I feel like texas and florida shouldve been travel restricted a long time ago tbh. I dont want the brain worms leaking out much less fucking measles.
Impossible. Right to travel is part of the constitution, but I do wonder how it applies to emergency powers
The constiwhat? What year do you think it is?
I feel so bad for the kids and others that are immunocompromised and can't get the vaccine for legitimate medical reasons. FUCK the rest of them, they brought this on themselves. Tough shit, I have no sympathy left.
Thats where I'm at with all this too. I have no sympathy left for these fucking morons as they watch their lives fall apart. They knew he was gonna do all of this but still voted for him despite it. Worst part is all of this won't be enough to get most of them to wake up. They'll be living under and overpass after burning through their savings and retirement funds ranting about how actually immigrants, brown people, LGBTQ people, and Biden are at fault for their situation.
Measles -- truly a horror of the modern world. I hope and pray that one day mankind can create some kind of treatment or preventative for this deadly disease. My thoughts and prayers go to everyone in Texas.
Well I'm sure the secretary of health has a plan to stop this/s
In addition to an aclu travel warning for Texas, there is also a cdc advisory warning.
Be safe and avoid Texas.
Not saying you're full of it or anything but could I get a link to this ? I gotta see this for myself and I can't find anything when googling it which is sadly getting more and more common with news lately...
So if we got vaccinated when we were young we're cool right?
Very probably. Getting the standard two-dose MMR vaccine protocol is 97% effective at providing lifelong protection. If you are vaccinated and do catch it anyways, the symptoms will likely be mild.
No vaccine is 100% effective against measles, but two MMR shots are 97% effective. (Two shots are 88% effective against mumps, and a single shot is 97% effective against rubella.) Most people who are vaccinated will never get the measles; although a small percentage have “breakthrough” cases, the symptoms are usually mild.
It depends on when you were vaccinated. If you were born in or before 1957, you're presumed immune. If you were born after 1957 and vaccinated before 1967, they were using a not-quite-as-good version of the vaccine and should get a booster. If you were vaccinated between 1968 and 1989, you probably only got one shot; in 1989, they realized it should be two shots for longer, stronger immunity, and you should get a booster. If you were vaxxed in 1990 or later, you're fine.
People may want to consider getting a DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) booster at the same time. It doesn't hurt to keep your tetanus resistance up to date, but whooping cough (pertussis) is also making a comeback, and that's an absolutely miserable disease as well. [Fortunately, diphtheria remains in check, as that has a 5-10% mortality rate, compared to covid's 1-3% mortality rate.]
Tetanus resistance lasts 10 years. Make sure you're up to date, or you can die an agonizing death which they can do nothing about.
this could be you!
My doctor said don't even bother getting tested for immunity, just go into your pharmacy and get a vaccine.
I found this useful. Admittedly, I don't know much about the site though.

From the article:
Singh said the low number of rare breakthrough cases show how effective the vaccine is, and that there are many reasons breakthrough cases might occur, including someone who has a condition that causes their immunity to wane over time
The Running Man and 1984 coming to life at once. What a time.
Mr Beast and Project 2025.
Isaac Newton 2060. End of Kaliyuga 2080.
Does it say 2080 is the end anywhere? Because in the calendar we use in my country it's 2081 right now, we're a hindu major country.
I'm rounding numbers for easy reminder as I'm only a reader. I mean what's a year to a yuga. We're in the same world so might as well observe. I didn't know it is now? Hmm interesting.
It's https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikram_Samvat
(calender), it could be 2081 or 2082 now. So your calculations just made me think of that.
Nurgles gifts must spread!
World: Hey, Trump, you were building the wall. Is it finished?
500 fewer Trump voters. RIP.
Mostly kids who didn't vote. Voters actively harming their own kids.
