"Modeling Reemergence of Vaccine-Eliminated Infectious Diseases Under Declining Vaccination in the US"

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2833361

"At current state-level vaccination rates, measles may become endemic again; increasing vaccine coverage would prevent this. Under a 50% decline in childhood vaccination in the US, the simulation model predicted 51.2 million #measles cases over a 25-year period, 9.9 million #rubella cases, 4.3 million #poliomyelitis cases, 197 #diphtheria cases, 10.3 million hospitalizations, and 159,200 deaths."

Note that the graphic is labeled "25% decline in childhood vaccination" not 50%. I think this is because the authors wanted an "average" of their models for the graphic. Bottom line: It's bad at 25% and can only get worse! Also note that the #measles numbers are much larger because it is so much more contagious!

People... this would be an *appalling* outcome of the current anti-vax, anti-science, anti-child confusion and policies of the current #Trump administration!

Dr. Sugerman, a snr scientist leading #CDC’s #measles response, highlighted #COVID-19 #funding cuts before a fed advisory panel: “We are scraping to find the resources & personnel needed to provide support to #Texas, & other jurisdictions.”

#Health Secy #RFKJr has overseen the huge reductions in force & budget after casting doubt on #vaccines for decades. In the current measles #outbreak, he is promoting unproven treatments while giving a tepid endorsement of the measles, #mumps & #rubella vax.

@wdlindsy
CERTAINLY #Mumps is likely to be among the first childhood diseases to make a big comeback since Mumps & #Measles (and #Rubella) all share a vaccine.

But look at the bright side, one of the most significant consequences of catching the Mumps as an adult is infertility. 🤔 #Darwin

Yikes! You may not be immune to #measle#s #mumps and #rubella if you've had the MMR years ago

As cases increase in some places, a Yale #Medicine specialist reviews the groups, including some adults, who should get a #measles #vaccine or #booster.

The #CDC notes that all Americans should be up to date on their measles, #mumps, & #rubella (#MMR) vaccine.

In a prerecorded interview that aired on #FauxNews, #RFKJr said that the federal government was shipping doses of vitamin A to Gaines County, the epicenter of the outbreak, & helping to arrange ambulance rides. [AYFKM?]

#HHS officials PREVIOUSLY said they were shipping doses of the #measles #mumps #rubella [#MMR]vaccine to #Texas, but RFKJr did not discuss vaccination.

Case of German measles confirmed in San Antonio at Legacy Traditional School (rubella)

"On Thursday, Legacy Traditional School - Cibolo sent an email to parents and guardians of students, informing them of the confirmed infection.

Chris Van Deusen with the Texas Department of State Health Services (DHSH) said it is important to note the difference between German Measles (Rubella) and Measles (Rubeola), which is more contagious and poses a much greater health risk."

(Update: possible false alarm...)

Dear Bobby 🤪 You Lying, Croaking, Insane, Fuck. Vaccines work! Vaccines have eliminated: Cholera, 1978, Diphtheria, 1940s, Malaria, 1951, Measles, 2000 Polio, 1979 Rubella, 2004 Yellow Fever, 1905 Vaccines have eradication: Smallpox, 1980 #Kennedy #Vaccines #Polio #Measles #Rubella #Smallpox

Even Adults May Soon Be Vulnerable to ‘Childhood’ Diseases
#Outbreaks among the #unvaccinated are a predictable consequence of falling immunization rates. But even #vaccinated adults may be vulnerable to some illnesses.
There were more than 32,000 cases of #whoopingcough in #2024.
#Antivaccine campaigns often targeted the #MMR #vaccine, which protects against #measles, #mumps and #rubella. Experts tend to worry most about a resurgence of measles.

🌿 Rubella: The Quiet Threat! Rubella, often called German measles, might seem mild in children, but for pregnant women, it poses a serious risk. This viral infection can lead to Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS), causing severe birth defects. Learn more from Tshepy Malope's insightful article and protect yourself and your loved ones.

Australia was declared rubella-free in 2018 but the risks are still there from other countries so women are still advised of the risks as in this current poster. #healthcampaigns #propaganda #vaccinations #rubella

This New Zealand poster about rubella in pregnancy is from 2020. #healthcampaigns #propaganda #vaccinations #rubella

This is a common poster explaining Congenital Rubella Syndrome but I have been unable to find the original source. #healthcampaigns #propaganda #vaccinations #rubella

The link between rubella and birth complications was discovered in 1942 and a vaccine was authorised in 1969, four years after "Time" highlighted what it called "a little-publicized epidemic". #healthcampaigns #propaganda #vaccinations #rubella

Had my MMR jab. I’m not sure who’s eligible (I did get the jabs I was supposed to have as a teenager), but it’s worth getting done if you are

#Measles outbreaks cause alarm: what the data say https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00265-8 “On 19 January, the UK Health Security Agency (#UKHSA), the public-health authority, declared a national incident over rising cases of measles. The agency has logged more than 300 cases in England since 1 October 2023

A decline in uptake of the #measles, #mumps and #rubella (#MMR) vaccine, which is given in two doses, during the COVID-19 pandemic has spurred the spread of the disease across England and the rest of Europe”

#Measles cases are rising in Europe because fewer children are protected with the measles, #mumps and #rubella (MMR) vaccine. Convicted Dr Wakefield, who's fake research caused a lot of fear over #vaccines, has a lot to answer for. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00265-8?utm_source=Live+Audience&utm_campaign=673c72a9c4-briefing-dy-20240201&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b27a691814-673c72a9c4-50179668
