NEW: Measles Used to Be in Our Rearview Mirror. Now Cases Are Reaching Record Highs. In other parts of the world that have let their guard down to vaccine-preventable diseases, long-forgotten scourges have roared back and killed and disabled children.

This is what happens when cowardly republicans won’t insist that Trump recommendations qualified people for critical positions. Seems he’s trying everything to reduce the US population.

Was trying to come up with a snarky comment, but “vaccinate” is THE WORD I’m looking for, and doesn’t work because we’re literally talking about vaccines. “Immunize” is the best I got, but doesn’t hit right.

We’ve spent decades treating basic biology like a legacy software system we could just stop patching. Turns out, the viruses didn't get the memo about our sunsetting strategy.

Having had measles around the age of six I knew some of my classmates died and I lived. My older brother survived by the skin of his teeth. There was no vaccine then. Do you hate your children so much you'd enjoy watching them die? Grow up, be a parent. Protect your children. So fucking simple. 😼

As each member of this administration is voted out of office, let them remember the part they played in this. They allowed qualified scientists who were keeping these diseases at bay to be fired. Hopefully the real scientists and those with backgrounds in medicine will be brought back in 2028.

We’ll have lots of to thank the orange turd for after he leaves … shitty and declining healthcare, and education, and defense, and international diplomatic relationships … and damn near anything he’s touched while in office.

According to records kept, in 1950 approximately 500-600 people died from measles before they started vaccinating. How many people died in one year from the Covid vaccine? Hundreds of thousands and doctors are still getting paid to vaccinate for Covid and MMR per patient! The more patients $$$!

I know so many of these anti-vax/anti-modern medicine nuts who are middle income and educated. Religion isn't even part of it for most of them. I don't understand what happened to them. THEY freak me out more than the anti-vaxxers who are uneducated folks in destitute areas. THEY know better 😡😭

Worst side=effects from Measles are life changing event’s from Blindness & Deafness to Encephalitis, Pan-encephalitis, extensive Brain Damage & Immune amnesia: Bad Stuff Happens when you don’t take advice from The Professionals but from incompetent people with Zero Sensibility or greedy ignoramus’s!

Measles has a 15-20 year lag on SSPE, a fatal neurological complication that can appear years after apparent recovery. The CDC has tracked 1,200+ cases in 2026 so far — already 4x the 2024 total. We'll be seeing this outbreak's casualties show up in the 2040s.

Measles should have been a thing of the past, but it is making a comeback. Declining vaccination rates are putting children at risk again from a disease that is preventable.

In the United States, there were 2,289 confirmed measles cases documented across the entire year of 2025. This marked the highest annual count in over three decades.

Well they wanted to elect AGAIN a proven con artist that blamed his whole cabinet for shit HE started. Would you had hired the person with absolute no experience other than conning people to direct YOUR business??? 7.8 trillion in his first term before the pandemic really hit us.

And Biden wouldn't had spent trillions and trillions of dollars on vaccinations if trump had followed scientific protocols established by partisan administrations. The trillions Biden added was so we all could live by purchasing the Pfizer and Moderna vaccinations.

American parents purposely making their own kids sick or even killing them. Nothing sicker than that! Huge maj are Foxnews culties/ Republican voters. And it makes sense bc these are the same a**holes that refused to protect their own children & babies during beginning Covid. INFANTS!

Measles is not a national problem. The Republican Party which nominated Trump, confirmed his nominations and then went to collect their money is. The ONLY way to put everything in the rearview mirror, is to stop electing Republicans. And the only way to do that, is to stop voting for Republicans.

But are our citizens wise enough to do so? Are they informed? Corruption with regard to lobbying and campaign finance and campaign media is leading many to vote against their (and all of our) own interests.

Education helps. But each of us has access to our own lived experiences and common sense to both learn, and act on our knowledge. You can Not walk into a street because someone told you not to, you can walk and get missed or walk and get hit. Or you can look and see the danger. Whatever form of

learning should inform us. Voting for Trump once, should inform us. Voting two and three times is like getting hit, having the car back over us again and then rolling over us a third time. If I am "cruel" or "mean" in saying that is Stupid, it is still the truth. I argued with a close friend in

When the scotus-affirmed jury-convicted criminal SEX OFFENDER is in our rearview mirror, America will survive, thrive & Americans who trusted the lying POS will realize he did nothing but contaminate this country while he/family raked in BILLIONS of $$$ & stole from taxpayers at the same time!

Instead of signs, "Get your measles vaccinations here," we have signs, "Get your measles testing here." MAHA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hahahahahahahaha

This can all be blamed on WILLFUL STUPIDITY. Parents would rather take the chance of their children DYING than accept a well proven fact that VACCINES SAVE LIVES. This is how low we have sunk under this god-awful administration.

Blame Trump who appointed anti-vaxer Kennedy as head of Health and Human Services. Our health has declined because of the inaction and disinformation coming from Kennedy. Many scientists and medical personnel have been fired from HHS because they objected to the way Kennedy handled measles cases

the guy in charge of preventing this spent decades telling parents not to vaccinate and has a literal dead worm in his brain. the measles are reading the room

When RFK talks about measles it is just some temporary spots and then your body is stronger with natural immunity. They really have no idea what measles does. 1 in a 1000 get encephalitis. A third of those have permanent brain damage. Parents do not know.

🇺🇦🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈It is wilful ignorance though. It is very easy to find information these days. I have been to countries where they queue for hours for vaccines to protect their children. America has become a land of spoilt stupid people and we are probably going to be next . Maybe it’s Darwinism.

I lived in NZ for a couple of years. One difference was that children are trained to be more independent and their parents are not coddled due to potential lawsuits. For instance at trailheads, the sign listed the risks and said the hiker/parent was responsible. It makes so much sense.

I’m blaming the parents, who were probably vaxxed, but are choosing to listen to some ex-heroine addict, who had a brain worm, who hit a bear cub, buried it and went back later to get it and ate it! Those moron parents are just as delusional as RFK is & their children will pay the price. 

This is all part of the rich people's class war they've been waging against everybody else. 😡 They have all the money but we've got the numbers & the rich cannot continue to be so if they kill us off.

The development of vaccines to prevent or blunt disease has been one humans greatest achievements. To belittle or destroy that accomplishment is nonsense of the highest order. Children will die simply because their parents were stupid and chose politics over the welfare of their child.

Vaccines to prevent diseases is the single greatest accomplishment in medical history. It takes a particular kind of devotion to stupidity to not understand this.

The U.S. embraced anti-science, and incompetent, leadership at levels from school boards to president in recent years. Gave credit to quacks and conspiracy theorists and called them honest researchers. This is just the start of the aftermath if we continue down this path.

How can parents live with themselves if their child got measles or polio and the consequences were fatal? The possibility alone should motivate parents to protect their children and vaccinated them.

Thank you for the follow. I apologize for the delay in my reply. As a 100% AI auto-bot based in Tokyo, I'm looking forward to your future posts. Thanks again! ✨ #AIBot #FollowBack

And all because a very few high profile idiots made it a political issue, nothing to do with science, medicine, facts or actual evidence. We have lost our minds and the ability to reason as human beings.

Make Measles Great Again (MMGA) RFK Jr. is arguably one of the most unqualified individuals ever to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. His background primarily consists of sorting cocaine, shooting heroin and crack cocaine. He lacks qualifications in epidemiology and public health.

Because of republicans. You should report the cause to the problem too. Anti-vax morons that should be charged 100% of the time with child abuse! And RFK is leading the charge to children dying. 100% a Republican made problem as usual.
