If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times: no super-measles until you've finished your avian flu!
¿Por qué no los dos
Avian pollio-vid measle-flu 25
COVID was easy mode and we (Americans at the very least) failed. If we can't handle something that's highly infectious with a pretty low death rate we're definitely not going to handle highly infectious + high mortality rate without a lot of people dying first and even then, it'll still be "left wing propaganda", I'm sure
I see a silver lining if the right people start dying.
They get the immuno compromised sick and help the virus mutate
Hence the phrase silver lining.
I don't think they know about second global pandemic.
apple shaped pathogen hits us on the head
Got a feeling most of the developed world is gonna miss this one.
I don't know why.
Not when our super measels gets ya
What's so super about it?
Went through Thanos anus
Vaccination when? My immunity was gone when I got tested at 35 so I had to re-take the shots. I was telling everyone I knew to get titers done for themselves.
Usually, you don't need a booster once you got fully vaccinated (2 shots, usually combined with mumps and rubella vaccines). However, the second shot was not the recommended practice until around the 90s, so you might have received only one and then it's a good idea to get it checked.
We don’t actually know that. We don’t have studies of lifelong effectiveness of the extra shot. Does it extend protection? Yes. By how much? We’ve been doing it for 30+ years, so we don’t know
If everyone, or at least most (Over 90%.) had had the first shot, how necessary would the second shot have been?
Still necessary; they started doing the second shot because they found that immunity was dropping off fairly quickly with only one dose
Given that measles can cause fucking immunity amnesia you should be terrified .
That's a good point. We should also keep in mind that measles can cause immunity amnesia. That's terrifying.
No that's not ok
That's really not ok
Goddamnit
Another example of how the US is slowly and incrementally regressing

Excellent bit
Are you in a Star Trek or Dr Who episode where time travels 100 times slower?
Unfastly?
Like molasses?
I wonder how long until other countries place travel restrictions on Americans. It's really probably best not to let plague rats roam, right?
Some countries did during Covid.
Oh. Good. Yeah. This is great.
Get your tdap and mmr boosters 💉
Measles are an air born virus, a good mask will protect you
Masks were really well received the last time and no one was a crybaby about it.
Oh okay good thing we don't have a bunch of cultists who refuse to believe in science, and refusing to wear a mask
