Measles warnings issued in San Antonio and San Marcos as Texas outbreak spreads
The largest measles outbreak in decades has reached San Antonio and San Marcos. Officials say an individual who tested positive for the virus in West Texas traveled to two major universities and one of the nation's busiest tourist attractions — the San Antonio River Walk.
DJT and RFK should visit the stricken area and skae a bunch of hands to show their support. They definitely shouldn't get a vaccine booster before they go.
Hey, if some kids need to be seriously ill and some fetuses lost then that is the price we pay for freedom! Now where is my gun?....
Republicans should start having measles parties while drinking raw milk.
They'll blame it on fluoridation.
End result the same, dead republicans!
While spiking the milk with Invermectine.
Old: "Measels"
New: "Republican Freckles"
I have to remember that one, perfectly encompasses what this is
Haha I like that
If I was religious, I probably wouldn't be too far from thinking that a biblical plague hitting the country every time The Führer was elected was some kind of sign...
Don't give them ideas.
Oh yeah, and they do... Just that their sign probably says something like that it's not going fast enough, it's not harsh enough, it's not violent enough, we need more immigrants put and less gays, people!
Something like that
Measles don’t care who you voted for or what your gender is.
Why is Texas, so Texan?
I'm sure the secretary of health will immediately help.
I can't wait to hear what the guidance will be on this, likely some form of victim-blaming MAGArs for not being anti-vax enough and eventually devolving into a witchhunt for "fake conservatives" that still drink pasteurized milk 😂
A very plausible outcome! I’m guessing the cost of methylene Blue is going to rise.
Slap some elderberry on those freckles!
Is measles the kind of vaccine you need boosters for? I got the usual growing up but if the plague rats are spreading it I’d like to stay safe…
Ask your doctor to perform a titer. That will check whether or not you still have antibodies against it. If no, you need a booster.
Yes. Adults need measles boosters
You probably should get an MMR booster, yes. Check DTP as well.
The poor kids that have no choice are the ones suffering here, not the asshole parents.
Let's keep that in mind.
I had it and as a child I had a few days I wanted to die for some mental relief.
Its pure torture.
So from the context of places visited, this is an unvaccinated (prospective) college student from the area that's currently experiencing an outbreak? I bet they were looking forward to finally leaving small town Texas and then this happens to them.
Oh, good. Three hours in crowded tourist attractions on a Saturday afternoon, and six hours in bars and restaurants on Friday and Saturday nights. Plus eight hours touring campuses just a couple weeks before spring "super-spreader" break - with a disease who's characteristic rash turns up around Day 14. This can only end well ...
Here's the thing with these anti-vaxx morons. Even if they contract measles and survive it (it can be dangerous in adults), you can sure as shit bet that they will not get the shingles vaccine once they hit 50. Shingles will fuck you up if you let it.
Just as God intended.
Found Jenny McCarthy’s Lemmy account
You may have misinterpreted the reply.
Oh shit.
Good.
Not good.
I don't care about the idiot parents, but the kids have no choice, a lot will suffer and some will die. All because their parents have believed a bunch of lies, no critical thinking was involved.
The idiot parents are most likely vaccinated because their parents weren't idiots
