Are they actually quarantining? Or out spreading it like they did during covid because their freedumbs can’t be impinged on? Or “measles is fake, it’s just a rash”?
I used to live in a small town in South Carolina, about an hour from Greenville. I can absolutely see quarantining not happening.
Unfortunately it will devastate the kids and anyone with a compromised immune system. Those already vaccinated but refuse to vaccinate their kids will be fine.
I don't disagree, but how do you have sympathy when they are so militantly against any wise advice. According the them we are the dumb one. It is quite tiring to keep helping people that are continually stepping on rakes.
Surely, she didn't understand what being an asymptomatic carrier means. She didn't believe the doctors, that she was causing illness. Doctors barely understood asymptomatic carriers back then. But I do enjoy the imagery of an underpaid cook for rich people deliberately keeping quiet about her contagious illness while wearing a Super Mario Brothers outfit 🤣
The people who need to quarantine the most are the highest risk of spreading disease. They take no precautions and do the opposite of recommendations to be defiant.
I’m in my 60s and I’m fully vaccinated and have been since I was a young child. I actually just requested a Titer test to check my immunity levels because I just don’t believe that people are quarantining. I personally have never had any of the major childhood illnesses, chickenpox, mumps, measles, and so I’m totally paranoid of being exposed to it now.
My doctor told me it was incredibly smart that I was requesting that and she said she thinks she’s going to start having more of her older patients do this as well.
I've had measles vaccines in my 30s when I was unable to provide proof that I had the measles vaccine as a kid. There was a measles outbreak at the university I worked for and if you didn't get vaccinated or provide proof of vaccination, they would withhold your pay. This made me angry at the time, but now I'm glad I got a shot in my 30s.
As a completely pro-science person, that makes me mad too. Tell you you can't work & have to be isolated for your protection until you are vaccinated or titers show you are immune, OK. But withholding pay for work already done is illegal.
Yeah, I’m in my 40s and got a Titer last year. Let these idiots kill each other off. Although I feel terrible for those that can’t vaccinate and/or have compromised immune systems.
Yeah, one of the nurses in my clinic also works in a Children’s Hospital and she has immunosuppression issues. She says it’s just terrible the number of cases she’s seen coming in nowadays and she’s unwilling to help any of them and compromise herself.
I am, uh, non-youthful and recently got a number of vaccines all in short order because it’s just a matter of time before here idiots make these diseases common again.
I had booster vaccinations when my granddaughter was born to avoid passing anything on to her. Whooping cough, measles and diphtheria are killers to the young and elderly.
I’m 65 today and had all the vaccines in my early 30’s. I was going into nursing school and just wanted to make sure I was covered for as much as possible. Also had the DTaP in 2020 for tetanus protection after I stabbed myself (accidentally but stupidly) in the yard.
I'm 63 and was also fully vaccinated as a child. I had titers done for MMR and they all came back very high! I was surprised and wondered if having an autoimmune disease might have something to do with it.
I live in Spartanburg and the only place I seen the measles outbreak talked about is on Reddit. I’ve not heard of or seen anyone quarantining. These are the same people who continued to have large gatherings during peak Covid. I’m a nurse who makes home visits and had a patient’s neighbor heckle me as put on PPE in driveway before entering their home. They simply do not care about other people.
AP News, NYT, NBC, USA Today and others have covered the breakout in our state. There were earlier cases in Georgetown County (where I am), but it's now centered in the Spartanburg and Greenville areas.
I live here, in Greenville, in the county next to the one where the outbreak is centered. I can assure you that if anyone who's ill feels well enough to get out of the house, they're out of the house. They're out going shopping, they're out spreading Christmas cheer, they're out doing whatever they feel well enough to do because they're Americans, by gum, and they know their constipational rights.
As for me, I got vaccinated when I started school in 1985, so I'm hoping that's still holding up. I intend to talk to my doctor next time I see him. My husband was going to make sure his vaccinations were up to date, but no CVS in the area could seem to agree that they were the one he was actually scheduled at, and eventually he gave up after being bounced around between four different locations.
They used to have "measles parties" in the past. I believe these people in South Carolina are still doing them. There will be a lot of dead children in the near future.
