Looks like freedom to get a preventable disease is better than submitting to a public health common sense measure. Next thing you know they'll refuse to get driver licenses. It's the dawn of the sovereign citizen insanity stage. Many will love it. many will die. The ones who love it will still love it in the face of reality.

Yep. Some innocents will die, too.

Newborn babies exposed to measles in Texas hospital

On Wednesday, a woman gave birth in a Lubbock, Texas, hospital in the middle of a deadly and fast-growing measles outbreak. Doctors didn’t realize until the young mother had been admitted and in labor that she was infected with the measles.

By that time, other new moms, newborn babies and their families at University Medical Center Children’s Hospital in Lubbock had unknowingly been exposed to the virus, considered one of the most contagious in the world.

Hospital staff are scrambling with damage control efforts — implementing emergency masking policies and giving babies as young as three days old injections of immunoglobulin, an antibody that helps their fragile immune system fight off infections....

The pro-vax parents must be beside themselves with needless worry.

I'm pretty sure I had measles when I was a kid. Or maybe it was chicken pox. I remember having something that gave me a bunch of little red spots. I know I had the mumps; I remember how my cheeks sort of swelled up and would jiggle if I moved fast. I remember my mom being real concerned that I not exert myself....she thought I could render myself sterile. Anyway, I survived. And generated another generation. I owe it all to Dr. Flanary, who I remember coming to the house and taking my temperature. With an oral thermometer. He had a black bag and a black car. That was back when everybody knew what ws true an what was bullshit. ok

... That was back when everybody knew what was true and what was bullshit. ok

This would have been during the lead up to our entering the Vietnam War, right?

We did correctly trust vaccines, though.

Actually it was a few years before that. I remember two kids in elementary school who had braces on their legs because they had polio. I didn't know shit about polio other than it was bad. It was about 61 or 62. I remember getting vaccinations; even at school. One was an oral vaccine....might have been for polio. And I remember taking a sugar cube with some kind of vaccine in it. That was before I knew about LSD, though.

The pre-LSD sugar cube was polio.

We were fully funding the French until they got their asses kicked in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954. They left by 1956 and from that point on we propped up a series of incompetent jerks in the South, including with "advisors" courtesy of JFK. You know the rest better than most.

I remember thinking how weird it was to be dong a medical thing by just sucking on a sugar cube; I think it had sort of a pink dot on it. Prior to that, my only experience with medical stuff was shots or a piece of paper directing me to take some amount of spoonfuls of some vile bad tasting shit whose benefit was mostly how I wished I wasn't sick and didn't have to take this shit.

I didn't really understand or pay attention to Vietnam until about 67 when things started to slip and the "reports" didn't seem to fit with the reality. You's see it every night on tv but then you'd see Nixon and McNamara on tv saying things are gong just fine. Then a few years after that, Ellsberg blew the whistle and that's when I really started wanting to start stomping. I guess I've been stomping to a feverish beat ever since. More so now. Stomping emoji.

Clearly a gateway drug to LSD, nttawwt. Sugar cubes had a good run!
