yes, I have the same hostility. Hep B can be spread by saliva/bites, and children are prone to biting each other. Sadly I have had 3 different series of Hep B shots, and am now waiting to see if I finally have titers. For those of us who never develop titers, the environment is scary

Also, the tech sector people believe they have a divine right to revamp society because they are super smart and everyone else is so dumb that AI should replace them.

Another child has died.

“Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. late Saturday was planning a hastily arranged visit to Texas after the state informed his department that a second child's death there could be linked to measles.

The child involved was a member of the same Mennonite religious community that in February reported the death of an unvaccinated 6-year-old girl who had had measles.”

This is so sad. There was also a cluster of cases at a Texas daycare, including toddlers and infants. I guess RFK Jr wasn’t exaggerating when he dismissively stated that measles outbreaks are “common”. He was just being prescient. This is our new normal. Measles outbreaks, soon to be followed by pertussis, polio, German measles, and the mumps.

It’s mumps that makes men sterile.

We should ensure that all male MAGA children get the mumps.

Liberal here. I sort of agree but the child was from religious community that doesn’t vote. And there are many health nut/ rich white libs/ Insta folks who are anti vax.

But yes, it’s MAGA who are now pushing this and we all suffer.
