Measles Outbreak

Yes, pp. Best to not say anything or she might dig her heels in. Here’s hoping she has an excellent, non-cult pediatrician.

733 confirmed cases in 2026 already. You want to wait until it’s someone you know to believe it could happen?

Remember when MAGAs would routinely say Covid (like birds) wasn't "real." Then, a bit later, you'd see social posts about various Donnies or Ronnies or Bobbys, who were now hooked up to ventilators, saying "Hep me, Sweet Jesus! Hep me! I got the Covid!"

It's not my business or battle, though, and I'm just vastly relieved that my son sent me a text message saying he appreciates my staying apart during whatever emotional and psychological adjustment period he needs to go through. But that he has given "the little guy" a nickname and he is just going to try his best to use the resources he has access to to give "my son the best life possible"

so, that's all good.

But man, I just hope that includes vaccines

you should encourage him to seek joint custody for all medical and educational decisions.

1 to 3 in 1000 children with measles die. Try as you might, you haven't been able to infect that many yet in this outbreak. There have been some child deaths already in overall cases, though.

Just imagine how much fun you'd have if you could ensure they were all unvaccinated! Are you betting on the numbers? What's the spread?

The rate was 1 in 1000 back in 1960. You guys really should update your numbers now and then, because a lots happened in the last 65 years. We don't have pockets of malnourished children like we did then, so the disease ends up being pretty mild.

The disease remains severe. What we have now is ECMO, ventilators, a whole lot of pharma, and the ability to crack a kid’s head open so his swollen brain has somewhere to go. If you don’t mind dropping a couple of million, we can save your kid, too. No guarantees about what he’s going to be like after, though.

+1 this person is very ignorant. 11% of the people diagnosed with measles in 2025 were hospitalized, more than 1/10. Three of these people who had measles died last year! In 2025, even with modern medical care you are talking about the fatality rate was still 1/760 last year.

Makes me so angry. These are needless deaths. Brought on by repudiation of one of the most amazing things science has ever produced because a conman wants to be president.

Most deaths in this country are arguably needless, but we give people the freedom to make the decisions that lead to their deaths or the deaths of others. We let any ole idiot purchase a 5,000 pound battering ram and drive it around a city, while carrying a military inspired weapon, a couple of pit-bulls roaming around the backseat while chugging the largest slurpee they could fit in a cup-holder. All of these things are far dumber decisions than passing on the measles vaccine and they produce far more deaths.

That's before you factor in the often ignored fact that vaccines are not risk free. You really should read the package inserts of the vaccines you advocate for. Let me show you a small portion of one:
Nervous System
Encephalitis; encephalopathy; measles inclusion body encephalitis (MIBE) subacute sclerosing
panencephalitis (SSPE); Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS); acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM);
transverse myelitis; febrile convulsions; afebrile convulsions or seizures; ataxia; polyneuritis;
polyneuropathy; ocular palsies; paresthesia; syncope."

Hrmm, one of those looks familiar...

So how many kids do we have to give SSPE to, uh, save kids from SSPE?

You know it's more common with the viral infection than with the vaccine, right?

At least 20 students at Ave Maria University in Collier County have confirmed measles infections and there are still 14 cases pending testing, according to a local clinic. In a health alert posted on its website, Ava Maria said that five students presented with rash since last Friday and are being quarantined

https://www.naplesnews.com/story/news/state/2026/02/10/measles-cases-florida/88586502007/#:~:text=However%2C%20at%20least%2020%20students,Friday%20and%20are%20being%20quarantined.

Ave Maria University is a highly conservative, Catholic institution in Florida known for its traditional, faith-based, and non-coed-dormitory environment, often cited as one of the most conservative colleges in the US. It promotes a conservative Catholic worldview, with a large majority of students holding conservative political views.

Measles also causes severe effects in pregnant women, potentially causing them to miscarry. "pro life" my butt.

Sadly for Americans, many are going to learn some very stark lessons that will have lifelong repercussions.

PS: Actually, all of these side effects are much more common with the infection than with the vaccine. It's a dumb argument.

You’re thinking about it backwards. It’s more like, “gosh, if the minuscule immune stimulus from the vaccine can do this, just think how bad the disease itself would be.”

(It would be a lot worse)

For the zillionth time, no.

It isn't just the innocent children of the parents who will be punished. It's babies under 12 months who are not old enough to be vaccinated. It is people undergoing chemo for treatable cancer. It is elderly people and people who are immune deficient. If it were just the stupid people, it would still be wrong to put their offspring at risk, but it isn't. There are a lot of victims here.

DP You're right here, so no. You own your own responsibility for promoting anti-vax. Credit to you.

This university press release is very reckless. https://www.avemaria.edu/campus-health-update
Since the start of the semester, 49 nurse-assessed students have progressed beyond the contagious period and now have natural immunity
There is nothing in this press that even suggests that people should get the MMR vaccine. Maybe some of the parents will sue the university for endangering students health.
