What if you take the measles virus, weaken it and infect people with that?
OMG, that’s an awesome idea! Someone should try that!
Bobby didn’t invent that first, so he’s not interested. MAGA are not followers, they are leaders! /s
Leading in kids with measles, AND kids dead from measles.
Eh, measles weasels. what’s the difference, am I right?
Measle Weasel is a pretty catchy nickname. But I like weasels and I don’t think they deserve to be associated with a paramecium like him.
That’s how you get autism.
What if we give people a weakened form of autism, so their body learns to resist it?
What if I already have it? Do I get super autism?
uberautism, thank you very much. You’ve got to use fancy foreign words to make your mark, don’t ya know¿
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
My local blood bank already wanted to know about any possible contact I might have had with Americans.
“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.
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce the United States Secretary of Health!
I prefer Secretary Brainworm. It’s the only way I’ll refer to him now.
Can the US rename the position to Secretary of Death? It sounds much cooler and is more fitting.
No, what would be better is if that guy got a bad case of my backhand across his mouth every time he opens it.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah but those statistics are before we discovered horse paste
Coming up: It would be better if ‘Everybody got Polio’.
Next week Trump will be at the White House promoting the new Telsa Iron Lung.
Okay brainworm, go intentionally get the measles and let us watch you for the next 6 months so we see how safe it is.
he made sure the children of SAMOA got measles, and about 86+ died from it, when he convinced the govt to stop vaccinations.
