It’s baffling to me that so much of the U.S. (and the world) has decided that letting their kids get sick at school all the time (and spread illness to their parents and everyone else) is preferable to just … adequately cleaning indoor air

I’ll never forgive Biden and the Democrats for lying and saying the pandemic’s over & caving so quickly on clean indoor air & the need for continued masking. It’s because of them that the vast majority of otherwise “sensible & reasonable” people mistakenly think COVID’s a cold.

If convincing people to get the measles vaccine is ‘slow going’ this calls for a vaccine-PLUS approach.

"If Covid damaged our immune systems, we would be seeing record outbreaks of other diseases." That was the argument in 2022. Three years later, we're having the worst resurgence of flu, tuberculosis, measles, and whooping cough in generations.
The U.S. is on track to have the worst whooping cough outbreak since 1948. Some regions are reporting that they are struggling to do contact tracing of cases because they are ALSO managing measles investigations.
And, of course, funding cuts to public health have resulted in fewer resources.
