[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41JabapebNo]

South Carolina's Spartanburg County has become the epicenter of the largest measles outbreak in more than 30 years. Some doctors fear that outbreaks like this one are becoming the new normal.

There's always some ailment that they want to scare us with. Just the medical field trying to make more money.

Of course we all have diabetes, COPD, and autism by default, but apparently that isn't enough.

They mention covid in the video and how it jaded people's views on vaccines. Well yeah because there were too many conflicting reports during the pandemic.

Now that they have run covid scares into the ground, they are going to drudge up other ailments to try to scare the public.

@HoeBag Do you think we should stop vaccinating everyone?
HoeBag · 51-55, F
@MoveAlong People can do what they want but if they got vaccinated for every health scare that the CDC sh*ts out, people would d*e of over-vaccination.

Let's be honest, they keep cranking out new health scares but NOW they are recycling classic ones.
I mean it is just too much, one would have make an entire lifestyle of trying to avoid every new and recycled scare.

@HoeBag I don't know what you mean about health scares. No one is running around with their hair on fire panicking. It's plain, simple and proven that vaccines prevent and reduce the severity and duration of many communicable diseases. There is absolutely no evidence that vaccines contribute to autism if that is what you fear.

I don't see where it makes much sense to chance getting a disease that is preventable. But OK then.

@HoeBag Eradicating preventable childhood diseases was one of the greatest achievements of the 20th century. If you think this is about "scaring" people you have led too sheltered a life and are missing the point.
@SunshineGirl What’s more, RFK, Jr has cut funding for numerous types of cutting edge technology and research in medicine.

One of the most distressing is the mRNA technology for rapid development of highly targeted vaccines. And not just to diseases. This technology holds very real promise for vaccines to various cancers, endocrine diseases, inborn errors of metabolism, etc. that just decades ago were largely untreatable.

He and his baseless conspiracy theories have set back medicine by decades. This is criminal negligence on the part of tRUMP and Kennedy.
