The local (#Houston) news last night reported that the number of #Measles cases in West #Texas continues to explode.
Of the 124 "confirmed" cases of the HIGHLY INFECTIOUS (and preventable) disease, ALL BUT 23 ARE CHILDREN (that's 101 kids.)

countdown to a bunch of kids in idaho dying in a measles epidemic:
"A former independent MP, who was permanently expelled from the #Conservative Party after comparing the use of #Covid jabs to the #Holocaust" claims he lost due to vote rigging.
Amanda Hack (new Labour MP): “The explanation for absence of voting papers with a cross against Andrew’s name is simple. People didn’t vote for him."

One common feature of various anti-science ideologies is that their adherents lack a sense of scale. #FlatEarthers don’t understand distance, #creationists don’t understand time, #climate change #denialists don’t understand levels of emissions or rate of temperature change, #antivaxers don’t understand population morbidity and mortality. Probably other types of looniness with which I’m less familiar have the same underlying problem.
In a way I sympathize with this, because the numbers are so far outside normal human experience. But learn the #math and suddenly everything makes a lot more sense. We’re not talking about anything particularly advanced. Just grasp that intution breaks down when measuring something very large or very small.

@eniko I agree, wear a mask. I’m 70, for any large group of people, say entering a grocery store, mask on. COVID along with Flu and other vaccines in themselves, don’t prevent infection, but overall they do minimize the impact on the individual and society to help keep us up and running. #AntiVaxers seem to operate on right wing conspiracy theories.
Based on the track record of Humanity to date, I’m far from convinced we have anything approaching #TheRightStuff. 
News from #Waikato of #antivaxers and #SovereignCitizens disrupting local ratepayers meeting in #Hamilton NZ on 8 June with councillors & Deputy Mayor. Usual suspects Counterspin Media and Kelvyn Alp there. National antivax candidate for Hamilton East, councillor Ryan Hamilton there too. #NZpol Warning for #Election2023

We here in #japan have always liked to wear #masks a lucky thing.
Many who could afford it stayed off the trains, buses. Schools were online for a year.
The world has learned that masks in closed spaces and even in groups are the way to be safe.
The article has good advice, just do what you do, get vax, use masks if you want to go into large groups of people.
Note to #antivaxers it will not stop you from getting #covid it will mostly keep you from dying.

That's ok - #Covid disproportionately kills stupid people (#AntiVaxers, #Libertarian #Right_Wing #Tories, #Mask_Deniers et al...) and, overall, reducing the number of stupid people has to be a good thing, right?
