R.I.P. American children

[Anonymous]

Last year was a severe flu year in which 280 American children died.

Fabulous, we’re on track for another 280 unnecessary childhood deaths.

For comparison, the rock and play killed less than half that amount over a decade, and most parents were happy to toss that thing out of their houses.

Those poor kiddos. Measles is back, anti-vaxxers. Your kids will get it, it’s only a matter of time. Now seems to be a good time to remind you that there are no treatments and there are no cures. By the time you know your kid has measles, it’s too late for IG.

It's not coming from vaccines. Inducing immune response in young children simply doesn't do it otherwise we would see autism rates increase in different countries based on when they started vaccinating their kids. And it doesn't line up that way. It lines up with improvements in diagnosis.

Kids that we used to think were just dumb turned out to be autistic. Like Forrest Gump.

I am not a doctor but I have a dozen doctors in the family and they all vaccinate their kids.

This is well intentioned, but it is borderline disinformation in my opinion.

You can say that vaccines don’t cause autism, and I’d agree with that. But you’re insinuating (1) that doctors keep up with the medical research—they mostly don’t, and lots of good research never gets done—and (2) that any hypothesized link between the immune system and autism is bunk. That proposition is wrong. As a few datapoints:

• some emerging research suggests that autism can result where maternal autoantibodies attack proteins in the mom that are needed for fetal neural development (e.g., CRMP1 and CRMP2).

• mice models of autism are sometimes approximated by taking genetically modified mice and activating the mother mouse’s immune system.

• research suggests that people with autism have higher circulating levels of interleukine 6, a protein used in immune response.

• even controlling for confounding variables like antibiotic administration, ear infections in infancy are associated with an elevated risk of autism later in life. One plausible connection is that infections obviously involve an immune response.

• machine learning models have recently found patterns of altered species of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea in the gut of people with autism. Gut composition influences immune response.

Again, I agree that vaccines do not cause autism. But there is a public health danger in stigmatizing legitimate discourse around the relationship between immunology and autism. Keyboard warriors who think they’re quasi-scientists simply because they hate RFK and who paint with too broad a brushstroke risk creating a culture where researchers will conclude it’s simply too fraught to look into the relationship between autism and the immune system.

Well, vaccination doesn't correlate with autism, but you know what does? Fever during pregnancy.

Shame that the current administration is trying to take away the most effective medication we have for that (Acetminophen/Tylenol). Is it okay with you if we bring up that?

You get to wait several years for the lucky ones whose measles develops into subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. There's no cure. You just try to make them more comfortable and wait for them to die:

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a progressive, disabling, and deadly brain disorder related to measles (rubeola) infection.

The disease develops many years after the measles infection.

Normally, the measles virus does not cause brain damage. However, an abnormal immune response to measles or, possibly, certain variant forms of the virus may cause severe illness and death. This response leads to brain inflammation (swelling and irritation) that may last for years.

SSPE has been reported in all parts of the world, but in western countries it is a rare disease.

Very few cases are seen in the United States since the nationwide measles vaccination program began. SSPE tends to occur several years after a person has measles, even though the person seems to have fully recovered from the illness. Males are more often affected than females. The disease generally occurs in children and adolescents.

Symptoms of SSPE occur in four general stages. With each stage, the symptoms are worse than the stage before:

Stage I: There may be personality changes, mood swings, or depression. Fever and headache may also be present. This stage may last up to 6 months.

Stage II: There may be uncontrolled movement problems including jerking and muscle spasms. Other symptoms that may occur in this stage are loss of vision, dementia, and seizures.

Stage III: Jerking movements are replaced by writhing (twisting) movements and rigidity. Death may occur from complications.

Stage IV: Areas of the brain that regulate breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure are damaged. This leads to coma and then death.

Otherwise, the death rate for measles is about 1-3 per 1000. We've already had a few dead children, PP.

Welp, this is absolutely horrifying. They seem to want to remove all vaccine recommendations:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/01/vaccine-recommendations-acip

The take over by idiots in the US is complete. Everyone is losing their minds over Epstein and ICE raids, but they've lost all attention on the ongoing public health disaster RFK is cooking up. It is going to get a huge number of Americans, especially kids, killed or permanently injured from entirely preventable disease.

The rest of then world should not allow Americans to enter their countries without proof of vaccination.

Another stupid American.

The abundance is shocking.

It is shocking.
And they are taking us all down with them.

Yes. I assume most Americans are stupid as hell these days.

Scientists are getting closer in identifying the genetic defects that can cause Autism, Schizophrenia, and / or Bipolar. Why isn’t this this being discussed more and making this research a priority?

If it’s genetic defects, then we can’t blame moms for doing it to their kids. If we can’t blame moms, then we can’t call ourselves “good Christian people” when we refuse to fund healthcare for those kids who came out exactly as God made them.

“Personal responsibility” is how they destroy public health and wash their hands of sick kids.

A family in Virginia has 2 family members in icu with measles. Family traveled internationally, both kids had first vaccine but not old enough for second one. Both developed pneumonia, breathing and feeding tubes. Doctors don't even know how to treat measles here anymore. They were in and out of pediatricians office several times before they figured out the issue. Rest of family vaccinated but still dept of health requires quarantine 21 days. This is our new world caused by maga who refused to quarantine for covid. WTH!

January 26th, state of Virginia reported its fourth confirmed measles case. There was also a reported case of a traveler at Dulles airport

People think it is just measles.

Go up subacute sclerosing panecephalitis. You can live asymptomatcally for years with measles you contracted as a kid. Years later in adulthood it causes massive brain inflammation that is basically 99% lethal with no cures. It is a horrible neurodegenerative death.
