Surely the natural immunization acquired in this way cannot be worse than unnatural vaccines!
We'll get new numbers on that page this Friday, but the number of cases in Texas alone (per other reporting) now exceeds the national total from last week. Spring break is coming up which means a lot more travel for families so we're probably going to see it spread even wider.
To make sure that everybody gets measles, they could bottle it in vials and give children a carefully dosed injection. Maybe an attenuated measles strain instead of the most dangerous form. Surely the natural immunization acquired in this way cannot be worse than unnatural vaccines!
> Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.
> “Are you feeling all right?” I asked her.
> “I feel all sleepy,” she said.
> In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.

> I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach‘. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG‘, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children.

a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.
> "It used to be, when I were a kid, that everybody got measles. And the measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection" I suppose the kids who were hospitalized and died did, technically, gain "lifetime protection from measles"! If "natural" inoculation was that effective and that safe, you know hwat? The disease would already be extinct generations ago , and we wouldn't be having these discussions.…
With a death rate of 0.3%, that means 12,000 dead children every single year to satisfy this guy's conspiracy-theories about vaccines.
That doesn't include the ones who die later from other diseases because measles has damaged their immune-system, or the ones who survive with brain damage.

> It Would Be Better if ‘Everybody Got Measles’
was basically a lie. He did not say that.
I'm pro vax and think RFK is an idiot but also believe in not lying. It's kind of annoying. And counter productive.
I mean you trying to save lives by countering misinformation and then your own side starts putting out misinformation hence somewhat legitimising the whole mess.
There is a reason these vaccines were developed in the first place.
