Moroccan authorities have sharply ramped up vaccinations against measles after the country was hit by an epidemic of “historic levels”. The government has blamed the measles outbreak, which has so far claimed 120 lives, on the “global anti-vax movement” that sprung up amid the Covid-19 pandemic.#Africa #Morocco #measles #Vaccines #epidemic #fakenews

"He cheered on questionable treatments like cod liver oil, and said that local doctors had achieved 'almost miraculous and instantaneous' recoveries with steroids or antibiotics."

Note that shifting blame for contracting measles to lack of good diet and exercise blames victims in a particularly nasty way that makes invidious insinuations about social class and income. RFKJr. and his kind are models of good health?

"[RFKJr] issued a muffled call for vaccinations in the affected community, but said the choice was a personal one. He suggested that measles vaccine injuries were more common than known, contrary to extensive research. He asserted that natural immunity to measles, gained through infection, somehow also protected against cancer and heart disease, a claim not supported by research."

In an interview posted online last week, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, offered unorthodox, and at times contradictory, messages on vaccination.

TX Health Officials: Don't have "measles parties"! True, back in the 1950s, it was THE way to get immunity and the only way for parents to have a little control over when the kids actually got sick. The vaccine meant not having to wait for an outbreak to get immunity. wired.com/story/measles-partie #measles #immunity #epidemic #outbreak #vaccines

Evidence suggests that measles immunity fades about 10-15 years after vaccination. If it's been more than 10 years since your MMR, or you can't find the latest record of vaccination, update your shot.

And WEAR A MASK. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases of all time. There is NO reason to expose yourself when a KN95/N95 mask offers so much protection.

The number of ongoing and potential epidemics and pandemics we are facing all at once is deeply alarming.

Farzad Mostashari, CEO of Aledade Inc., writes a eulogy for the CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service.

"When you hear, "the CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service class was cancelled and the officers fired" I hope this gives you a sense of what has been lost. Not just the outbreaks that can't be investigated, the surge capacity gone, but our future public health leadership lost."
