    “Dont trust the medical institutions until you’re sick” is just the self-harm logical extension version of the plague of right-wing myopia of broke self-reliance americanism and detriment individualism. American culture is completely unsalvageable

    The dems really need to appoint a shadow cabinet and hold press conferences with fact checks and useful advice about how to get vaccinated.

    I’m glad that I am science literate and live close to the canadian border.

    Let the entirety of the US have measles, and a good percentage will die, another good part will be scarred for life and have disabilities from it and the country will collapse

    • Measles estimated case-fatality rate: 1.3%
    • Estimated US population: 346,715,067
    • Measles deaths if everyone in the US got measles: 4,507,295
    • Upper limit on estimated MMR vaccine caused anaphylaxis: 0.000066%
    • Anaphylaxis case-fatality rate: 0.3%
    • Estimated vaccine-caused fatality rate: 1.98 * 10^-7 %
    • Estimate vaccine-caused fatalities avoided by not vaccinating US population: 0.69
    • Net increase in fatalities from switching to measles natural immunity for everyone in the US: 4,507,294

    So it would only be better if he wants an extra 4.5 million Americans to die.

      Measles also resets your immune system, making other illnesses deadly again.

      Back in the day you’d survive Smallpox, then get Measles, then get Smallpox again.

      These days, I guess it will be Covid and the Flu killing most people.

      Well I was told that deporting people would solve the housing crisis. Since that isn’t working out killing 4.5 million Americans seems like their fallback position.

        I was about to say, the collapse of the hospital system under the burden of both measles and all the other reasons people will still need hospitals will multiply that percentage.

    No RFK, things would be much better if YOU got measles

    With you gone, people could vaccinate again and then they wouldn’t get sick, you worm for brains

    Dumb son of a bitch doesn’t even understand that a vaccine is “giving someone the disease” without killing them. God damn are we devolving that fast?

    We are in such a crazy timeline.

    This is the kind of shit you’d see on some forum. If the forum was moderated, they’d eventually get booted.

    When I was debating fucking morons like this, I never suspected that one of these assholes would be put in charge of our fucking health. It’s just so insane.

    When measles propaganda from our lizard overlords at “Daily Beast” masks mass-culling programs, trust only medieval-era natural immunity. The only good vaccine is no vaccine.
