We used to have strong drug safety oversight because the nation was once gripped with fear when medicine given to children was purposefully spiked with car anti-freeze and it killed dozens of kids. We used to vaccinate children because so many died from measles and smallpox, or they were permanently injured for life from polio.

Many more kids need to die before the idiots in this country understand how utterly moronic it is to have leather faced brain worm in charge. This country is full of low IQ, low information imbeciles who need to relearn history all over again the hard way.

Fine. Give them what they want. Start digging the mass graves for children and prepping the iron lungs for kids.

Not really. Look at school shootings.

Actually this is what scares me. Kids are going to die. Others will die. MAGA/GOP don't seem to care as long as they feel they have "won". It's beyond sick.

It really is. MAGA is a mental illness.

It's only preventable if parents aren't and stupid.

When are we going to here about measles parties, injecting bleach, and consuming horse paste?

Those poor kids don't deserve moron parents for something preventable.

Already happening.

This woman is a plague. Ugh.

This is ridiculously stupid. Measles kills around 1/500 kids that get it. Measles also erases immune system memory and kids who get it are more likely to die from infections for another 5 years after the fact. 20% of kids that get measles are hospitalized and some of the survivors are get permanent brain damage. Before the measles vaccine existed it was common for thousands or parents to have their children die from measles each year.

She is so glaringly ignorant and morally bottom of the barrell, how is she still an elected official?

Yeah, there were no "measles parties." I was a child before the vaccines existed, got it at the age of 4. With the level of contagiousness no party needed, once it showed up every kid was going to get it.

But is having measles part of the reason I had multiple strep infections growing up plus a case of pneumonia that kept me out of school for 3 weeks? (z-pack didn't exist, I had oral penicillin and once a week a penicillin injection).

Childhood death from measles is why my grandma had 12 kids. It's why everyone back then had so many kids.

My mom is 1 of 12 with only 7 surviving into adulthood. She lost siblings to polio, measles x2, scarlet fever, and the flu.

My dad is 1 of 8 with only 6 surviving to adulthood and only 5 surviving past age 21. He lost siblings to measles, TB, and pneumonia.

So, I guess with RFK Jr. in office parents better start popping out extra kids to account for the childhood mortality rates that are sure to increase.

That dovetails nicely with the GOP’s creepy pro-natalism, actually.
