New York governor says case is ‘devastating reminder of what’s at stake’ when vaccine protections are eroded
Hochul linked the death to the federal government’s stance on immunisation, saying: “This is New York’s first measles-related death in 30 years, a devastating reminder of what’s at stake when Washington deliberately erodes decades of progress in protecting Americans from preventable illnesses.”
Measles is a highly contagious virus that can cause serious health complications. Although rare, deaths from measles occur in approximately one to three patients per 1,000 cases.
The US stopped the domestic spread of measles in 2000 by maintaining high vaccination rates, but they have fallen in recent years to below the 95% coverage needed to prevent outbreaks of the viral disease.
Shame the parents that kill their children with ignorant negligence.
Make sure they never forget that it was entirely their fault, and it was entirely preventable.
Can we reverse the hierarchy of this? “I FUCKED KIDS!” / “and did this shit, too!”
I edited one to say raped and it got removed from my device. I gotta get a different os
I live pretty close to where this happened, unfortunately the child who died was a 7 month old Amish boy according to local news.

If only there was a vaccine for such a terrible illness…
I love how the right can both apply the suffering, but also pray for it to go away…or worse, just act shocked to feign ignorance. Backwards people.
You want to know how much sympathy I have with parents who choose to not vaccinate their child and then their child dies of eradicated diseases?
None, whatsoever.
I sympathize with the medical staff caring for this child. The frustration and anguish is awful when something like this happens.
Yeah, it’s on the verge of malicious to choose your child as a contaminant of a dangerous disease and then send them out in the world.
No verge. It’s fully malicious to do this knowingly.
What about for the collateral damage babies who were too young for the vaccine or had it too recently for it to save them? I don’t know which type this article is referring to, but just know that there will be plenty of innocent victims of the ignorants’ recklessness.
They are, like you said, collateral damage. We need to name and shame when people tell us they aren’t vaccinating. Keep your kids away from their kids, complain about them at school and extracurricular activities. They are disease carriers.
“when vaccine protections are eroded” aka “when ignorant pinheads are in power in Federal Government and making decisions that effect the health of us all”.
Making America healthy again.
rename measles to rfk disease
"Good " says Republican Health Moron RFK.
“Now do you want that kid toasted or steamed”
