I had measles as a child in the 1960s. I had to wear sun glasses indoors even though the blinds were shut and curtains drawn; still a glare. High fever, rash, respiratory infection, weakness. Just terrible. Made the Hong Kong flu look like a picnic.

Just a reminder: with an incubation period of 10+ days and contagiousness around 6x COVID, measles “confirmed cases” is a trailing indicator. There are *way* more cases out there.

And the complications that aren’t fatal can be disabling. A relative of mine was profoundly disabled after contracting measles at a young age, prior to the vaccine. Her parents cared for her into their own old age.

I wonder if big pharma will ever acknowledge the extent to which their own history of unethical policies and actions have contributed to the decline of vaccination rates. Companies brought real, measurable devastation in poor and under-represented populations; lack of trust is a grim consequence.

Measles is NOT just a benign annoying rashy virus that kids get. It can be fatal and have serious repercussions. RJK Jr is a Quack and NO ONE should listen to him!!

Remember reading "Guns, Germs and Steel"?

Young AND old.

It is not chicken pox. Another highly infectious disease,but it doesn't kill like measles does. They used to have chicken pox parties. Never measles parties. Now people get vaccinated,& we eradicated these diseases. so we didn't have these worries. We really are going backwards. Aren't we?

My mother, was one of 12. Only 10 grew to adulthood. 2 died at home, in different years, both before turning 3, due to Measles causing Pneumonia. Mother was older than them by a decade and their deaths stuck with her all her life. They were my Aunt Joan and Uncle Joseph.

The real danger is (among other things) the immune amnesia. We have so many viruses just floating around that it’s really dangerous.

é irresponsável e deviam ser degolados os antivacinas em todo o mundo.

Although rare, measles can cause infections leading to encephalitis or menengitis. Measles can lead to miscarriage in pregnant women. Measles can cause blindness. Everyone doesn't have the same reaction to a disease. I wish these dummkopfs would stop downplaying how serious this outbreak is.

I saw my first person with measles this week.... Lifetime first.

The six year old little girl who just recently died in Texas had measles…the pneumonia it caused killed her.

#Measles can cause blindness. I had both kinds as a child before the vaccine was introduced. I had excruciating pain, was blindfolded, malnourished. Given yucky cod liver oil, my chest slathered with goose fat. I had pneumonia several times. I have a benign tumor on an eye that distorts vision.
