The republican party has some major interest in spreading measles. They may be getting financial kickback from healthcare organizations to ensure more people end up in hospitals, driving up medical debt. Or they’re devils in human form. It’s hard to tell.
wouldnt it contradict insurance, since they dont want to payout for a patients healthcare, so they would support vaccinations because then they do not actually spend insurance money on someone thats in a hospital. kaiser does this, they are all in on prevention methods over actual services. the ones that would benefit would be pharmceutical charging for thier lifesave drugs.
It’s both.
The brainworm has spoken.
I wonder if he is volunteering to get measles
What if you take the measles virus, weaken it and infect people with that?
But how would you infect people?
You could inject it into people? I don’t think that’s ever been done before
Hmm, I dunno, that sounds like something a drugged up hippie might do with their marijuanas.
But wait… what if we dissolve it into liquid and put it in a syringe?
and do it like a heroin user would.
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¿
That’s a stupid idea. God created this virus as a test of our own faith. You can’t weaken it. (someone around me might say)
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.
his worms arnt interested.
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.
Yeah but those statistics are before we discovered horse paste
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!”
I did not know that and thinking of that stuff like this is possible is fucking scary.
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.
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.
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.
More or less than taxifs and SS on Ice?
They do try to destroy the country in every possible way. At this point they just want to make sure it’s really dead.
Yes, but how many are saved from autism and brain worms?
Depends. How much road kill do they eat?
Guys, if you live in Magastan, talk to your doctors, ask them to give you any shot they can of anything that needs a booster over time (or that you miss) and do it ASAP. If a new pandemic from a new virus comes, you’ll be fucked, but at least you won’t be if what you suffer is an epidemic of a fucking preventable disease.
Already did! They can’t ban my blood from helping others now, can they!
It would be better if this guy fucks off.
“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!
Can the US rename the position to Secretary of Death? It sounds much cooler and is more fitting.
He doesn’t deserve “cooler.” How about the Secretary of Infection?
Why stop at one, give him all the names like: insecurities, delusions, irresponsibility etc.
Pure meritocracy, I tells ya
I prefer Secretary Brainworm. It’s the only way I’ll refer to him now.
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.
And the Darwin Award goes to…
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 you first buddy
Weasel: “I. Have. MEASLES!”
To be fair, he didn’t say it’d be better for the humans
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.
