A new study forecasts more than 850,000 measles cases over the next 25 years if US vaccination rates stay the same. Millions of infections are possible if rates drop.
The trouble is really twofold, firstly the people that are most impacted with heavy disease and death from measles are small children (whom have no say in their vaccination status, and we as a community should protect), and the massive additional unnecessary burden that will be placed upon the already struggling healthcare systems.
Just like we saw with covid, this will cause necessary medical procedures & treatments to be delayed, medical staff burnout, and an overall rise in ‘excess mortality’.
All because people have been listening to dipshits ‘just asking questions’ platforming antivaxxers and a rise in vaccine hesitancy due to mass propaganda online through poorly-regulated social media who value clicks and engagement (ragebait) over accuracy.
