“The measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

If only there was another proven way of doing this without the risk of serious complications of getting sick.

    Or what of there was some way to give everyone a tiny dose of the measles so that their immune system can learn it and attack it without even getting sick??

    Maybe if they make the virus weakened or figure out some way to deactivate it?

    Gosh, someone should work on this. It’s a great idea…

      We’ve got a 100% true-American patriot company willing to do the invovled research, testing, and manufacturing involved in this endeavor, and it will only cost the taxpayers $500 billion dollars.

      Then Predisent Trump can say he’s wiped out measles.

      How will that serve the interests of the eugenicists who believe disease is a powerful tool of ethnic cleansing and of purging people with disabilities?

    2 doses spaced 28 days apart gives 97% efficacy against ever catching the measles. 1 dose gives 93%. If 95% of the population gets a vaccination the disease is functionally eradicated

    But take the words of a Kennedy who spent his youth as an elite committing petty crime, vandalism, theft, and dealing drugs despite having access to extreme wealth. His reward for continually fucking up was a Harvard education and an illustrious law career. Who then started a 15 year heroin and cocaine addiction and by his words kicked it after getting busted for possession the first time in his life (aka the first time he managed to experience a consequence, which took shockingly long). And of course we believe that like all heroin addicts he was able to just kick a decade and a half addiction after one round of rehab through straight willpower, despite have access to connections and some of the deepest pocketbooks in the country

    The man has been full of shit since his teens. It is a shame because his family appears to have given him the circumstances to utterly ruin him via consistently giving no consequence for terrible behavior. At the same time I have little sympathy for him because unlike many of us peons who struggle with families that give poor boundaries and no consequences, his artificially removed them because they had access to obscene wealth and privilege. He didn’t have to worry about doing heroin, or assaulting women, or stealing shit. Dad would take care of it. All while living in luxury. Fuck him. I will continue to post defaming his character because people posting “worm in his brain” truly don’t get the extent of how much of a monster he is or the Kennedy dynasty is (look up rosemary kennedy for more Kennedy atrocities)

    Man if only we could have measles but like a less deadly version so we could train our bodies to fight the actual thing.

    I still can’t fathom that the US has a guy who eats roadkill and had a brainworm - the two of which might be connected - as their secretary of health.

    Maybe we could make a weakened form of the virus that would give you immunity without getting you sick? That way everyone could get measles without a lot of people dying.

    We could call it “a vaccine.”

      And what if this “weakened form” gives you autism? Have you thought about that?

      Edit: guess this needed a ‘\s’

        Well gee, if that were a possibility, we could do research to see if that was the case, like multiple times, each time showing that it’s NOT THE FUCKING CASE. Autism DOES NOT result from measles vaccination.

        The MMR Vaccine and Autism https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6768751/

        Does Vaccination Increase the Risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9464417/ Conclusions

        According to our review, there is no link between the development of ASD and immunization. The dramatic increase in the prevalence of ASD created widespread concern. Many theories have been offered to explain the link between vaccination and the development of autism, including changes in immune system function, abnormal organic acid synthesis, mercury toxicity, the effects of gliamorphin on cerebral function, and the link between MMR and autism. However, all these theories remain theoretical, and our review finds no evidence of a link between them and the development of autism. Parents experienced vaccination reluctance following the release of the Wakefield study on the supposed MMR vaccine-autism relationship. It raises concern and challenges vaccine acceptance among parents, leading to the re-emergence of vaccine-preventable diseases. It still raises concern in some parents; we recommend that public health officials continue to advocate and encourage vaccination. The public may require more studies to rule out the association between ASD and vaccination.

      Didn’t you hear?! Harris was 100% on board with killing all the Palestinians!

      Even though she wasn’t but that doesn’t matter because all voting is corrupt and doesn’t mean anything.

        Harris’ policies didn’t sufficiently match my personal preferences, so I voted for the guy who hates me.
