Doctors probably learn more about the vaccine schedule than about the dubious tenets of virology in med school.
Yes the vast majority of doctors with years of schooling are not listening to the idiotic recommendations from the cdc in the covid shot. As we discussed over a year ago. Even Paul Offit does not recommend it for kids…
Measles case confirmed in Maryland; Dulles Airport travelers could be exposed Maryland health officials have identified a positive case of measles in a state resident who recently traveled internationally. The state's Department of Health said in a release Sunday that the resident lives in Howard County, located southeast of Baltimore. The case is not associated with measles outbreaks in Texas and New Mexico, officials said. Area leaders are working to locate people who could have been exposed to the virus, including anyone who visited Washington Dulles International Airport's main terminal, terminal A and baggage area on March 5 between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m., as well as Johns Hopkins Howard County Medical Center Pediatric Emergency Department the afternoon of March 7 between 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m ........... People in at least eight states have been infected with measles since January, including close to 200 people in Texas and 30 in New Mexico. Two people have died, including a school-aged child in Texas and an unvaccinated adult in New Mexico. Other states that have reported cases include Alaska, California, Florida and New York. The majority of those cases were in unvaccinated children.
Wait, didn’t they always tell us measles was one-and-done ? Are vaccines like the latest Apple iPhone, everyone has to have one ?
Again, newest booster is different than vaccine. And Dr. Offitt is for vaccination, even in kids. Why? Because the 2nd leading group of COVID hospitalizations is kids. And COVID is a top 10 cause of pediatric deaths. Why? Very low vaccination rates.
Do I have to explain AGAIN how easily data can be manipulated to fool, even after five tortuous years, a gullible public ?
Do we really need to bring back the Covid vaccine debate with flat earthers into this thread about Measles? Do us a favor and ignore these trolls please.
Virus believers are the flat-earthers. Virology is only the latest iteration of an ancient superstition, i.e., contagion, which past iterations we today ridicule because they were ignorant but we know better because science. I call it the Arrogance of Modernity.
Coming from the one who posted a lie about rfk and measles. When are you going to retract your lie? And the covid shot is a major reason for the reduction in kids getting the mmr shots. A major reason. It defines what happens when you fail to follow basic medicine and science.
Virologists claim trillions of "viruses" reside in us, yet say there aren't enough in our fluids to purify, isolate, and prove pathogenicity naturally. Virology is question-begging writ large.
I get pinned as being fringe by some of my friends on the left. I am 100% conservative. But that has nothing to do with my views on medicine and science. The nuance in medicine is just reality. It’s not political at all. As a close friend and dental classmate of my wife said to me recently…you just can’t explain why some things fail sometimes. He was mentoring a young doc that had just had an implant fail on a patient. As he put it. It is going to happen and you are trained to figure out how to fix it. Building the doc up to understand medicine is not x always fixes y as the human body is just way too complicated. I said it during the covid thread that the way we pushed the shot was going to cause this exact problem. People were going to stop taking drugs (giving them to their kids) with proven safety records. Appreciate the words!
You must be referring to the way some of our very highest officials pushed conspiracy theories, doubting medicine, and scapegoating as response to a pandemic. There's no telling how differently much better things would have gone had we had responsible leadership during covid.
Pfft, you could have put a chiropractor in charge and far fewer would have died. Public health was the problem, its fatal error of establishing panic as policy.
To be fair, I said we can all agree because your words could be taken one of two ways. The covid shot did effect MMR uptake rates. But that's because you and others wrongly interpret data. Not because of whatever kooky reasons the new anti-vaxxers have come up with. I also agree, that lowered MMR uptake is causing measles outbreaks because that's what happens when you fail to follow basic science and medicine