Historically no they did not have measles parties, you are thinking of chickenpox parties. With measles the authorities quarantined you in your home. It was recognized for being dangerous and extremely contagious.
I THINK it’s mostly unvaccinated kids being sent home for a couple weeks at a time (whatever the incubation window is), so it’s the school doing it, nothing voluntary.
“A significant measles outbreak is centered in the Upstate region of South Carolina, with cases strongly linked to communities, including a portion of the local Slavic-language speaking population, that have low vaccination rates.” This is what I’m hearing regularly now. Local paper has an article on it.
This is it. A friend growing up was deaf because a woman came to visit her mom’s roommate in the hospital when she was born. That woman had measles and knew it but at that time there was no vaccine. There’s even an Agatha Christie murder mystery about this. I don’t know why people don’t talk about it more in relation to measles.
Yeah I was really surprised when I learned that it not only killed people it also could permanently cripple them. What’s crazy is how little this is known when there are literally still people alive crippled by it
It’s one of Christie’s Miss Marple mysteries: The Mirror Crack’d From Side to Side. A famed actress overhears another woman excitedly telling Jane Marple that she left her home sick to attend a function where the (then-pregnant) actress would be. The stupid woman had rubella (a.k.a. German measles); the actress’ child was later born profoundly mentally disabled. The actress murders the stupid woman in retribution. The book ended up being made into a film starring Angela Lansbury.
Not just the CDC, America's reputation is completely tarnished in way which won't be forgotten in living memory due to the 2nd election of Trump. The first could maybe, maybe be put down to people's naivety. After covid and the attempted coup, among so much else, to elect him and all this circus again, has killed any fantasy of America being a global leader which many of us outside the US somewhat accepted.
The title of US president is no longer anything special, because he was put back in it again. No matter who holds it now, it'll be nothing but a ruined house which forever smells like the shit of the previous nightmare occupants.
Yeah. To tell you the truth, I was shocked when he won again the second time. Like as if the first time wasn't crazy enough already. Some people actually looked at that and said "NOICE! I'd like a second serving of that please?!" I guess that shows you Americans (or at least half of the population) have a memory span of a goldfish.
Not half. 2/3rds of us. 1/3 saw Trump and said “more please”. Another 1/3 saw both candidates as equally bad and didn’t bother to go vote. Only 1/3 of us went “oh Jesus, not again!” and voted against this.
And you know what? Harris was not a perfect candidate. No one is. But when you compare Harris and Trump, and your conclusion is “they’re both equally bad”? You are a fucking moron. I didn’t vote for Clinton, Biden, or Harris. I voted against Trump. I would have voted for a Rick over Trump, confident that a rock would be a better candidate than whatever the fuck it is we got going now.
When I was in high school back in the 80s there was an article about how manufacturers were using methods the CDC used to track down defects. All through the years since then, there would be a salmonella outbreak or whatever else and the CDC could just about trace it back to the plant the tomato grew on.
I remember when we first started talking about COVID my ex was really worried about it because of her elderly mother. I reassured her how good the CDC was about tracking this down. How when I was in high school that could stop diseases in its tracks and that was before computers. I told her they would be watching every hospital report and would make sure it did not spread.
Holy shit was I wrong. Never in my imagination would I ever have thought the US government could be so decimated that a million Americans would die from incompetence.
I’m sure this was brought up during the Texas outbreak, but South Carolina will also now have a pocket of people whose immune systems have been decimated. And I assume are candidates for sparking a mutation in Covid or the flu?
Early childhood measles can cause blindness, deafness and mental disabilities (I worked with those affected when I was in college). The really awesome part of this is that programs for educating, training and hiring the deaf, blind, and disabled are labeled as woke-ass DEI. What a perfect storm of stupidity and carelessness. Can't believe I've lived long enough to see both ends of this.
I'm going to go try to hunt down measles booster tomorrow. I don't really care about the titer tests and whatnot. I just want the juice with no hassles
Here’s one of the stories from that time, I can’t find the licking one (though I did find a separate story from another red state with that). I got denied the flu shot and the covid shot at a local Walgreens there because the pharmacist said it was her religious right to deny me vaccines. Crazy shit.
