Diseases reintroduced by JFK Jr:
Chicken Pox, Diphtheria, Measles, Pertussis, Pneumococcal Disease, Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Yellow Fever, Smallpox.
And spreading more quickly because of JFK jr.: Covid, Bird Flu, Salmonella, E. Coli.
Fortunately, the #GOP and their families, as well as all Republican talk show hosts and their viewers, are immune to all these diseases. Aren't they lucky. [snark] #MAGA #Epidemics #Pandemics #Antivaxxers
Unvaccinated children continue to be hospitalized for measles, a disease which is 97-98% preventable with two doses of the MMR vaccine. "Ontario's measles report says there have been 101 hospitalizations, including 75 children. Eight patients have been in intensive care." #antivaxxers #unvaccinated #children #MMR #vaccines #measles #hospitals #medicine https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/measles-ontario-200-new-cases-1.7530047#:~:text=Public%20Health%20Ontario's%20measles%20report,first%20since%20this%20outbreak%20began.

"Stupid #antivaxxers" is a tautology and a pleonasm (a bit like saying "tautology and pleonasm").
This #flu season, the U.S. has had the most child flu deaths in 15 years. This is the future the #antivaxxers want. And now one of them leads #HHS
Trump administration ends Denver study of building trust among Black parents in flu shots
How to talk about vaccines with parents – or anyone – is taking on new urgency: At least 216 U.S. children died of flu this season, the worst pediatric toll in 15 years

People have to do a much better job of countering the stupid RFK Jr opposition to vaccines when texts that corroborate his language can easily be found by anti vaxxers.

' “Of the 633 Texarkana #measles cases, 606 (nearly 96 percent of the total) occurred in people who resided in the Texas portion of the city,” Ratner explains [...]
'Kennedy would do well to study the outcome of the Texarkana measles outbreak as he fails to endorse mandates for immunization and recommends cod-liver oil and steroids.'

Controversial doc gets #measles while treating unvaccinated kids—keeps working - https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/04/controversial-doc-gets-measles-while-treating-unvaccinated-kids-keeps-working/ "Ben Edwards has grown popular in Texas for providing unproven measles treatments." #antivaxxers are such idiots
"#Virulent: The Vaccine War"
"[T]he film's worst prediction - that fear of the #CovidVaccine would lead to distrust of all #vaccines - is coming true as we see in the current #measles outbreaks.
"Virulent also exposes the ways in which the #antivaccineMovement led by #RobertFKennedyJr weaponizes history to target Black Americans and other minority communities."

Anti-Vaxxers Are Grifting Off the Measles Outbreak—and Claim a Bioweapon Caused It

“spin-off of the US-based #CPAC – short for Conservative Political Action Conference – the #Sydney-based outfit described itself as a “values-based” organisation that “espouses the best of #Howard, #Reagan and #Thatcher while exploring new ideas and themes for the coming generations”.
Guests at the August event included #OneNation senator Pauline Hanson, Michelle Pearse, the CEO of the #AustralianChristianLobby, and broadcaster and soon-to-be alleged sex offender, #AlanJones.
Overseas talent included Jay Aeba, chairman of the Japanese Conservative Union and Heather Wilson, mother of six and co-founder of #GiveSendGo, a #Christian #crowdfunding network which has helped raise money for #NeoNazis and #AntiVaxxers”
“Then, in 2018, investment banker and long-time #ClimateConspiracist Maurice Newman, billionaire storage king Sam Kennard, and David Adler, of the #FarRight Australian Jewish Association (AJA), got together to form #AdvanceAustralia. Money was no problem: #HedgeFund manager and #Liberal Party donor Simon Fenwick tipped in $190,000; a further $400,000 came from Sydney #Establishment couple Rodney and Judith O’Neil, and the Taylor #winemaking family.
Advance pitched itself as a champion of the #SilentMajority – #HowardsBattlers 2.0. But its real concerns were better expressed by another early backer, #hotelier James Power, who was then engaged in a battle to prevent women from becoming members of #Brisbane’s #Tattersall’s Club.”
If you noticed a darker turn to the election this week, here’s a good explanation of the WHY and HOW. Also I see Tony 
got a new job.

#Measles Cases Are Rising. Other Preventable Diseases Could Follow - https://www.wired.com/story/measles-cases-are-rising-other-diseases-could-follow/ "Amid an ongoing measles outbreak, the US is also facing a surge in #pertussis, or whooping cough. As vaccine rates drop, other diseases could be next." #antivaxxers
Vaccines cause autism? FUCK NO! Some vaccines may have mild side effects, but NO-vaccines cause deaths, which is way worse than mild side effects FFS! #antivaxxers morons!
Poilievre's rally attendees drive trucks with "F Trudeau" stickers. Inside, another woman was handing out copies of a newspaper dedicated to spreading COVID vaccine conspiracies. One man had scribbled “you can't cancel all of us!” twice on his white Poilievre hat. A man wearing a Canadian flag cape was showing off a picture of F**K CARNEY flag. Yet, Poilievre makes no attempts to reach regular Canadians. #antivaxxers #conspiracytheorists #canada #election #conservatives https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/canadians-are-finally-seeing-the-real-pierre-poilievre-that-s-a-problem-for-the-conservative/article_1230af05-a1a1-4fea-89f8-ecd13df74377.html
