The U.S. is in the grips of a historic measles surge, with more than 3,000 measles cases reported in 45 states across the country since the start of 2025. So far, two unvaccinated children have died from the disease. At least 920 people have been infected in South Carolina, and a similar number in Texas. In both states, nearly all infected individuals were unvaccinated.
Now Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is urging Americans to get the measles vaccine as the country is on the brink of losing its measles elimination status.
“Take the vaccine, please. We have a solution for our problem,” Oz said on CNN’s State of Union on Sunday. “Not all illnesses are equally dangerous, and not all people are equally susceptible to those illnesses. But measles is one you should get your vaccine [for],” Oz said.
You know what? Just don’t take it. Go die of fucking measels if that’s what you want you gormless moroons.
I wish they could develop and die of measels without spreading it to innocents and children.
The problem is that as effective as vaccines are, they still have a failure rate. A certain number of VACCINATED individuals are still going to get break-through infections. Usually the incidents of a disease are so rare it never affects the vaccinated, but in a break-out like this, a lot more vulnerable vaxxed individuals have a lot more contact with sick people, and they catch it. That gives the disease the opportunity to mutate around the known vaccines, rendering the current vaccines useless.
They aren’t just threatening other anti-vaxx dummies, they are affecting ALL of us.
Yea man I know.
I wish I could isolate myself from these morons forever.
That’s why we have to characterize them as disgusting, dirty, and dangerous, and shun them from normal society.
The problem is, it’s almost never the people making the decision that get sick. It’s usually their kids. I don’t like punishing the kids for the sake of proving the parents wrong.
