[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“CBS News has tracked more than 1,000 confirmed cases nationwide in 2026, which is approximately half of what was recorded in all of 2025.

Three years ago at this time, there were only two cases of the highly contagious virus, according to the CDC.”

Measles is SO contagious that the failure rate for vaccines means exponential growth when it breaks through herd immunity. It's like living in a house where the only fires are contained: the fire in the woodburning stove that is surrounded by brick, the gas flame on the stove which is separated from everything else by metal, and is highly controlled. But the problem is that when you have enough unvaccinated in the population, the house is made of paper -- whereas an escaping flame would have burned out quickly on a tile floor, now it hits cardboard, and the whole thing goes up quickly.

Anti-vaccination is terrifying. Its proponents are so sure they understand what is going on, but each time they get countered by actual reality and science-based information, they disappear. But they are always ready to assert superiority again, and again, and again.[/quote]

No kidding. The combo of superiority and stupidity is going to wreak a lot of damage. And the thing is that over time immunity can fade in some people.

Anti-vaxxers are operating on the Covid model where the strains have weakened over time and there was so much we didn’t know about it. Measles is completely different and very very well understood. [/quote]
