“It used to be, when I were a kid, that everybody got measles. And the measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” he said, then taking a swipe at the vaccine. “The vaccine doesn’t do that. The vaccine is effective for some people for life, but for many people it wanes.”
“Some”=97%, “Many”=3%
And you know what the vaccine also doesn’t do? Kill you!I love how they say shit like “it wanes” as though that’s a reason to not get it. Like, just get a fucking booster and you’re good.
For real, I thought he was going to name something of actual consequence even if it wasn’t true like, “it makes your head explode.” But, “it wanes”??? Uh ok, it wanes so some people might get measles anyway. Isn’t that just problem solved then since you think infection is good? Completely nonsensical.
MTG pulled this stupid shit promoting “measles parties”. For the younger folks, let me explain.
Parents used to deliberately infect their kids with chicken pox. No big deal for litte 'uns, big deal when you’re older. (Got it at 16, still have the scars 40-years later. And yes, I’m up on my shingles vaccine.)
These people are so dumb they’re conflating chicken pox and measles. Fuck me, I’m just now learning about measles because that shit was gone when I was a child. It was like polio or smallpox, unheard of.
Weasel: “I. Have. MEASLES!”
The brainworm has spoken.
I wonder if he is volunteering to get measles
Rest of the world should ban Americans from coming in. Who knows what kinds of diseases they might be carrying.
Unvaccinated and the idiots won’t even wear masks either
Or parasites
My local blood bank already wanted to know about any possible contact I might have had with Americans.
I remember when we weren’t a developing country

2015… If you want to write up some big long thing about how we’ve always been awful, can you just not?
underdeveloped country.
Okay brainworm, go intentionally get the measles and let us watch you for the next 6 months so we see how safe it is.
Unfortunately, he’s almost certainly vaccinated against measles, because his parents were sane people
he made sure the children of SAMOA got measles, and about 86+ died from it, when he convinced the govt to stop vaccinations.
Ah, measles. Nature’s Ultimate Antivaxxer.
Oh wow, didn’t know that. Where’s this text from?
Immune by Philipp Dettmer of Kurzgesat. Highly recommended reading…and watching.
God I can’t wait for this season of South Park
I really hate that this motherfucker gets government-funded health care now, because every nasty-ass virus he gets is not only going to be well-treated, but actively buried.
I’m sure he had bonkers good healthcare before anyway. His name is Robert Fucking Kennedy Jr…
A true Republican. Anything that amplifies imbeciles and keeps poor people poor is the priority. Control the conversation of the masses with an endless string of stupidity so that they never think for themselves and take reasonable action. They can’t collectivise with no time to think.
Okay you first buddy
And the Darwin Award goes to…
Cool. I can’t wait for my immunocompromised friend to die of a preventable disease that we had eradicated in the US until this year.
what a jackass
To illustrate how fucking insane this is:
Measles has a death rate of 1-2 per 1000 cases. With US population at 340,000,000, that means 340,000 - 680,000 dead. And that’s out of the 85 million people hospitalized, which would be a society destroying situation.

Not only that but measles can cause immune amnesia! Which is when “the immune system forgets how to fight off infections it successfully dealt with before—and [research] showed that this effect lasts for years!”
not only forgets, but the measles infects the dendritic cells which presents antigens to T-cells(i thought it was b-cells) which fights the viruses, so its actually immunosuppression.
I did not know that and thinking of that stuff like this is possible is fucking scary.
Yes, but how many are saved from autism and brain worms?
Depends. How much road kill do they eat?
lmao, imagining RFK scooping up some roadkill, preparing it and having a bbq all in pleasure at the top and causal Friday at the bottom with his cute blue jeans, is hilarious and idiotic at the same time.

More or less than taxifs and SS on Ice?

And that’s just death, measles also creates life long conditions, some that appear years or decades after. For example the way he speaks, his disease is linked to childhood measles ironically.
Also another bad thing about makes is that it can reset your immune system, so now other diseases that you didn’t have to be afraid before now can be deadly.
They do try to destroy the country in every possible way. At this point they just want to make sure it’s really dead.
Measles has a death rate of 1-2 per 1000 cases
Oh, its much worse. That’s the death rate for people who get treated, in a vaccinated population in a modern hospital. In low-income countries (or in, say, places with 85 million hospitalizations) over 20 out of a thousand people die. And in displaced refugee children, it can rocket up to 3 out of every 10 infected children dying.