Why would you be an OB/GYN if you didn’t think abortion is a part of women’s healthcare? I’m sending this question out to you Dr. Theresa Luhrs of Macon, GA “Women for Women’s Health”, why refuse to see or treat me anymore after my fetuses heart stopped and my body didn’t process the miscarriage? Make me rush to find a doctor who would see me (took 3 weeks) and do an immediate D&C because I was about to go septic. (2017, before RvW was overturned).
If I see anything religious in a doctors office or hear it in a pharmacy I go off now. Also, don’t move to the south because fuck that! Not that any place is immune to these freaks anymore.
To own the libs, these people have made it part of their personality. If you ever seen a meme that has a bell hanging just a little beyond a cliff. With a note that says "ring the bell to own the libs". With a line of people ready to ring it. In reality, a lot would. Even if it ends them, covid really proved that. Burning masks and having covid parties. Literally called covid parties. They think its establishing dominance, but it's just glorified stupidity.
I know what you mean, had to work with a bunch of antivaxxers. Funny thing is, they all got it twice and I never did. We were shoulder to shoulder a lot too. I don't get sick but I still got the shot.
Our oldest was born at the “end” of COVID. In quotes because of course it’s not actually done. They had to spend 2 weeks in the NICU. I was basically with kid 24/7, but when my husband came to see us he wore a mask and the nurses thanked him for it. We got to chatting about the serious times and the nurses in the room then told us they had parents KNOW THEY WERE POSITIVE for COVID coming in to visit their NICU BABIES. They wouldn’t mask.
They lost more than one baby to COVID the child got from the parents.
We have forgotten some hard lessons. People who remember these terrible times have died and the younger ones haven’t experienced rampant disease. But they soon will.
True, but hopefully all that girl's classmates, and the parents of her classmates, will feel the loss of this girl. They will learn from their cautionary tale. It might be God's Will that her parents be examples of fools, so that others might save their own kids.
I swear the reason people aren’t that afraid of Measles is because of its name. It sounds kind of cute and harmless. I think health agencies should call it by its other name Morbilli
Even back in the day some people were stupid enough to have measles parties. Even though they probably knew or knew of someone whose kid died. People are morons
I’m honestly to the point in which I say “fuck em.”
Their actions during Covid and now prove that if and when the next pandemic hits, these fucks will be a detriment to all human kind. Honestly, I’m getting to the point in which I’m starting to think all medical technology and professional help should be absolutely denied (even emergency medicine) to all people not vaccinated.
Remember during covid how people died from regular stuff because the covid patients overwhelmed the hospitals and they could not be treated? And how many nurses and doctors just quit?
The health department deployed mobile health clinics to the area to provide MMR shots, but few people in the community took advantage. “I can tell you that a relatively small number of doses was administered at each of the mobile health unit clinics that we offered,” Bell said.
One way or another, society will learn. I just wish we didn't have to hit every fucking obstacle on the obstacle course to make it to the end.
My doctor watched helplessly as a kid she was treating slowly died of measles a few years ago. Nothing she could do to save him, and apparently it is a horrible way to go. She still tears up when she mentions it. Said she had tried begging the parents to vaccinate the kid before he got sick, but there is only so much you can do legally as a provider. Now their kid is dead. Fuck those parents..
It just occurred to me too that, unlike Texas, this isn’t a rural, insular community. These are people that are going to do a ton of Christmas shopping, and holiday parties, and family get togethers etc etc and will travel farther to do those things.
Most of the people affected aren’t able to vote in SC… Many of them are Ukrainian refugees. They are traumatized victims of war and of Putin’s vaccine misinformation that is targeted at them.
Keeping people sick, broke, hungry, homeless, scared, uneducated and hopeless is by design. It’s all about having a boot on the neck of the American people. Republicans are the most dishonest, corrupt and incompetent party and they just don’t care and for whatever reason people still vote for them. Please make it make sense.
There is a large contingent of society who would live under a bridge in a cardboard box and eat rats if it means that [hated outgroup] doesn't get a box or rats.
I found out I wasn't immune to Rubella during my first pregnancy and went to the health department after I delivered to get l vaccinated. It's been about 15 years. Do you think they gave me a single Rubella vaccine or MMR?
