You mean taking cod liver oil and vitamins don’t cure measles?
Also, “I don’t believe in vaccines!” Followed by, “Save me hospital, doctors, and modern medicine!” Followed by regression to, “It was life’s/God’s plan” I mean anything to deflect from your initial failure as a parent to protect your child from something entirely preventable. Just own it, you killed your child.

Holy crow there are 300 cases. How many cases were in New York in 2019?
About 1,200.

I think it was 7-800 in NY in 2019 but the general point remains. The current outbreak seems to be slowing a bit too which is a good thing.
I thought that too a week or so ago, but I see Texas is at 309 and New Mexico at
42. State gives updates on Tuesday.
Measles cases top 350 in Texas-New Mexico measles outbreak | CIDRAP.
Key thing in article CgrBkr posted was the poor Texas data in getting
vaccination even now.
Nearly 9,000 New Mexicans have received measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine shots between Feb. 1 and March 10. During that same time period last year, officials vaccinated 5,342 people.
Texas has held multiple vaccination clinics in the outbreak area, but according to the Texas Department of State Health Services, only 350 doses have been administered.
Received the MMR vaccine two weeks ago JUST in case as some articles out there state the original could’ve worn off. Never had measles, I’m 51 probably had the vaccine as a child but couldn’t locate back records. No side affects.

Whey stop there, if you compare it to the 1950’s this outbreak is a nothing burger.
Not to sound too nitpicky here. But I’ve noticed that the 2019 outbreak and the Texas outbreak share a pretty strong correlation of strict religiosity.
Now I’m not saying we shouldn’t respect these beliefs, obviously from far, far away and hand sanitized of course. But perhaps we could respectfully encourage these, I assume decent people, that while spirituality is incredibly important perhaps they shouldn’t be taking medical advice from any being that gets to count “unanswered prayers” in his/her W column and bad outcomes were just part of the plan.
State of Texas now reporting 327 cases
New Mexico now at 43 cases
. At this time, 327 cases have been identified since late January. Forty of the patients have been hospitalized.

Want to think this is a joke; but it’s not.
Shouldn’t everyone be outraged over this ?
and his misrepresentation of his credentials to the Maryland Board of Health, where he falsely claimed to be a board-certified geneticist and epidemiologist.[4]

Yes, quacks should be driven from science and whatever the research equivalent of tar and feathering is. Not rewarded to research more quackery.
Look at this chart…I demand investigations now!!!

Wrong diseases with three Internet and 5g. That’s brain cancer, ADHD, and spreading/anxiety. Weirdly enough only the brain cancer is really kind of made up
Just sad state of affairs in regards to Americans’ understanding of
science. Who they listen to and conspiracy stuff they buy into. Doing
their own “research.”
I mean they’ve already shown themselves to be good with child murder, why not mix up the methods?
