Striking difference between television funded by cereal and vacuum cleaner ads and a television funded by pharmaceutical ads. How measles were handled then vs now

@CigsMake @grok Which portrayal of measles is more exaggerated, Brady Bunch (no big deal) or SVU (very big deal)?

@CigsMake @jeffreytucker It's so weird that people point back to a fictional show produced over 50yo as evidence for something.

@CigsMake Then we did not know of the long term problems created by measles and the bodies ability to heal itself. We also did not have a widely distributed vaccination. Now we know but have a quack convincing people not to vaccinate. but of course it is the ads that did it?

Don't ever let your 12 year old ride his bike around the block, you will have child welfare agents knocking down your door and tazing you, geez. No wonder today we have a bunch of whiny bitches who complain about prices and when they're not going to make $100,000 day 1 out of college. That's after they took out a loan for a "studies" degree that essentially makes them a Starbucks employee for life. Then they cry that their SNAP benefits won't let them buy junk food or McDonalds.

@CigsMake Like a lot of things we don't have to live through, anymore, measles was something people in '69 just had to accept as the vaccine had just come out. Cases dropped off a cliff in the following year or two.

@CigsMake If one kid in the neighborhood got measles all the housewives would have a play day for all the kids so they all got it and got over it at the same time. I went throught it in 1969 when I was 5.

@CigsMake Vaccines kill. Stay away from the poison, and if one person says...what about Polio, that's the biggest joke of them all.

@CigsMake That and the fact that Millennials/Gen Z are as neurotic, hypochondriac and poorly educated AF. Just the way Government and Pharma-industrial complex like them to be.

@CigsMake We received MMR vaccines as kids but our parents exposed us the chickenpox.

@CigsMake This episode aired on December 26, 1969. The MMR vaccine was introduced in 1971, you fucking dipshit

@CigsMake @jeffreytucker The problem for them is that after the pandemic not even highly educated people with multiple degrees are falling for this bullshit anymore. A snake oil salesman in a white lab coat is still a snake oil salesman and we aren’t buying it anymore.

@grok The above clip contrasts clips from two TV shows, one from the Brady Bunch and one from a modern episode of SVU, apparently showing wildly different reactions by adults to the plot line of a kid getting the measles. Give me the steel man case for why measles would be a greater concern to families now than it was in the Brady Bunch era?

@CigsMake Cartel TV. Great video. Point made.

@CigsMake ⬆️ “Existential dread” The new Gen-Z breakfast cereal?

@CigsMake Anyone with 100ish IQ would take 1 look at the measles death per year graph & notice that it greatly reduced before the vaccine was introduced. Proper hygiene, washing hands, sanitation etc make far greater effect than vaccines as per history, also not importing the 3rd world

@CigsMake I got german measles in the 2nd grade. The doctor told me to go to school and kiss all the girls. He was kidding of course but the point was they wanted all girls to have it so they could not get it while pregnant.

@CigsMake Law & Order: SVU – 'The Measles'

@CigsMake Beside the point but how did they turn measles, overblown or not, into an "SVU" story

@CigsMake Measles in an infant can be fatal Healthy daughter Intubated at 9mos from measles in 1973.

@CigsMake Measles were virtually nonexistent here until Biden imported it back in at the border.

@CigsMake Measles hospitalizes 20% of kids under 5 but no worries your child probably wont die from it. I hope you have 50k under a mattress to pay for the hospital bills.

@CigsMake I had the measles and the mumps when I was a kid. My brother had rubella and the Dr made a house call to check on him. My kids didn't have either but all of us got chickenpox, my kids in elementary school and me in my 30's. Fortunately we all had pretty mild cases.

@CigsMake Very poignant observation how things like the measles was treated 60 years ago bs today. x.com/CigsMake/statu…

@CigsMake Yes, when my older sister got chickenpox my mom kept all five kids home so we’d all get it together and be done with it.

@CigsMake So ridiculous. We didn't even go to the doctor.

@CigsMake We did it the Brady Bunch way at our house. Even the neighbor kids were sent over. Long, long time ago.

@CigsMake ddamn lol. however we did eradicate smallpox.

@CigsMake @LisaPow33260238 Casual headline in 1988.

@CigsMake I had measles early 1960s. No meds but I remember my room had to stay dark. Never caught mumps or chicken pox.

@CigsMake @SVUWritersRoom @nbc - seriously?? @FoxNews @CBSNews @CDCgov @SecKennedy @WSJ - great to see some reporting on this….

@CigsMake @frenlyfritz Just watched the episode of Cheers where Dr Cranes 2yo came down with chicken pox

@CigsMake That’s right—take medical advice from an old TV show from the 70s instead of a doctor. We already have a freak who chops off rotting whale heads and raccoon wieners to “study” in charge of public health. Antivaxxer nitwits

@CigsMake Imagine using a 56 year old sitcom episode written by a staff writer with no medical training as medical advice.

@CigsMake Was that SVU? Sexually transmitted measles?

@CigsMake why? If the vaccine works, then why do the vaccinated fear the unvaccinated?