Everyone trump picks is incompetent, sycophantic and most are grossly dishonest and corrupt. I can't think of one of his picks for government position who i isn't at least the of those things. Wait, I can think of one, Jerome Powell
Some people may suffer from severe complications, such as pneumonia (infection of the lungs) and encephalitis (swelling of the brain). They may need to be hospitalized and could die.
Hospitalization. About 1 in 5 unvaccinated people in the U.S. who get measles is hospitalized.
Pneumonia. As many as 1 out of every 20 children with measles gets pneumonia, the most common cause of death from measles in young children.
Encephalitis. About 1 child out of every 1,000 who get measles will develop encephalitis (swelling of the brain). This can lead to convulsions and leave the child deaf or with intellectual disability.
Death. Nearly 1 to 3 of every 1,000 children who become infected with measles will die from respiratory and neurologic complications.
Complications during pregnancy. If you are pregnant and have not had the MMR vaccine, measles may cause birth prematurely, or have a low-birth-weight baby
Aside from what the other poster said, I’ve personally met someone who was dead from catching measles as a child, and you could also go blind. Better that them intellectual disabilities or death, but I’d say most would still really be horrified to have that happen
During the pandemic, I was on a sports forum where a guy who owned a CNA agency in SC was bragging how he didn't provide masks for the CNAs because it wasn't necessary. I asked if he even tested his employees once a week.....nope. Just send 'em into homes of elderly during a pandemic.
Are they actually quarantining? Or out spreading it like they did during covid because their freedumbs can’t be impinged on? Or “measles is fake, it’s just a rash”?
I used to live in a small town in South Carolina, about an hour from Greenville. I can absolutely see quarantining not happening.
I’m sure they’re going full Typhoid Mary.
History once again repeats itself. Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You can't stop dumb people from catching diseases.
Unfortunately it will devastate the kids and anyone with a compromised immune system. Those already vaccinated but refuse to vaccinate their kids will be fine.
I don't disagree, but how do you have sympathy when they are so militantly against any wise advice. According the them we are the dumb one. It is quite tiring to keep helping people that are continually stepping on rakes.
Being an idiot is the most dangerous of diseases and as contagious as any.
Mary didn't look sick and she worked as a cook for wealthy people even after she knew she was an asymptomatic carrier. IMO she was more like LM.
These guys are going to Walmart and McDonald's to infect each other.
Surely, she didn't understand what being an asymptomatic carrier means. She didn't believe the doctors, that she was causing illness. Doctors barely understood asymptomatic carriers back then. But I do enjoy the imagery of an underpaid cook for rich people deliberately keeping quiet about her contagious illness while wearing a Super Mario Brothers outfit 🤣
This might be the funniest comment I’ve read all day! 😂😂😂
The people who need to quarantine the most are the highest risk of spreading disease. They take no precautions and do the opposite of recommendations to be defiant.

My doctor told me it was incredibly smart that I was requesting that and she said she thinks she’s going to start having more of her older patients do this as well.
I had my doctor give me the vaccination again. At 67 I’m almost positive I had it as a child but better safe than dead.
I've had measles vaccines in my 30s when I was unable to provide proof that I had the measles vaccine as a kid. There was a measles outbreak at the university I worked for and if you didn't get vaccinated or provide proof of vaccination, they would withhold your pay.

Is this in the USA? Withholding pay sounds illegal. They can fire you over it, but usually state law requires you to be paid no matter what.
Yeah, I’m in my 40s and got a Titer last year. Let these idiots kill each other off. Although I feel terrible for those that can’t vaccinate and/or have compromised immune systems.

I'm also in my 60s, and asked for the test. My doctor said the recommendation now is to just give the vaccine again. So I got vaccinated again.
I did too; I’m 58.
I am, uh, non-youthful and recently got a number of vaccines all in short order because it’s just a matter of time before here idiots make these diseases common again.
I had booster vaccinations when my granddaughter was born to avoid passing anything on to her. Whooping cough, measles and diphtheria are killers to the young and elderly.

Have you gotten your results yet?
I should be getting them any day.
I would be interested if you care to share. I'm 63, fully vaccinated as a child and wondering about getting titers myself.
Yeah, hopefully I have the results any day now so I’ll let you know what I find out
I'm 63 and was also fully vaccinated as a child. I had titers done for MMR and they all came back very high! I was surprised and wondered if having an autoimmune disease might have something to do with it.
