@fjc0000 @vitamind10000IU @dr_andrealove The data is hosted on the CDC website cdc.gov/nchs/data/vsus… Page 85 And measles vaccine was not used until 1963

The graph comes from the CDC website. Page 82 of this PDF cdc.gov/nchs/data/vsus…

@DeSchuut @propublica Also factoring in that after the vaccine a diagnosis of measles infection started to include confirmation by a laboratory test, artificially reducing the number of reported vaccine infections

@tomjberge @propublica A child with measles in 1963 had a better chance of surviving in a hospital than it had in 1900. Today we have a higher percentage of immunocompromised individuals (6.6%) and outbreaks hit adults too. You also seem to compare Population Mortality Rate with Case Fatality Rate. 🙄

New: Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available. propub.li/4dKor0O

@DeSchuut @propublica Your data would be very convincing if the past didn't exist. But it does. In the 60 years before the measles vaccine was invented, the death rate from measles dropped by half every 10 years. Extrapolate that and you get the post vax data.

@pan_accindex @propublica For anyone afraid to click on the link to cdc.gov, here is the original graph on page 85 of the PDF. I added the red text to point out when the measles vaccine became available

@pan_accindex @propublica Sir, Please refer to page 85 of Vital Statistics Rates in the United States 1940–1960, U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare Public Health Service cdc.gov/nchs/data/vsus… If you need help finding out when the measles vaccine was first used. I can help with that too

Where is my hero? Who will be my champion?

I think at the heart of the whole vaccine controversy is that children are the recipients. It would be very hard to find one of the vaccine pushers who was willing to take the full schedule for 2-year-olds: 29 injections. Who's willing to step up to the plate?

@s1othlovechunk @propublica Which assumption and which laundry?

@tomjberge @propublica This is called assumption laundering.

@joekent16jan19 They have made 400 kg of 60% U235. A terrorist nation with enough fuel to make six Little Boys... is not a threat?

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

"Australia is making a terrible humanitarian mistake by allowing the Iran National Woman’s Soccer team to be forced back to Iran, where they will most likely be killed. Don’t do it, Mr. Prime Minister, give ASYLUM. The U.S. will take them if you won’t..." - @POTUS

@IanCopeland5 The problem with this study, as with all of the studies cited by the vaccine pushers, is the control group. The control group is not "unvaccinated". The control group received all the other vaccines besides MMR. The only large scale study with proper control found 3x increase

Do vaccines cause autism? The evidence (650,000 person study) would appear to suggest they do not... acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M1…

@DrCatharineY US kindergartener measles vaccination rate, per CDC’s SchoolVaxView: 95.2% in 2019. Since 2021 (when you know what woke a few people up), it has ranged from 92.5 to 92.7%. A 0.2% change between 2023 and 2025 is going to drive an outbreak... 🤔

We are now at 1136 new measles cases - in just the first 8 weeks of this year alone. A preventable disease resurging. This is an abject policy failure.

@SenSanders Why is he talking to a piece of paper? Also the studies he is angry about did not compare vaccinated children to completely unvaccinated children. Only one large-scale study has done that, and it found a 3X higher rate of autism in the vaccinated. 2025 Florida Medicaid study.

The overwhelming scientific evidence is clear: vaccines do not cause autism. So why couldn’t Trump’s nominee for Surgeon General simply say that?

@KrutikaKuppalli pilots and brain surgeons are considered expert when they are good at doing their job. very obvious which ones get the right outcome-- the plane didn't crash and the brain wasn't damaged. not the same thing as an "expert" who just makes assertions

You trust experts to fly your plane. You trust experts to operate on your brain. But for public health, suddenly “experts” are the problem? This is how the word "expert" has become weaponized by MAGA. This is not freedom - it's how people die.

@AhmadRehanKhan 1) Oh no, someone who gives wellness advice for free 😱 2) Described the Hepatitis B vaccine for newborns as a “crime” 🥰🥰🥰 3) Not board certified or licensed = does no have to parrot ideas formed by others 👍

Meet the new Surgeon General nominee, Dr Casey Means. • A non practicing wellness influencer physician • Did not complete her ENT residency training • Never became board certified • Does not hold an active medical license to practice medicine • Has primarily built her career around wellness influencing rather than clinical practice • Promotes the claim that vaccines may cause autism, despite overwhelming scientific evidence refuting this • Questions the effectiveness of flu vaccines in preventing severe illness and hospitalization, contrary to established public health data • Described the Hepatitis B vaccine for newborns as a “crime” • Allegedly has undisclosed financial ties that raise potential conflict of interest concerns The Surgeon General is expected to be the nation’s leading voice on public health, grounded in evidence based medicine, clinical experience, and scientific integrity. These alleged credentials and positions warrant serious scrutiny. #CaseyMeans #SurgeonGeneral

@DrSiyabMD There's two or three cases of measles encephalitis per year, but tens of thousands of new cases of autism, tics, asthma, seizures etc. all of which occur at a higher rate in vaccinated kids. Parents don't make money by vaccinating, so they think differently than doctors.

This story gets increasingly infuriating and insane as you read it. - Mom decides not to vaccinate kids against measles, because of the “unnecessary stuff” in the vaccines and the “damage” she has seen in other kids who got the vaccine. (???) “Why do we need to add so much to our children’s bodies?” she asked.” - Decide to believe antivax nonsense rather than your own doctors. Absolutely idiotic decision, but hey, it's your decision as a parent, fine. - Kids get the measles (totally unnecessarily), and expose others in the community too. Brothers get lucky and recover. This kid unfortunately gets sicker. - Parents say hmm, that’s weird, why is he getting weaker and drifting in and out of consciousness? I thought measles was supposed to be harmless and a quick recovery! (Guess the anti-vaxxers didn't educate them about the risks of measles encephalitis?) - Kid taken to local, smaller, ER, admitted, and placed on antibiotics. God knows what chemicals and “unnecessary stuff” is in these IV fluids and antibiotics, but that doesn’t matter much now, obviously - Unclear diagnosis at this time, doctors recommend transfer to a larger center for evaluation. Totally appropriate thing to do. Parents decline, and say, hey if ALL you're doing is just giving him antibiotics, we’ll just take him home and keep an eye on him and help him get better at home. - He goes home, gets worse, unsurprisingly. Taken emergently to the large hospital. Damn near dies, in the ICU, hooked up to IV lines, tubes, pumped full of fluids and God knows what chemicals, to keep him alive. - MRI consistent with brain swelling, etc, basically: measles encephalitis. Kid is essentially paralyzed. Reminder, this is a serious and potentially deadly complication of measles. No cure. Totally vaccine-preventable condition, so this whole ordeal is totally unnecessary. - Mom says, I STILL wouldn’t give my kids the vaccine, even if I KNEW this would happen. God has a plan. So you would totally let this happen again to another kid of yours? ???????? How cooked are people's brains that they will sacrifice their own kids to... own the libs? This is so tragic. That poor kid. Completely preventable. Basic public health should not be a partisan issue. This administration could have done so much to rebuild the public trust in our public health institutions that was eroded during the pandemic, but nope.

@picphysicians Vax not needed, death rate was plummeting before widely used. cdc.gov/nchs/data/vsus… Page 84

When was the last time you heard of a child getting diphtheria? In the modern U.S., it’s exceptionally rare—especially among children. The annual risk of a child under 10 dying from diphtheria is about 1 in 1.7 million. It has not been proven that the DTaP vaccine is safer than diphtheria itself. Curious why that matters?
