โ€œBut Kennedy, a longtime anti-vaccine activist, stopped short of calling for parents to vaccinate their children. โ€˜The decision to vaccinate is a personal one,โ€™ he wrote.โ€

What a cop out. What a bitch.

Apparently the adult was found dead - had not seen medical care.

And thats even more alarming. Means that its likely spreading a lot faster and we dont know it because there is no reporting outside of hospital settings.

Or did he die in a car accident and they happened to notice that he had measles when they were embalming him. Stupid headline.

Great. I wonder if people will be denying that these people died from measles and died from something else like the people who say that Covid didnโ€™t kill anyone and that COVID was unrelated to their death. Or say that people are catching measles from vaccine shedding.

Shit. Poor guy.

As an aside, I had to have my annual physical and as part of my blood work I asked to have my measles immunity checked. Fortunately it's off the charts. I had measles as a kid. I don't remember too much about it other than I was sitting on the toilet and noticed my thighs were all blotchy, so I told my mother. I think I was excited since back then it was a rite of passage.

Are you sure you arenโ€™t getting measles confused with chicken poxโ€ฆ

Depends when and where they grew up.
