What if you take the measles virus, weaken it and infect people with that?
OMG, that’s an awesome idea! Someone should try that!
Bobby didn’t invent that first, so he’s not interested. MAGA are not followers, they are leaders! /s
Leading in kids with measles, AND kids dead from measles.
Eh, measles weasels. what’s the difference, am I right?
Measle Weasel is a pretty catchy nickname. But I like weasels and I don’t think they deserve to be associated with a paramecium like him.
his worms arnt interested.
That’s how you get autism.
What if we give people a weakened form of autism, so their body learns to resist it?
What if I already have it? Do I get super autism?
uberautism, thank you very much. You’ve got to use fancy foreign words to make your mark, don’t ya know¿
That’s a stupid idea. God created this virus as a test of our own faith. You can’t weaken it. (someone around me might say)
But how would you infect people?
You could inject it into people? I don’t think that’s ever been done before
Hmm, I dunno, that sounds like something a drugged up hippie might do with their marijuanas.
But wait… what if we dissolve it into liquid and put it in a syringe?
and do it like a heroin user would.
Okay, that’s way too extreme. That’s how you get herpes.
through a metal syringe type instrument into the muscle.
To illustrate how fucking insane this is:
Measles has a death rate of 1-2 per 1000 cases. With US population at 340,000,000, that means 340,000 - 680,000 dead. And that’s out of the 85 million people hospitalized, which would be a society destroying situation.
Not only that but measles can cause immune amnesia! Which is when “the immune system forgets how to fight off infections it successfully dealt with before—and [research] showed that this effect lasts for years!”
not only forgets, but the measles infects the dendritic cells which presents antigens to T-cells(i thought it was b-cells) which fights the viruses, so its actually immunosuppression.
I did not know that and thinking of that stuff like this is possible is fucking scary.
Measles has a death rate of 1-2 per 1000 cases
Oh, its much worse. That’s the death rate for people who get treated, in a vaccinated population in a modern hospital. In low-income countries (or in, say, places with 85 million hospitalizations) over 20 out of a thousand people die. And in displaced refugee children, it can rocket up to 3 out of every 10 infected children dying.
Yeah but those statistics are before we discovered horse paste
And that’s just death, measles also creates life long conditions, some that appear years or decades after. For example the way he speaks, his disease is linked to childhood measles ironically.
Also another bad thing about makes is that it can reset your immune system, so now other diseases that you didn’t have to be afraid before now can be deadly.
Yes, but how many are saved from autism and brain worms?
Depends. How much road kill do they eat?
lmao, imagining RFK scooping up some roadkill, preparing it and having a bbq all in pleasure at the top and causal Friday at the bottom with his cute blue jeans, is hilarious and idiotic at the same time.
They do try to destroy the country in every possible way. At this point they just want to make sure it’s really dead.

More or less than taxifs and SS on Ice?
Rest of the world should ban Americans from coming in. Who knows what kinds of diseases they might be carrying.
My local blood bank already wanted to know about any possible contact I might have had with Americans.
I remember when we weren’t a developing country
underdeveloped country.

2015… If you want to write up some big long thing about how we’ve always been awful, can you just not?
Unvaccinated and the idiots won’t even wear masks either
Or parasites
Ah, measles. Nature’s Ultimate Antivaxxer.
Oh wow, didn’t know that. Where’s this text from?
Immune by Philipp Dettmer of Kurzgesat. Highly recommended reading…and watching.
Okay brainworm, go intentionally get the measles and let us watch you for the next 6 months so we see how safe it is.
Unfortunately, he’s almost certainly vaccinated against measles, because his parents were sane people
he made sure the children of SAMOA got measles, and about 86+ died from it, when he convinced the govt to stop vaccinations.
The worm is driving
No, what would be better is if that guy got a bad case of my backhand across his mouth every time he opens it.
I really hate that this motherfucker gets government-funded health care now, because every nasty-ass virus he gets is not only going to be well-treated, but actively buried.
I’m sure he had bonkers good healthcare before anyway. His name is Robert Fucking Kennedy Jr…
It would be better if this guy fucks off.
Guys, if you live in Magastan, talk to your doctors, ask them to give you any shot they can of anything that needs a booster over time (or that you miss) and do it ASAP. If a new pandemic from a new virus comes, you’ll be fucked, but at least you won’t be if what you suffer is an epidemic of a fucking preventable disease.
Already did! They can’t ban my blood from helping others now, can they!
And that’s why I got all the vaccines. All of em. I treat vaccines like a sticker album or Pokémon cards. Gotta have them all… and the shiny ones are best.
A recent episode of The House of Pod podcast included a virologist and an ER doctor (the host is a gastroenterologist) and they talked about measles and the potential lifelong effects that a non-fatal case can cause, like blindness or deafness. They also contrast with the efficacy of the vaccine, the virologist got checked before going to SE Asia and despite her last MMR dose being in the 90s she had enough antibodies that her doctor said she didn’t need a booster. She went on to talk about how while measles has mutated it has not changed to bypass immunity.
one of the fun things virus love to do is give people meningitis, and encephalitis, its more common then people think. chickenpox(and also shingles),mumps,rubella all can do this too.
Cool. I can’t wait for my immunocompromised friend to die of a preventable disease that we had eradicated in the US until this year.
To be fair, he didn’t say it’d be better for the humans
Well, less humans would be good for humankind as well as the rest of the planet. But I think this is one of those “not like that” situations.
