First death from this #measles outbreak occurred today. CDC case tracker began weekly updates starting with 93 cases on Friday. By the end of the Friday there were at least 105 known cases. 139 since Tuesday, but CDC tracker still shows 93. By the time it updates this Friday, expect 180-200 cases.

Just got an alert on my phone that a child who lives in my county was coming home from a trip to Korea flying into LA airport was infected. They were warning anyone in that terminal that day should be aware. This is going to get out of control very fast.

Yeah. Too bad we're led by people who never got to do what they're passionate about but instead channeled all that frustration and disappointment into being rich assholes who ruin others lives... Musk and Trump just wanted to be popular entertainers, instead they're just despised, sad, rich guys.

Yeah, tell me, would letting millions of Americans just die help their cause? Like reset capitalism so that it lasts longer? I dunno, why do i feel like they're just gearing up to allow massive deaths and sickness.

Sure, but even sociopaths want something. What do they gain? I can't wrap my head around anything being so important that I'd allow suffering to have it. And not just that but "more", because they're already fuckin rich. Assholes.

Don't you think there needs to be a very specific PSA about what vaccines are and precisely how they work - for all the ridiculous antivaxxers out there? Seems like the medical scientists need to GET LOUD.

And the FDA has now cancelled their meeting to select the flu strains for next season's vaccines - twice in the last three weeks. The Regime does not care who dies.

I swear these conservative christian clowns are trying to lower the US population significantly by deliberately killing the old, the sick, and the poor. Okay, just humor me for a second, if they really were trying to reduce the population significantly tell me, what would they be doing differently?

RFK JR is a nutcase. Cancelling trial for Covid pill, Flu update, etc. Trump is a lunatic who I seriously think is trying to destroy America and his cabinet are made up of dopes. People picked randomly on Bluesky would be as qualified and do a better job!! Insanity...

With a yuge thanks to the asshole now in charge of our health. We are fucked. They just stopped the development of a Covid vax by pill and called off meeting to determine the strains for next year's flu vax. If RFK, jr has his way, there will be NO vax. Period.

This might just be natural selection at this point. Although we may need to actually stop trans state movement if it gets bad to ensure people entering are vaccinated. Also need to pray these viruses don’t mutate.

So one over wealthy guy figured out how to band together more of the same to fuck us. Why can’t you and your friends counter it? It’s not a politics game anymore. It’s all about the wealthy

It's the price of freedom. Kinda like...freedom to not wear a seatbelt (several people a year die in crashes BECAUSE they were wearing a seatbelt, several). The important thing is the freedom.

When will polio make a return? The overall level of stupid that exists in our general population is overwhelming! Not vaccinating your child is one of the simplest things you can do to keep your child happy, healthy, alive.

Enough. I don't care about the details anymore. Article II, Section 4: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." It's time. #impeachnow

I would hope you audience is beyond Measles, a well-known problem. Stay on stuff like will companies follow states and use DOGE as an excuse to lay off workers and follow Tariffs as a reason to raise prices

Yep, new case in Kentucky just popped up, flue vaccine advisory board meeting canceled, and stop put on new COVID vaccine development. lot of people are gonna die

It’s constantly amazing to me that the GOP can implement policies like vaccine denial that will kill their followers and not only will their followers buy in, they won’t ever hold the GOP accountable for getting them killed. It’s insane.

Trump facilitated deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans during Covid. He didn't act for three . Watch out his administration can escape responsibility for this just like the escaped responsibility for Covid deaths. There is no justice for this man.😔😔😔😔😔
