I am sure the people who hold measles parties will definitely listen to the government’s recommendations on health decisions.
Ya got measles? Bring the kids over! We got enough raw milk for all of y’all!
I think I heard if you drink raw milk with H15N while you have measles you get immunity to H15N!

It’ll continue to spread, as well. Last Friday, someone with contagious measles spent hours touring 2 Texas campuses, hours in college bars and restaurants, and hours in crowded tourist attractions. Next Friday, one of those colleges starts spring break - and it takes 2 weeks for the rash to start showing up. Some of those college students will have caught measles and will go on spring break, where they’ll spread measles to other spring breakers. Three weeks from now, there’ll be outbreaks in every state in the Union.
If you weren’t vaxxed, you were under-vaxxed, not sure if you got vaxxed, or think the vax might not have taken, now it’s an excellent time to get vaxxed.
It depends on how badly we’ve fallen under herd immunity, but it does seem likely.
You can catch measles by entering a room, such as a classroom, where another student had measles two hours before.
Unvaccinated people are going to pay for the ignorance of their parents real soon.
Unvaccinated, immunocompromised and babies under 2 years old are at risk. Vaccination is a collective effort to protect the most vulnerable.
People born after 1957 and vaxxed before 1967 (vax was less effective), people who only got a single shot until the mid-70’s (accidentally under-vaxxed), immune compromised/suppressed …

If accurate, this person belongs in fucking prison
I doubt they knew they had it at that time.
They were almost certainly unvaccinated though.
So do you want to start imprisoning everyone that isn’t vaccinated? Do you want to do it when they’re still a child or the day they turn 18?
mortality rate of 3% for unvaccinated kids.
gonna be a lot of depression-era grieving going on.
Can’t wait to see conservative morons saying “hurr durr 3% isn’t even that high of a percent”
Measles wipes your immune system as well. You’ll be having a miserable next decade or longer getting sick from everything again.
as always the price is paid by those without a choice
truth
People focus on mortality too while failing to account for the sorts of lifelong disabilities viruses like these cause when you do survive them. Absolutely sickening.
Mmr and chickenpox both can cause Temporary infertility in men, if you catch it later. It because it causes inflammation in your tubes of the testes
the lifelong disabilities will be awful
I don’t want to know that stat butttt do you know that stat? I’m curious anyway
20 to 30% have some form of complications, it’s particularly severe in the vulnerable, very young, very old and compromised immune systems.
I don’t think that includes the general weakened immune system that a lot of people experience after the measles, children apparently lose 12 to 73% of their antibodies following a mild measles infection.
it’s highly transmissible, 9 out of 10 people who are exposed and unvaccinated will get it.
https://www.idsociety.org/public-health/measles/know-the-facts/
there are a ton of stats and a ton of complications that can occur with measles, so it’s difficult to find one comprehensive number for everything, but everyone who is unvaccinated will probably get it after less than 90% of the population is vaccinated, 20 to 30% will develop complications, a lot of those are going to be permanent. and even the temporary complications can last for years.
We don’t have more recent data because it was eradicated so rapidly in 3 years after the vaccine was introduced, but prospects sure don’t look good for dumb families and whichever population they’re poisoning.
On the topic on non-mortal cases, this CDC page says the hospitalization rate for 2025 has been 20% (30% for <5 year olds)
3 percent of kids dead is a small price to pay for Texans to not have to reevaluate how they make decisions.
They’ll never stop defending their right to let others die for their obstinacy.
If we got the vaccine as a kid, we’re good to go, right?
If you were born before 1989 then you may have only been vaccinated a single time; a second dose takes the vaccine effectiveness from 93% to 97%.
So if you’ve don’t have access to your childhood vaccine records, then as other have suggested asking you doctor to run titers for measles is the best way to protect yourself.
You should have had two, and yes. It’s 97% effective for life, typically.
Most likely, but the chance of getting it anyway isn’t zero.
95% coverage for life and even if you get it, it would likely be very mild. Pre-1989 is 93% coverage IIRC.
Saw a headline that the MMR vaccine may be reduced in effectiveness after 40-ish years. It’s all breaking news since people being so backwards as to not be vaccinated in numbers to allow this kind of study to even materialize in a world that has a proven cure is certainly recent.
I got an MMR vaccine at 40 for a job, and only had to because my records from small town Canada weren’t available from my childhood vaccinations.
Crazy to me that it might actually matter.
I know I had at least one shot as a baby/child/whenever it was appropriate in the 70’s. Then the Air Force gave me the MMR vax before deploying in the '00s just for good measure. Much appreciated now.
You can ask to have your titers checked. I did mine about 5 years ago when it first started being reported that dipshits were doing their best to bring back measles and I was still well in the immune range but I’m glad I had it done. I had to tell my doctor I was traveling internationally to a country with lower vax rates (I was) to get him to agree, but I’d imagine doctors would be happy to check now.
Depends the year you were born and where, of you had the latest vaccine and with 2 doses then it supposed to provide 97% protection. Though it all really depends how is your immune system. If you have immune condition you might need a booster.
Yeah, you now have Autism
Trains or something IDK
a lot of our ASD students are really into pro wrestling too
I wanted to add:
Asking for my autism /s
But was scared lol.
“Take me to the gauges and dials. No eye contact.”
Choo choo motherfucker
Well you know what they say…what doesn’t kill you makes you have fewer cells that produce antibodies.
Wow. Texas out-Texases Texas.
Thinning the herd.
Culling the herd
Bye bye Texans, it was not nice knowing ya’ll
Unfortunately, it wont stay contained to the people who are doing it. Kids will die, across the world, because of these anti-vacs people.
The majority of assholes in these areas are still vaccinated, unfortunately. It’s the kids that will be suffering, from the decisions of their parents. If disease would eradicate the unvaccinated quickly enough to wipe out the texas undesirables, we wouldn’t have had the current election outcome in the first place.
Was it, though?
Have fun fighting a culture war against pathogens, Texas
They’re just unaware that a war against a culture of microorganisms is an entirely different thing.
Republicans think can win a war against viruses and bacteria,

That was going to happen anyways.
Not if it is eradicated, like it was until this lunacy cropped up.
Ya know when Conservatives died of Covid in massive numbers because they kept refusing to intentionally antagonize the people fighting Covid and every restriction put in place against it the only thing going through my head was
“I hope enough of them kicked the bucket to make Republicans unelectable so that tragedies like this can’t happen again.”
Guess what’s going through my head now?
I’m sad that it’s children paying the price though. They don’t have any say in anything. It’s child abuse to intentionally infect them with a preventable disease.
And the parents surely won’t blame themselves.
If only we stopped Miss Teacherlady from showing little Billy that Rainbow Flag, then maybe God would have loved him enough to save him from the Communist Measles… sigh
Seriously, there’s nothing wrong with having a religion (Despite what r/Atheism thinks), the problem is when you think it’s the answer to every question.
What the fuck is it that makes these people turn into lemmings as soon as Trump is in office?
And yes, I know Disney staged the whole lemmings jumping off a cliff thing, but the analogy stands, so don’t fuckin’ @ me.
Measles? No no no, we’re talking America here, you mean
