Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Who are these people who don't vaccinate their kids? I just don't understand it.
Kids will die from measles. But, as @joho.bsky.social always says, death isn't the only bad outcome. Their immune memory will be wiped. They can lose sight or hearing. Or they can die of pan-sclerosing encephalitis.

Vermont and New York health officials are reporting their first measles cases of the year.
The new diagnoses bring the total number of measles cases in the United States this year to 910 (CDC). The United States reported 2,280 measles cases last year, the largest number in three decades.

MAGAs seem to think that if their voter suppression bill pssses, they will hold the majority forever. All voting rights advocates & concerned citizens should look good and hard at the Save America Act’s voter purge reqmts & the related references in the Act to the “SAVE System” overhauled by DOGE.
