+1 It's a super-scary time for those with babies and those with medically fragile kids who can't be vaccinated. An unvaxxed 6 yo already died. And RFK Jr just tells people to take Vitamin A so we have to cope with mis-information from our "chief public health" officials who are mostly idiots now.

I imagine if it actually becomes a real issue in the area-parents will be advised to keep their kids under 1 home until it’s contained. Really that’s a very specific group and I can’t imagine if it does happen the risk will be for very long.

I expect that in the DMV that enough people are fully vaccinated that this shouldn’t become an outbreak (herd immunity and all that). Fingers cross that is right.

This is quoted from the thread about Texas.

"Every baby under 1 year is at risk.

Also a 97% effectiveness rate is incredible, a scientific triumph.

But it still means 3 in 100 are expected to get measles if exposed. If vaccination rates are high, those 3-in-100 will never, ever be exposed to measles, But when cases are surging as they are right now…those 3-in-100 (which is potentially millions of people if we can’t contain the spread) are at risk.

And we can’t really predict who they are. Your loved one? Mine?"

Except there is a vaccine for measles and most people have been vaccinated at some point in the past 5 decades.

Newborns can't be vaccinated.

The vaccination weakens after a period of time, and those with vaccinations during a certain time period should be vaccinated again. I doubt those who received a bad batch of the vaccination will get a memo from the current admin.

So, like I said, buckle up.

Except for little babies, but who cares about them.

except when a large enough portion of the population is vaccinated.

Also, post your source-not just your feelings.

what is wrong with you? This isn’t a pandemic situation because of exactly what the pp just said.

Sorry, since 1963.
