Someone needs to remove RFK Jr from power before he gets everyone killed. But I worry that he's just the tip of the moronberg.
They will, but unfortunately they'll take the rest of us with them.
Unfortunately. I bet they don’t because their parents by and large weren’t selfish assholes. So the antivaxers are vaccinated. Their poor children are going to suffer for the ignorance of their parents and it makes me furious.
My vaccinated teen recently had this. He wasn't diagnosed until his fourth doctor's appointment. His cough sounded terrifying. He got instantly better when they gave him the correct antibiotic (he finished a 10 day course of augmentin with virtually no improvement earlier in his illness). He still hasn't been completely healthy even though he has been "over it" for a couple of weeks.
My observations: I can see how pertussis could be life threatening in the very young or old and fuck antivaxxers - we ought to have herd immunity.
PSA: If you haven't had a tdap booster for about a decade, go get one
I've been dealing with confirmed whooping cough for 2 months now, it's the worst. When I got it, I saw a doctor, got tested and went on a week of antibiotics... thought it was over until I had to run for a bus and had no lung capacity. Even still, felt better until getting a common cold a month later and the whole thing returned and won't go away. It's not just the cough, it's also splitting migraines and whole body pain emanating from the ribs from coughing so much and so violently, and a lack of sleep and all those symptoms too. Luckily it was just me who got the worst of it.
This past Friday, the schools just sent home a letter advising Scarlet Fever is rampant, never ends.
Good opportunity to get your tetanus booster, if you haven’t within the past 10 years; Tdap protects against tetanus, whooping cough, and diphtheria.
So many children will die...
I once heard a baby with whooping cough. I'm almost crying now just remembering. I think that sound would change the mind of many anti-vaxxers, except by the time people hear it, it is too late to prevent their anti-vax beliefs causing harm
"It was clearly their time, they're in a better place now 🙏"
🤮
After suffering horribly first.
RFK Jr “Those are rookie numbers. We got to get those numbers up.”
Wait till they ban vaccines in the U.S. You won't hear big pharma complain, it's much more expensive to continuously treat than to eradicate/vwccinate or cure.
Big corpos are lining up for one hell of a 4 year feast, and it's going to take decades to undo the damage. Thanks Obama.
Big Pharma will just invest in Big Funeral
