Measles cases this year near 1,000. That we know of.
Many of the current cases stem from the outbreak in South Carolina, which the administration told Mother Jones they weren’t especially concerned about in December.

We do have a moral obligation to our children- to protect them from preventable illness and suffering.  For decades, safe and effective vaccines have lived up to that promise, saving millions of lives.  Undermining trust in vaccines doesn’t make America healthy again.  It needlessly puts the people we’re meant to protect in harm’s way.

In some measles cases, the virus does not go away entirely, but rather it hides dormant in the brain. Then, some 7-10 years later, neurological symptoms appear, and the incurable progression of SSPE begins, almost always fatal. Surviving victims are so rare they are written up as case studies. 2/13

A research scientist at a major university who voted for Trump:
I am an NIH-funded biomedical scientist with conservative leanings. I know at least a dozen scientists (a small closeted minority) who voted for Trump, largely because of frustrations with DEl and extreme wokeness that had permeated every aspect of University life. Each one of us deeply regrets their vote for Trump and are utterly ashamed of it.
We are absolutely horrified at how mindlessly destructive this admin has been to scientific institutions. They are single-handedly destroying the STEM dominance US established over decades.
Average Americans simply do not realize that we are now on the verge of a precipitous decline in STEM. We all admit that the warnings about Trump/MAGA were on target, and the thing we argue about now is whether the damage is even reversible. All the Lefty overreach was annoying as hell but the MAGA disdain for science is 100X worse.