I live in Spartanburg and the only place I seen the measles outbreak talked about is on Reddit. I’ve not heard of or seen anyone quarantining. These are the same people who continued to have large gatherings during peak Covid. I’m a nurse who makes home visits and had a patient’s neighbor heckle me as put on PPE in driveway before entering their home. They simply do not care about other people.
It's on the local news here in VA a few times per week, tracking the outbreak.
When I had the misfortune of living in Greenville, I had to get upstate news from the Charleston paper. Maybe make that a part of your news reading
How do we come back from this? I’m not sure we can.
How many local deaths will it take before people "secretly" get vaccinated while still ranting anti-vaccination mantra.
Like Congress with the COVID vaccines? If history shows us anything, it will be commonplace.
AP News, NYT, NBC, USA Today and others have covered the breakout in our state. There were earlier cases in Georgetown County (where I am), but it's now centered in the Spartanburg and Greenville areas.
LOL. These are conservatives. They are probably getting their kids together for measles parties.
If they are dumb enough not to get vaccinated (when medically advised) they aren't responsible enough to quarantine.
I live here, in Greenville, in the county next to the one where the outbreak is centered. I can assure you that if anyone who's ill feels well enough to get out of the house, they're out of the house. They're out going shopping, they're out spreading Christmas cheer, they're out doing whatever they feel well enough to do because they're Americans, by gum, and they know their constipational rights.
As for me, I got vaccinated when I started school in 1985, so I'm hoping that's still holding up. I intend to talk to my doctor next time I see him. My husband was going to make sure his vaccinations were up to date, but no CVS in the area could seem to agree that they were the one he was actually scheduled at, and eventually he gave up after being bounced around between four different locations.
Fun times.
They’re doubtless spreading more than cheer 😳
They used to have "measles parties" in the past. I believe these people in South Carolina are still doing them. There will be a lot of dead children in the near future.
Historically no they did not have measles parties, you are thinking of chickenpox parties. With measles the authorities quarantined you in your home. It was recognized for being dangerous and extremely contagious.
A quick Google search shows that measles parties were a real thing in the mid 20th century.
I might still be wrong. But there are a lot of Google search results that support me.
Yes you are correct, in the 1950’s and 60’s. I never thought to look it up since I knew prior to that it didn’t happen. Thank you!
They also had chicken pox parties.
I THINK it’s mostly unvaccinated kids being sent home for a couple weeks at a time (whatever the incubation window is), so it’s the school doing it, nothing voluntary.
“A significant measles outbreak is centered in the Upstate region of South Carolina, with cases strongly linked to communities, including a portion of the local Slavic-language speaking population, that have low vaccination rates.” This is what I’m hearing regularly now.

Vaccination is a lot easier than quarantine IMO. But I believe in science, so don’t go by me…
Easy with your witchcraft lol
We found the witch with their "science"
Can your "science" explain why it rains?
She turned me into a newt!
I got better 😂
My dad got the measles as a baby.
He lost 90% of his hearing in one ear and it never came back.
Who knows the other long term health problems on top of it.
This is it. A friend growing up was deaf because a woman came to visit her mom’s roommate in the hospital when she was born. That woman had measles and knew it but at that time there was no vaccine. There’s even an Agatha Christie murder mystery about this. I don’t know why people don’t talk about it more in relation to measles.

You got the jab?? What an idiot! (/s)
Everyone who got the covid jab is dead! They said we'd all die and they were right. I'm like, rotting in the ground. My ghost is typing this.
Thanks to Oprah, Jennie McCarthy, Dr. Oz, Joe Rogan, RFKJr and Maga.
Hard to believe that the CDC went from a world-respected organization to the laughing stock of the world virtually overnight.
Not just the CDC, America's reputation is completely tarnished in way which won't be forgotten in living memory due to the 2nd election of Trump. The first could maybe, maybe be put down to people's naivety.

Thanks to my late uncle, my still living aunt, my former friends from college and high school.
Thank you for not mentioning the orange turd.
I know as much as any doctor in any field of science. I post in thousands of subreddits /s
Oprah?
She platformed Dr Oz and Dr Phil originally. They wouldn’t be in the zeitgeist now like they are if it weren’t for her.
