I want all of the anti-vax folks to be fired by their doctors.

Why would they "fire" their most lucrative patients?

With the measles cases at around 124 now, of course there is an internet push of disinformation by the anti-vaccine groups. Apparently the measles vaccine itself is responsible for the outbreak according to the Childrens' Defense Fund (the anti-vaccine group from which RFK Jr withdrew after being tabbed as Secretary). The Texas Dept. of Health has actually been testing all the cases and they've all been a known wild type strain and not the vaccine but health officials are going to be fighting on two fronts in trying to stop the spread.

Has Rogan weighed in on this?

My first reacting is to say, “Let them die,” and that’s wrong.  Lotsa kids out there unvaxxed because their parents are stupid.  (While many of those same parents were vaxxed by their own parents.). So the big losers here will be children.

I've got an almost 10 month old that can't get the MMR vaccine yet. Do we fucking hide her away? I've got a Texas Exes event in Katy to play at this weekend and we want to bring her! But there's definitely a big overlap on venn diagram for "antivax", "bucees" and "Katy"

WTF is wrong with you Travis County? It isn't MAGA central

Way to tell us you've never heard of "horseshoe theory" and how dipshit granola hippies and MAGAs overlap on the dumbest things.  The lowest vax rates are in either public school districts that have a high hippie dippie population, or public school districts in hard MAGA areas and private schools (if you see "Christian Academy" in the name of the school, the vax rate will be below 70%).

Had someone tell me yesterday that the cause of the measles and tuberculosis outbreak was because of all the illegals coming over here... 

The irony being that Mexico and Central America have stellar vax rates.  And our border counties have vax rates that put them near the top of the state.

The problem isn't brown people.  The problem is almost entirely breathtakingly stupid white people.

Unvaccinated school aged child according to this link out of Lubbock: https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/measles-outbreak/first-death-reported-in-west-texas-measles-outbreak/

An unvaccinated school-aged child who was hospitalized with measles has passed away, marking the first death in the outbreak, according to Lubbock and state health officials.

Devastating.  Hopefully this changes some parents' minds.  

It won't change a goddamned thing.  The dead kids actually tell us how right the anti-vaxxers are.

Have a conversation with your pediatrician; IIRC, they will sometimes give infants <1 year a killed vaccine or some other type of inoculation that isn't quite as robust as the regular MMR, but during an outbreak can give some immunity. Since I'm hazy on the deets, talk to your doctor about it...

The infant is 10 months old and most maternal immunity (even if breastfed) tends to wane by 5-6 months IIRC. It isn't a hard and fast condition, but some of the studies have indicated that measles immunity is usually nil by the earlier time frame I listed. Which is why infants can be severely affected--they normally don't get the first shot until 12-15 months of age, second shot around kindergarten age.

God's will be done.

Edit to add: the CDC suggests giving infants 6-11 months one dose of the MMR (NOT the MMRV) if traveling internationally, so it's possible to go ahead if the situation in Texas worsens.

Even if they are immigrants from across the border.

Shit, any proof the mennonites are citizens? Started in Germany, went to Russia's plains, to the US, to Mexico, back to the US. That is a lot of anchor babies.

At first, my interest was piqued. Then I remembered what the average Bucees customer looks like. I am no longer piqued.

Now 89.6% of kindergarteners are fully vaccinated in Travis County, 94.8% in Williamson County, 95.1% in Hays County, 94.9% in Bastrop County and 96.9% in Caldwell County. 

 

The far left have been leery of vaccines for a lot longer than the far right have.

True.  Both groups are overwhelmingly populated by idiots.

You’ve probably stumbled across a public sex stall at Bucees and didn’t realize it.

Maybe they're too dumb to do the research or just ask questions?

They are all public sex stalls. Glory holes in every one. They are owned by aggy.
