cells, which remain permanently in circulation, allowing the body to rapidly recognise and eliminate previously encountered infections.
However, after measles, a substantial proportion of immune memory cells had disappeared from the children’s blood, in what the scientists described as “immune amnesia”. This could even mean that children who become infected with measles may need to be revaccinated for previous diseases.
it suppresses your immune system, measles theoretically does this by infecting dendritic cells which present antigens to t-cells which fights of viruses, if thats impaired, your immune system wont recognize old and new infections.
Holy shit is that grim.
Wouldn't this basically reset the COVID pandemic back to where we were in 2021?
No.
The problem isn't people who have been vaccinated against measles, the problem is people who haven't, can't, or are otherwise immunocompromised.
Those people would have all of their immunities reset. People who don't get measels because they have the vaccination will be unaffected.
Plus the current COVID variant is quite unlike the one in 2021, and we'll all need to get vaccinated against the next surviving variant anyway. Coronaviruses suck in that way.
Wow I never knew this. That's fascinating.
Measles is a gift from grandpa nurgle. Take it in! -RFK probably
Seriously the dude has a worm too. He serves nurgle.
Is it really still news that USA has gone crazy?
Sorry I asked the same on another story that was also crazy, but this one is even crazier! 🤡
It's not crazy.
I wish people would see that, this is years of bad policy coming to light.
This isnt maliciousness or apathy. This is stupidity, while the south and midwest excel and continue this. The Republicans and those in power continue to dismantle education.
Why. Because stupidity is a force greater than evil. You can't argue with it, you can't change it, you can't reason with stupidity.
A democracy is only as good as it's continued excellence in education, learn from this Europe and be better.
The stupidity was always ingrained in American racial politics combined with extreme Christianity.
Leading to falsification of historic events, and denial of science especially evolution. Resulting in awful moral standards based on 2000 year old principles.
In that regard USA is more like Iran than Europe. Except Iran doesn't have the white supremacist problem. So USA may actually be worse.
How can you trust anything, when you can't trust your teachers and basic education?
Americans are stupid because the majority wants to keep it that way.
Him first
The entirety of Mango Mussolini's cabinet first.
MAGAs: “Everyone should get covid”
Doctors in Huston setting up overflow field hospitals in parking lots: “For the love of fuck. Please stop.”
Its terrifying that the health secretary has no idea how serious measles is. Fatalities are pretty high, its not at all like the common cold.
I think they know. I think we are realising these people are eugenicists.
the irony is it's their base that will suffer the most.
I went and got my MMR booster, I doubt any of them will.
So we're up to literally demented individuals trying to kill us all being in charge.
I fucking love this country and the fact it has nukes.
Wow so the solution is to do nothing, seems oddly convenient for a certain group of people
He should lead by example.
Maybe the entire Trump
closetcabinet should have a measle party to show how it's done!inb4 the cdc recommends you drink your own piss.
I'm still waiting for him to actually tackle whats in our food since that was his whole shtick.
In 1962, the rate of deaths from measles was 0.2/100k among the population.
Doesn't sound like a l... Ohhh. It's the full population in 1962, not out of the people who got measles.
This is just continuation of the same line of thinking, created by the infamous Great Barrington Declaration. Now Jay Bhattacharya & co get to reap what they sow... with mass death and disability.
Imagine if long covid affected like 25% of the population. Hell, even 10% would greatly reduce our ability to function as a society.
The best strategy for combatting Trump Derangement Syndrome is also for everybody to get it?
worm derangement syndrome.
