“The measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

If only there was another proven way of doing this without the risk of serious complications of getting sick.

    The measles can wipe out your other immunities! You’d be so much better getting the vaccine.

    At the risk of being banned, I hope this guy gets the Mushroom Kingdom treatment. He has the potential to snuff out exponentially more American and global lives than the most bloodthirsty immigration detective or prosecutor.

    Maybe we could make a weakened form of the virus that would give you immunity without getting you sick? That way everyone could get measles without a lot of people dying.

    We could call it “a vaccine.”

    I have a young child. I have absolutely ZERO interest in them being harmed by completely ignorant policy. Fuck this guy & fuck this regime.

    “Never interrupt the enemy when they are making a mistake”

    But the rest of you - You might wanna consider a MMR booster, maybe a TDAP while you are at it. We like keeping the good guys around…

    2 doses spaced 28 days apart gives 97% efficacy against ever catching the measles. 1 dose gives 93%. If 95% of the population gets a vaccination the disease is functionally eradicated

    But take the words of a Kennedy who spent his youth as an elite committing petty crime, vandalism, theft, and dealing drugs despite having access to extreme wealth. His reward for continually fucking up was a Harvard education and an illustrious law career. Who then started a 15 year heroin and cocaine addiction and by his words kicked it after getting busted for possession the first time in his life (aka the first time he managed to experience a consequence, which took shockingly long). And of course we believe that like all heroin addicts he was able to just kick a decade and a half addiction after one round of rehab through straight willpower, despite have access to connections and some of the deepest pocketbooks in the country

    The man has been full of shit since his teens. It is a shame because his family appears to have given him the circumstances to utterly ruin him via consistently giving no consequence for terrible behavior. At the same time I have little sympathy for him because unlike many of us peons who struggle with families that give poor boundaries and no consequences, his artificially removed them because they had access to obscene wealth and privilege. He didn’t have to worry about doing heroin, or assaulting women, or stealing shit. Dad would take care of it. All while living in luxury. Fuck him. I will continue to post defaming his character because people posting “worm in his brain” truly don’t get the extent of how much of a monster he is or the Kennedy dynasty is (look up rosemary kennedy for more Kennedy atrocities)

    Or what of there was some way to give everyone a tiny dose of the measles so that their immune system can learn it and attack it without even getting sick??

    Maybe if they make the virus weakened or figure out some way to deactivate it?

    Gosh, someone should work on this. It’s a great idea…

      How will that serve the interests of the eugenicists who believe disease is a powerful tool of ethnic cleansing and of purging people with disabilities?