Also Jenny McCarthy
Thank them with cuddles and sloppy kisses from all the poorly family members.
I’m sure this was brought up during the Texas outbreak, but South Carolina will also now have a pocket of people whose immune systems have been decimated. And I assume are candidates for sparking a mutation in Covid or the flu?
This is an enormous —and largely unknown to most—effect of the measles. The immune amnesia is devastating
And don’t forget about the babies who will be born deaf and/or with profound developmental delays after their unvaccinated mothers contract rubella.
a mutation from life to death
Early childhood measles can cause blindness, deafness and mental disabilities (I worked with those affected when I was in college). The really awesome part of this is that programs for educating, training and hiring the deaf, blind, and disabled are labeled as woke-ass DEI. What a perfect storm of stupidity and carelessness. Can't believe I've lived long enough to see both ends of this.
Thanks, Mom. /s
Time to bust out the Ivermectin!
Don't forget the aquarium cleaner!
And drink some bleach!
Inject some bleach.
And a good uv light shoved up ass
Maybe they will get a bright idea for once in their life if they did.
Would anybody see it? The bright uv idea?
Inject it.
Get a big fucking light, too
Oh no, if only this was easily avoidable.
Simple.
MOAR JEEBUS!
Right? Right??
Just think about what this says about society.
“We have chosen infectious diseases with potential life long debilitating side effects or even death over decades of sound medical science.”
Just wait until H5N1 jumps to humans. There will be full blown riots if they tell people to take precautions.
But they’ll all still turn up at the hospital demanding that we do something!
Thanks RFK for being a lying POS.
This is the desired outcome for eugenicist Kennedy
That's why he was chosen.
I'm going to go try to hunt down measles booster tomorrow. I don't really care about the titer tests and whatnot. I just want the juice with no hassles
I did that during the Texas outbreak - had no issues at CVS
Sweet! Thanks!
I was able to make an appointment online at Walgreens for MMR last January.
Ahh thanks I'm going there today and I'll ask
I had to tell the pharmacy I was traveling (which I did) but I wasn’t getting because of people elsewhere!!
I got one during the Disneyland outbreak (2018?) and was finally able to read news about measles spreading without getting itchy.
Killing your children to own the libs never gets old.
Something something god’s will something something it was their time
obligatory rejoinder: "Just like the kids!"
Ignorance is not bliss.....
Reminds me of the old quote:
"When you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It's only painful and difficult for others. The same applies when you are stupid"
Same area that had a viral video of someone licking items in the Walmart during the pandemic.
Are you serious?. Wild
Here’s one of the stories from that time, I can’t find the licking one (though I did find a separate story from another red state with that). I got denied the flu shot and the covid shot at a local Walgreens there because the pharmacist said it was her religious right to deny me vaccines. Crazy shit.
Wtf is wrong with humans
Why would you be a pharmacist if you don’t believe in drugs? Vaccines are drugs just like painkillers 🤷🏻♀️
Why would you be an OB/GYN if you didn’t think abortion is a part of women’s healthcare? I’m sending this question out to you Dr. Theresa Luhrs of Macon, GA “Women for Women’s Health”, why refuse to see or treat me anymore after my fetuses heart stopped and my body didn’t process the miscarriage? Make me rush to find a doctor who would see me (took 3 weeks) and do an immediate D&C because I was about to go septic. (2017, before RvW was overturned).
If I see anything religious in a doctors office or hear it in a pharmacy I go off now. Also, don’t move to the south because fuck that! Not that any place is immune to these freaks anymore.
She needed to steer you to a pharmacy where someone would vaccinate you, then. People like her shouldn’t be in healthcare.
Coughing on veggies and licking ice cream and putting it back. Seen them.
Disgusting
Yep, even the produce bags.
I am sick to my stomach. What's the point of all this ? Assert dominance ? Or ?
To own the libs, these people have made it part of their personality. If you ever seen a meme that has a bell hanging just a little beyond a cliff. With a note that says "ring the bell to own the libs". With a line of people ready to ring it. In reality, a lot would. Even if it ends them, covid really proved that. Burning masks and having covid parties. Literally called covid parties. They think its establishing dominance, but it's just glorified stupidity.
