Ugh. I just had to update this article to report that one unvaccinated child has now died of measles in this outbreak.
Measles is preventable with the safe and effective MMR vaccine.

During questioning after #Trump’s #cabinet meeting, #Health Secy #RFKJr, a #vaccine critic, said the government was closely watching the #measles outbreak across #Texas. He said measles outbreaks occur every year.
[not at this scale & rate in the US, not before the outbreak of the #ConspiracyTheory #propaganda from idiots like Kennedy]

Measles is in Texas Universities now, and Spring Break is about to bring all college and University students together in Florida in mass sexual celebrations.
Low symptoms, for as long as a year.
Measles will kill, stetilze and cripple some, and they will bring it all back to Vermont, New York, Colorado, California . . .
Covid vaccine lowers risk of long covid in kids by 57-73%

#NewMexico has also reported an #outbreak, w/ 9 cases in Lea County, in the southeastern part of the state, on the #Texas border. 4 of those cases are #children…, all of whom are #unvaccinated, acc/to Robert Nott, a spox for the NM Dept of Health. None of the cases in NM have led to hospitalizations.
The outbreak comes amid growing concerns among #PublicHealth experts about declining #vaccination rates & the confirmation of #RFKJr, a prominent #vaccine skeptic, as the nation’s #health secy.
#Measles is a highly #contagious respiratory illness that can be life-threatening to anyone who is not protected against the #virus.
Doctors say the best way to protect against the #disease is with 2 doses of a #vaccine, which is usually administered to children as a combination measles-mumps-rubella, or #MMR, vaccine. 2 doses of the MMR vaccine prevent more than 97% of measles infections, acc/to #Texas #health ofcls.
“A school-age child has died of #measles in West #Texas, the first [#US] death from the disease in a decade… The child had not been vaccinated against measles… The death…is part of a fast-moving outbreak that's infected at least 124 people — mostly children... All …were admitted because they were having trouble breathing. None had been vaccinated against measles… Measles was considered eliminated in the US in 2000 because of widespread use of the [#MMR] #vaccine...” | NBC https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna193812
Almost five years ago, the COVID-19 pandemic shut down Houston's annual rodeo. Now, as vaccination rates have since declined in the region and across the state, a measles outbreak is budding in Texas as this year’s rodeo is set to start.
vaxxmaxers bros, its joever... the pharmacists at the clinic told me they can't inject me with a third vaccine in one week
they told me stuff like "your body can't handle three injections in one week!" and "this rare serum is 90$, its supposed to be injected into newborns"
such a shame

U.S. hasn't sent essential seasonal flu data to WHO ahead of key vaccine meeting
Seasonal flu vaccines need to be updated each year because the virus changes so frequently. But the U.S. hasn't contributed its information on what's spreading there since January, a World Health Organization official says.

What to Know About the #Measles #Vaccine
for no particular reason i'm just going to throw out there that #measles is the most infectious disease known to man and it also is one that wipes your immune system's memory of all other diseases if you get it.
to put measles's infectiousness in perspective, in an unvaccinated population it would take measles, with its 10 day incubation period, roughly 90 days to infect every human being on the planet.

#psa #vaccine #booster #measles. If born before 1968, get a booster. What outbreaks in #texas won’t stay in Texas.
Test for antibodies not fine tuned enough. Skip this speed bump and go straight to #measlesbooster, per my #pediatric #infectiousdisease doc friend.
"In Louisiana, maternal and infant mortality remain near the worst in the nation."

And that's a reason why vaccination should not be part of public health? Perhaps that's a reason why Dr. Abraham should not be Louisiana Surgeon General.
