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.
They do try to destroy the country in every possible way. At this point they just want to make sure it’s really dead.
Won’t someone think of the health insurance providers…
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!"
I did not know that and thinking of that stuff like this is possible is fucking scary.
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.
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.
More or less than taxifs and SS on Ice?