I had to deal with anti vaxxers and COVID deniers during the peak. I had to cut people off and scale back with others.
I know what you mean, had to work with a bunch of antivaxxers. Funny thing is, they all got it twice and I never did. We were shoulder to shoulder a lot too. I don't get sick but I still got the shot.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they are having measles parties like they did with Covid.
The year is almost over and there are still Darwin awards to be won
Painful loss is how people learn. Let’s see how much loss it takes.
There’s a reason why parents were clambering for these inoculations back in the 50s and 60s: many dead children.
Our oldest was born at the “end” of COVID. In quotes because of course it’s not actually done. They had to spend 2 weeks in the NICU. I was basically with kid 24/7, but when my husband came to see us he wore a mask and the nurses thanked him for it. We got to chatting about the serious times and the nurses in the room then told us they had parents KNOW THEY WERE POSITIVE for COVID coming in to visit their NICU BABIES. They wouldn’t mask.
They lost more than one baby to COVID the child got from the parents.
Dead children don’t mean anything now.
it may sound callous
but those babies are better off than being raised by parents like that
They were putting every baby and staff member in the place at risk, but they’re all too selfish to care about anyone else.
We have forgotten some hard lessons. People who remember these terrible times have died and the younger ones haven’t experienced rampant disease. But they soon will.

As long as they can figure out how to blame democrats then it’s not loss, it’s just anger.
Who said, "Science advances one obituary at a time"?
Some never will.
That poor little girl who died in (Texas? Oklahoma?) and her parents just kinda shrugged & said "it's god's will".
🤬
True, but hopefully all that girl's classmates, and the parents of her classmates, will feel the loss of this girl. They will learn from their cautionary tale. It might be God's Will that her parents be examples of fools, so that others might save their own kids.
I swear the reason people aren’t that afraid of Measles is because of its name. It sounds kind of cute and harmless. I think health agencies should call it by its other name Morbilli
It's Morbin' time!
Even back in the day some people were stupid enough to have measles parties. Even though they probably knew or knew of someone whose kid died. People are morons
If only there were some way to prevent measles
And can't be woke either!
It’s almost as if there could have been a precautionary medicine to counter it?!?! Morons!
People just can’t comprehend how contagious Measles are
I don't even need to name the candidate who won these counties in Nov 2024:
66.1% Spartanburg County
60.2% Greenville County
Do you think they're actually going to quarantine? I mean, after COVID, we saw just how much certain people give a shit about each other.
I asked for and received a measles vaccine at my doctor’s office in seven seconds. I am 64.
We should stay away from these people. Sounds like they’ve got impure blood. /s
So much avoidable suffering.
No such thing as needless suffering to MAGAts and the GOP!
Inflicting cruelty is their whole reason for existence.
Why even bother quarantine?
And this sub comes alive again!
Are they wearing masks? Quarantine will ruin their economy!
This is tyranny!
Or something something something.
Looks like the science-deniers are taking a page from the "freedom over health" handbook again, proving that history really does repeat itself.
I’m honestly to the point in which I say “fuck em.”
Their actions during Covid and now prove that if and when the next pandemic hits, these fucks will be a detriment to all human kind. Honestly, I’m getting to the point in which I’m starting to think all medical technology and professional help should be absolutely denied (even emergency medicine) to all people not vaccinated.
It's where we're headed anyway.
Remember during covid how people died from regular stuff because the covid patients overwhelmed the hospitals and they could not be treated? And how many nurses and doctors just quit?
Pepperridge Farms remembers.
Hopefully some smart folks from other countries can be brought in on H1B visas to work on a vaccine ASAP
I thought they didn't believe in quarantine.
If only there was some way to have prevented this
One way or another, society will learn. I just wish we didn't have to hit every fucking obstacle on the obstacle course to make it to the end.
My doctor watched helplessly as a kid she was treating slowly died of measles a few years ago. Nothing she could do to save him, and apparently it is a horrible way to go. She still tears up when she mentions it. Said she had tried begging the parents to vaccinate the kid before he got sick, but there is only so much you can do legally as a provider. Now their kid is dead. Fuck those parents..
It’s only gonna get worse cause they won’t quarantine. If it’s hundreds now, it’ll be thousands within a month.
