On Friday CDC issued a health network advisory on measles and travel. Make sure you are up to date with MMR vaccine before travel especially if going to an area with measles outbreaks. Babies 6 -11mo in TX counties with measles outbreaks should receive an early MMR dose.

Vaccines don’t cause autism.
Vaccines aren’t even associated with autism.
The biggest predictor of autism?
GENETICS.
We have decades of data and millions of data points that to show this.
This lie insults people with autism too — as if it’s an “adverse effect” of medicine.

To slow the spread of measles, we need widespread vaccination. We are weeks behind.
MeV incubation period is ~12 days AND it takes 2 weeks to develop protection after vaccination.
The fact RFK Jr hasn’t ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED vaccination for everyone eligible should tell you his words are empty.

Measles is caused by a virus.
There are no antivirals for illness.
Treatment is symptom management & supportive care.
Treatment is NOT:
• antibiotics (it’s a virus)
• unproven wellness products
• cod liver oil, “nutrition hacks,” or supplements.
We can prevent measles:
with the MMR vaccine.

All the Democrats should’ve walked out with Rep. Green.
Tuned into Trump's joint address to Congress just in time to see Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), a 77-year-old Black man with a cane who has served for 20 years, being removed from the House chamber for shouting, "He has no mandate."
This is going just as I would have guessed.
