RFK Jr. touts vitamin A and cod liver oil as another death is reported in growing measles outbreak. Health experts warn the move is ‘misleading the public’
In the U.S., the CDC calls vaccination “the best defense” against becoming infected with measles.Carolyn Barber (Fortune)
Many people in the community are forgoing testing, a health official said.
"...The reported number of cases is likely a large undercount because many people aren't getting tested, said Katherine Wells, director of public health at the health department in Lubbock, Texas. ...A health food store in Seminole has become a gathering place for families with visibly sick children seeking medical advice. They’re often given cod liver oil,,,,"

Why? Because that’s where the sick people go
It’s one of the reasons disabled people often say they won’t go to the ER unless literally dying.
They’re not safe places for us:

"I Won't Go to the ER Unless I'm Literally Dying"
A look at the stages of grief associated with chronic illness - as well as the process you go through learning when to seek medical care (and what that care will look like).Broadwaybabyto (The Disabled Ginger)
Sick of being sick? Wear a mask.
Have a vulnerable loved one you want to protect? Wear a mask.
Work in healthcare and want to protect your patients? Wear a mask.
Want to fight fascists? Wear a mask.
Worried about low vaccination rates bringing back measles, polio and other eradicated diseases? Wear a mask.
Want to resist and keep your activism virus free? You guessed it, wear a mask.
When worn correctly, they’re highly effective. Trump and Vance are as anti-mask as they come, so we need as many people as possible masking in solidarity.
Let’s keep people healthy while normalizing them as an important tool in the fight against disease AND fascism.

After spending years spreading harmful anti-vaxx rhetoric and lies, he’s now tacitly recommending the MMR in the wake of the first child death of measles in a decade.
More outbreaks will continue to happen until people start vaccinating their kids again.
Measles is incredibly contagious, and it’s airborne. The average person goes on to infect approximately 9 others.
The disease was all but eradicated thanks to vaccination, and it’s on the rise again because of people like RFK Jr
The kids need us to protect them. They need the adults to make smart choices.
Also, wear a respirator! It’ll help protect from measles, covid, flu and more.

From Ontario to Texas, every measles infection is a preventable tragedy
Why are we chipping away at one of the greatest public health victories ever – the elimination of measles?André Picard (The Globe and Mail)
This is quite the about face for a man who’s been spreading harmful anti-vaxx rhetoric for years.
Just a few days ago he was minimizing the outbreak by saying it was “normal” and recommending vitamin A.
What changed? Not going to lie… my initial thought was “it must be really bad if RFK Jr is pushing the vaccine”
Please folks, get your boosters. Wear a mask. Clean the air. Protect your health & the health of those around you.

“He adds measles vaccinations have fallen to about 40 per cent during the pandemic, where before it was 85-90 per cent. He says people aren’t getting the vaccine anymore because of many factors, including “vaccine fatigue”.
Who would have imagined that having to get a series of Covid shots would lead people to give up on vaccines that have saved lives for decades?

What you should not do she says is expose anyone to the virus intentionally. People may have heard of "chicken pox parties." Similar gatherings to intentionally spread the measles are not recommended.

The FDA just cancelled an advisory meeting to discuss next season’s flu shots, mere days after a CDC vaccine advisory meeting was also cancelled.
RFK Jr is anti vaccine and anti science. His appointment to the head of HHS will have devastating consequences.
If you’re not up to date on your boosters, get them now.
If you’re unsure, talk with your doctor.
No matter what happens, remember that a well fitted mask like an N95 can provide excellent protection against airborne viruses and bacteria.
It’s time to mask up.

These are ugly laws. They’re discriminatory & push disabled people further out of society. They increase the likelihood of police harassment. They paint maskers as “bad”.

FIGHT THE TX ANTI-MASK BILL
Overview An anti-mask bill was filed at the Texas state level by Representative Tom Oliverson, who is in Cypress, Texas. Cypress is within the Houston area.Google Docs
😷 Police are not doctors
😷 Many disabilities are invisible
😷 Disabled people don’t live in a bubble. I need my friends and caregivers to mask to protect me
😷 Everyone should have the right to protect their health, you shouldn’t have to already be sick to be permitted to mask
😷 Criminalizing masks sends a message that maskers are “bad”. It emboldens anti-maskers and increases odds of aggression
The reality is that mask bans are discriminatory, ableist and eugenicist. They push disabled people out of public spaces. They put marginalized and POC at increased risk of police profiling.
There’s no official policy for a medical exemption either, it’s at police discretion.
If you’re stopped and questioned, you will have to prove you’re masking for the “right reasons”
I’m more than willing to admit that if I were stopped by a cop for masking, I would appear nervous, shaky, tachycardic and probably “suspicious”.
Not because I’m doing anything wrong, but because my illnesses do not respond well to stress and the police are stressful.
It’s not right to put the onus on the masker to defend their right to mask. We’re still in a global pandemic. Texas has a measles outbreak. There’s tuberculosis in Kansas. Bird flu is spreading and it’s the worst year for influenza A in over a decade.
Masks are a public health tool. They’re a disability accommodation. They should NOT be criminalized.

This year, #flu cases are the highest they have been in the last decade, with at least 29 million flu illnesses this season, 370,000 hospitalizations and 16,000 deaths.
So...that seems like a perfect time for Congressionally Confirmed Captain Brainworm to kill the information campaign for people to get the flu vaccine.
So...let me do the job of the gagged #CDC...
Get your damn flu #vaccine. If you were born before 1968, you probably need a #measles vaccine. If you are over 50, get the #shingles vaccine. I don't know that we'll be able to even get vaccines in another six months, so go do it now.