It just occurred to me too that, unlike Texas, this isn’t a rural, insular community. These are people that are going to do a ton of Christmas shopping, and holiday parties, and family get togethers etc etc and will travel farther to do those things.
I'm rooting for measles this time.
For fucks sake. Goddammit.
All this fuss over a few measly kids.
What is it with Trump and outbreaks of diseases...what's next, locusts?
So may red states enjoying freedom freckles!
Hey Americans, there’s a vaccine for that.
And a merry Christmas to the folks there who have to nurse kids thru Christmas break. Poor kids.
No, because they didn’t fucking get their kids vaccinated. I reserve my empathy for the helpless kids and the families of immunocompromised people.
The unvacced kids may spend their Christmas school break out sick. Thanks to illiterate brain washed parents..
Funny how the people that insist hurricanes are somehow a sign that God hates gay people aren’t linking Trump with plagues right now…
Love this for South Carolina. They got what they voted for. Congrats!
Uhh, we still have to share space with them so I am personally not celebrating
Most of the people affected aren’t able to vote in SC… Many of them are Ukrainian refugees. They are traumatized victims of war and of Putin’s vaccine misinformation that is targeted at them.
Hurting foreigners, refugees and the poor are core values of American Christianity and this administration.
Music to my ears
Won't be no damn quarantine happening down here boy.
Devo was right.
Turns out the pale horse and pale rider had spots
Shucks. Don't give a rats ass. 🤷🏽♂️
Goodness this not good
Keeping people sick, broke, hungry, homeless, scared, uneducated and hopeless is by design. It’s all about having a boot on the neck of the American people. Republicans are the most dishonest, corrupt and incompetent party and they just don’t care and for whatever reason people still vote for them. Please make it make sense.
There is a large contingent of society who would live under a bridge in a cardboard box and eat rats if it means that [hated outgroup] doesn't get a box or rats.
I found out I wasn't immune to Rubella during my first pregnancy and went to the health department after I delivered to get l vaccinated. It's been about 15 years. Do you think they gave me a single Rubella vaccine or MMR?
🤔&🙏🏼
Everyone trump picks is incompetent, sycophantic and most are grossly dishonest and corrupt. I can't think of one of his picks for government position who i isn't at least the of those things. Wait, I can think of one, Jerome Powell
FreeDUMB rings!!
Get your titers checked everyone
Depression wipes out MMR immunity.
In 2009 I had to get a rubella booster.
This year I had to get rubella (again) and mumps.
Both times I was in a major depression episode
MAGA= Measles are Great Again.
Cool. Well anyway I think imma get Chinese for dinner.

Excellent. Phase 3 of the Hillary Pizza Basement plan is coming to fruition.
I saw that Hunter's laptop!
I’m not sure why we’re quarantining. I thought that was the whole point was to expose people and get “natural immunity”
Why quarantine, isn’t it just a rash that will go away because of their immune system?

Some people may suffer from severe complications, such as pneumonia (infection of the lungs) and encephalitis (swelling of the brain). They may need to be hospitalized and could die.
Hospitalization. About 1 in 5 unvaccinated people in the U.S. who get measles is hospitalized.
Pneumonia. As many as 1 out of every 20 children with measles gets pneumonia, the most common cause of death from measles in young children.
Encephalitis. About 1 child out of every 1,000 who get measles will develop encephalitis (swelling of the brain). This can lead to convulsions and leave the child deaf or with intellectual disability.
Death. Nearly 1 to 3 of every 1,000 children who become infected with measles will die from respiratory and neurologic complications.
Complications during pregnancy. If you are pregnant and have not had the MMR vaccine, measles may cause birth prematurely, or have a low-birth-weight baby
Aside from what the other poster said, I’ve personally met someone who was dead from catching measles as a child, and you could also go blind. Better that them intellectual disabilities or death, but I’d say most would still really be horrified to have that happen
This is literally being caused by Ukrainians and their unvaccinated children. The epicenter is a Ukrainian church in Inman.
AdSense got their money from the algorithms in SC!
During the pandemic, I was on a sports forum where a guy who owned a CNA agency in SC was bragging how he didn't provide masks for the CNAs because it wasn't necessary. I asked if he even tested his employees once a week.....nope. Just send 'em into homes of elderly during a pandemic.
