    Same with me as well as the chicken pox. Back in the '50 and '60 all three were considered routine childhood diseases.

    They’re doing God’s work. They have to. Nobody’s listening to God when he’s been trying to get the point across, all along, that his creatures are not broken and in need of modern pharmaceutical interventions.

    The religious exemption was an option in the 80s back then it was the left wing idiots who were antivax. Now you need a scorecard to tell whose idiots are worse.

    LOL, I’m posting this graph, on social media, and several have said they know someone who knows someone who’s died of measles …

    This article focuses on political trust as a key for support of vaccines. While Trump may support vaccines, he and other Republican leaders constantly bash government per se, leading conservatives to not trust government on vaccine safety. The article describes it as a heuristic that enables people to substitute political trust instead of analyzing a govt policy on merits.

    So you just provided the proof for backing the efficacy of measles vaccines. Congrats

    Repeat after me: “safe and effective.”

    Vaccines so effective that they work retroactively

    from a broad sense I don’t think it’s helpful at a national or statewide level, politically. Perhaps it can fly in places that are heavily right wing or left wing.

    It seems like DeSantis damaged his brand by staking out extreme positions.

    I think it is a rationale why people believe in the safety or efficacy of vaccines based on who they most align with politically. We see it on this board. Republicans, through Limbaugh, recognized the way to power was to be oppositional to everything Democrats proposed no matter how moderate, and it was a successful strategy. The downside are consequences like vaccine safety denial.
