    It’s not good that they’re running out but it’s great that so many people are getting their kids vaccinated that they run out.

      Exactly. Every vaccinated person is another unlikely vector to pass the disease along further, and we’re all better for it.

    If only there was some kind of preventative treatment we could give people so they could never get sick from the measles to begin with…

      Depends on when you got it. They are worried about people who got it in the late 60s to early 90s, since I think they were doing a one dose vaccine then. MMR since then is a double dose and lasts for life. If you’re 35+ you should check with a doctor to see if you need a booster.

    They need to fuck off and deal with the virus with their #masterrace genetics.

    Make your bed, lay in it.

    You don’t get to run to vaccines after you advocated for the dismantling of public health in this country. Let the virus destroy your worthless ass for being so stupid.

      Yeah fuck those kids who can’t decide for themselves to get vaccinated! They should’ve been born to smarter parents!

      Allowing people to get measles puts the general population at risk in addition to the asshole parents (and sadly their kids). The vaccine has something like a 97% immunity effectiveness after 2 doses (so less than that for only the 1st), but that means 3% of people that did the right thing could still contract and spread measles without hurd immunity.

      You don’t have to assume the worst and jump to the most hateful conclusion.

      A lot of people in my age group are getting boosters because there was a period (maybe 1967-71 or something like that) when some people got one instead of two shots and there were two different vaccines used, one that was more effective than the other.

        The first vaccine from 57-67 wasn’t as effective and needs boosters. The second vaccine from 67-~78 was one shot and should’ve been 2. So there’s 20 years of people just finding out how they need boosters.
