Vaccine protests are not new in Toronto and the GTA. You can read the charts. We also need to bring back the isolation hospitals. The one shown here is now called Riverdale Hospital. Conveniently located near the Don Jail it housed some of the overload. Also some of the mental misfits.

The image is an illustrated poster featuring a stylized female figure with red hair and blue eyes, holding a flower in her right hand. The background has contrasting dark and light shades of navy blue and white. Bold capital letters spell out "PROTECT HER" at the top, followed by smaller text stating "FROM TUBERCULOSIS." Additional information includes: "CONSULTATION OF YOUR DOCTOR OR CLINIC MEANS PREVENTION," with a note that this poster is part of a Federal Art Project initiative. The illustration style appears to be from an early 20th-century public health campaign, aimed at raising awareness and encouraging regular medical checkups as a preventive measure for tuberculosis.

Important to note that #Measles (aka #Rubeola) is the 👉 Most Contagious👈 human disease that currently exists on the planet!

It is also one of the 👉 most preventable👈 with #Vaccines. Safe and effective vaccines I might add.

Any #deaths or #disabilities caused by Measles are completely unnecessary tragedies.

From: ccjm.org/content/86/6/393.long (2019, hashtags added)

"Late sequelae of measles infection are related in part to serious mucosal damage and generalized immune suppression caused by the #virus. Even after recovery from acute infection, children can have persistent #diarrhea and #failure_to_thrive, with increased #mortality risk in the months after infection. #Tuberculosis can reactivate in patients already infected, and new tuberculosis infection can be especially severe. Further, tuberculosis skin tests become less reliable immediately after measles infection. Severe disease and fatalities are increased in populations that have baseline #vitamin_A deficiency and #malnutrition.

Death from measles is most often caused by viral #pneumonia, secondary bacterial pneumonia, and postviral #encephalitis.

👉 Before the vaccine era, measles encephalitis occurred in the United States in about 1 in 1,000 measles cases.👈

Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis is a rare, late, and often fatal complication of measles that presents 7 to 10 years after acute measles infection, usually in adolescence. Beginning with myoclonic jerks, stiffening, and slow mental deterioration, it progresses over 1 to 3 years, with a relentless degenerative course leading to #death. Since the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1957, this disease has essentially disappeared in the United States."

Think about that... with current trends, 7-10 years from now we'll be seeing young people dying of "sclerosing panencephalitis" again... and for what?!

Targeting the PrrAB energy regulatory system in Mycobacterium tuberculosis with a CRISPR interference and experimental drug regime is a one-two punch that effectively kills the bacterium in culture.

"Because humans do not have this kind of system, drugs that target PrrAB could potentially kill the bacterium without harming human cells."

“The most recent cases in Kansas City are the largest outbreak ever recorded in the U.S.,” Haller said. “There’s about 120 confirmed cases and more than 100 people undergoing therapy. For this outbreak, there’s no direct link to travel.”

Haller added that many people underestimate how widespread TB remains. “About one in four people around the globe have been infected with TB,” he said. “It’s a huge global problem. People don’t realize how big of an issue it actually is.”

📢 Join us next Tuesday for a webinar exploring how IMI and EDCTP projects are advancing the development of a much-needed new () treatment 👉 link.europa.eu/WbjvxK
During its development, the treatment, dubbed alpibectir, has benefited from support from IMI project TRIC-TB, Global Health EDCTP3 project bETo-TB, and it's now in phase 2 clinical trials through IMI project UNITE4TB.

tuberculosis is not a relic of medical history. It remains the leading infectious cause of death worldwide—and America is hardly immune.
