Fun fact, there’s a very strong geographical correlation between the measles outbreak and rates of antivaxers declining to vaccinate their kids.
“Fun” in the “omg it’s awful people are that fucking stupid” sense.
Also. Fuck RFK JR.

Just a reflection of how huge portions of the US has been brainwashed and part of a cult. It's why appeals to logic never work anymore.
And perhaps that's because education and healthcare are both massively monetized in the US, and Simpleton Jr. out there in the middle of nowhere isn't gonna bring anyone any profit, so they're blissfully forgotten until they want their vote.
“The church isn’t the reason that they’re not vaccinated,” Anton said. “It’s all personal choice and you can do whatever you want. It’s just that the community doesn’t go and get regular health care.”
Antivaxxer dipshits finding out.
No its their kids finding out unfortunately
This. Most antivaxxer dipshits are vaccinated because their parents were smarter than that.
They weren't smarter, but they or their parents experienced first hand what life was like before the vaccines.
Nowadays we're horrified when a baby dies, and rightfully so. Way back when, that was just another Monday...
I was trying to do the math on that one because my parents didn't really tell me anything about mass epidemics, but I didn't realize that the measles vaccine wasn't introduced until 1963, when both of my parents were already toddlers.
Leopards eating my face!? Never!
Republicans are responsible for social murder
And pretty soon with Bobby Brainworm in charge of that aspect of the government, the antivax dipshittery that's so rife in medically backward places like Texas will spread (like an unchecked contagion) across the nation.
Yaaaay!
This fucking timeline.
Thank your local republican. 👍
Just wait until bird flu fully crosses over to humans…
I'm here for it. I felt horrible when all the antimasker antivaxxer freedumb people were dying for nothing during Covid, but I'm all out of fucks to give.
When they start dying in the millions, I'm gonna be jerkin it on the daily.
I don't think you understand how deadly bird flu is. If bird flu reaches pandemic levels we will need burn pits for the bodies
We had those for Covid too.
JFC, what's wrong with me? My first thought when reading that was, "Ooh! Maybe then I'll finally be able to find a job again!"
That's why they are hiding the data.
The rich do not want us plebs anymore. There are way too many of us for their liking. Time to cull the herd.
after all the deaths, Black plague did wonders for the working class. They should have just allowed bc and abortions. That's more humane.
I don't think so. The ones getting culled are exactly the unquestioning, obedient, simple types they want to keep.
I'm gonna be jerking it on the daily
I mean, don't let me marsh your mellow.
Why do you think bird flu will only kill people who don't believe in vaccines? Even if there is a vaccine for it (which I don't think there is right now), a virus circulating freely due to large numbers of unvaccinated people, antimaskers, etc. will kill all kinds of people, not just the antivax/antimask people. This is what we saw with COVID, and bird flu will be a lot worse.
I'm wondering if it might have. Just about everyone I know has been destructively I'll in the past couple weeks (myself included), and everyone's just chalking it up to a seasonal flu and carrying on.
"Worst so far"
ist that the same place all the tech crooks go to apease trump? i am sure texas is the next wuhan.
I wonder how long before other countries will not allow Americans to visit...
Looking at the reaction to COVID 5 years ago, too long.
Maybe RFK should go to Texas for a bit. How ironic would it be for him to get measles.
Well, this problem should rectify itself given enough time...
I can imagine the idiot driven clarion call to fight the communists / Libs etc. who want you to poison your bodies, modify your DNA, be chipped etc by a simple vaccination. Those idiots put everyone at risk
