“Leaders at the CDC ordered staff this week not to release their experts’ assessment that found the risk of catching measles is high in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lagging, according to internal records reviewed by ProPublica.”

At 3C of global warming: “No more mortgages, no new real estate development, no long-term investment, no financial stability. The financial sector as we know it ceases to function. And with it, capitalism as we know it ceases to be viable.” Pretty sobering, and the threshold may be lower than 3C.

Macron dismisses Russian demands as ‘coalition of the willing’ gathers in Paris for Ukraine talks – Europe live
French president rules out any lifting of sanctions and says European forces could be deployed to mark ‘clear support’ Among the European leaders expected in Paris, we are going to see the British prime minister, Keir Starmer, who said in a statement released overnight that “unlike President Zelenskyy, Putin has shown he’s not a serious player in these peace talks.” He said: “Playing games with the agreed naval ceasefire in the Black Sea despite good faith participation from all sides – all while continuing to inflict devastating attacks on the Ukrainian people. His promises are hollow. The US is playing a leading role by convening the ceasefire talks, President Zelenskyy has demonstrated his commitment repeatedly, and Europe is stepping up to play its part to defend Ukraine’s future. Now Putin needs to show he’s willing to play ball.” Continue reading...

I’m quietly meditating tonight… yet there are 2 chilling thoughts keep haunting me—

📌1. Measles is not just highly infectious with R0 of 12-18, but it has a long ***2 WEEK*** INCUBATION period—ie Texas outbreak could be in the HUNDREDS or more already, and we are seeing just the early tip of iceberg. About 20% of cases are hospitalized traditionally. 

📌2. Measles infection partly wipes out memory B cells memory of how to fight past infections. Ie. Your immunity to past infections (that you’ve successfully defeated in the past) may be partly wiped out by measles. ➡️Read: this also includes wiping away immunity achieved thru past vaccinations for other diseases, not just past infection acquired immunity. 

Both the details above give me chills thinking about the larger consequences of a potential massive measles outbreak.
