    FYI even if you have been vaccinated you may still need to get a booster.

    TDLR: if you were vaccinated in the 1960s you may need a whole new course of boosters. Also, if you were vaccinated before 1989, you may need one additional shot, since the 2-shot model wasn’t recommended by the CDC until then.

    Stay safe out there folks.

    Good.

    Let them die, they are getting everything they wished for. Would have been so nice if they’d only had the brains to recognize what they were wishing for but alas, here we are.

    I feel nothing for you beyond that you’re a cancer on this world and it’s immune system just kicked in

        Yeah but these kids will grow up exactly like their parents, paying it forward every generation. If we can’t save them, then I won’t care about them either.

        That, or we start doing forced vaccinations, which I’m a huge proponent of. You vaccinate or get deported to a remote island where you can stay until you die.

        I’m so done with these people

        Magats beget more Magats more often than not so they’re probably doing us a favor in the long run. And besides, do you wanna be the one to tell those parents how to raise their kids? I’m sure that’ll go over real well with them.

        Let’s all just do as they say. Ya know, put our faith in the Lord’s hands and trust that he works in “mysterious” ways to fulfill his plan :>

          Sure kids will have some world view influence from their parents, but they don’t have the tools to understand what’s going on or authority to decide and also the ones that suffer. On top of that it seems like the parents that lost their child so far had no regrets and only doubled down.

          It’s a lose lose situation

    Skimmed the article and had to back glance at the Moscow School District. Had to double check I was still in Kansas. No wonder Dorothy was so damn confused

    Honestly I only feel bad for the children. Every single one of those parents had a decision to do the best for their child and chose not to do this. So I feel bad for the kids, but hope (very thin sliver) that some of those parents wake up and realize that they fucked up.

    PSA, if you are worried, have your physician order an antibody titer. It essentially measures the amount of anti-MMR antibodies in your blood to ensure you are immune.

    I didn’t know arstechnica wrote articles outside of tech stuffs. Apparently the measles case was on their front page as their most viewed article.

      Vaccines, as we know thanks to the government, are mostly about nutrition, elimination of fluoride in the water and UV light from the sun.

    I bet they’re having measles parties so it does actually spread thinking it’ll just go away like a cold
