RFk has been able to sexually harass his way through the woo woo crowd, so he is keen on letting the brain worm drive things. I suspect President Elon thinks the poor (i.e. the 99%) needs to be culled a bit so is happy to sit back and let them die off. Prime Minister Miller knows this will kill some brown people so he is cool with it. Grand Moff Vance believes this is God's will or something and Emperor Trump is wondering why the secret service aren't applauding his chip shot loud enough.So, basically what we all said would happen to the public health infrastructure of the country, while concurrently wasting millions of not billions on quack belief systems, is happening.
Yep. This is our new reality, folks. America in the Year of Our Lord 2025. What a time to be alive (at least for now). And God help us if we have a true national emergency. We did with Covid in Dear Leader's first term and it was a total clusterf***, and that was with an administration that had more competent and sane individuals than this one does. If we get into a war or international crisis or economic implosion or health crisis like covid again we're all royally screwed, plain and simple. This administration is packed to the gills with people who aren't fit to run a high school student council, much less the entire federal government.RFk has been able to sexually harass his way through the woo woo crowd, so he is keen on letting the brain worm drive things.

So why were the vaccination rates in these schools so low to begin with?![]()
Dozens of free measles vaccine clinics close in Texas as federal funding is cut

Steep federal funding cuts have forced public health officials in one of Texas’ most populous counties — Dallas — to cancel dozens of vaccination clinics and lay off 21 workers on the front lines of combatting the state’s growing measles outbreak.
“I just had to tell our commissioners this morning that we’ve had to cancel over 50 different clinics in our community,” said Dr. Philip Huang, director and health authority for the Dallas County Health and Human Services Department. Many of the clinics had been planned for schools in areas with low vaccination rates, he said.
The vaccines, which included measles, mumps and rubella shots, were meant to be given free to families.
“… Since late January, when the outbreak began, West Texas has reported 480 cases of measles and 56 hospitalizations. The outbreak has also spread to bordering states, sickening 54 people in New Mexico and 10 in Oklahoma.Another child dies from parental neglect…
A Second Child Dies of Measles in Texas
It is the second confirmed measles death in the U.S. in a decade. If the outbreak continues at the current pace, the nation may lose its “elimination” status.
The measles crisis in West Texas has claimed the life of another child, the second death in an outbreak that has burned through the region and infected dozens of residents in bordering states.
The 8-year-old girl died early Thursday morning of “measles pulmonary failure” at a hospital in Lubbock, Texas, according to records obtained by The New York Times. It is the second confirmed measles death in a decade in the United States.
The first was an unvaccinated child who died in West Texas in February. Another unvaccinated person died in New Mexico after testing positive for measles, though officials have not yet confirmed that measles was the cause of death.
A Trump administration official said on Saturday night that the girl’s cause of death is “still being looked at.”

You are correct that anti-vaxxers were considered a segment of the looney left pre-COVID, but the "anti-fluoride in the our water" crowd was always right wing conspiracy theorists. I guess the anti-vax thing isn't much of reach from the antifluoridation nuts.How did being anti-vaccination become a pillar of the right-wing philosophy? Before Covid, I have a distinct recollection of anti-vaxxers being a foundation stone of the looney-left. What happened? Growing up I didn't particularly like vaccines, but I knew I needed them. Everytime I got near a rusty nail I would ask one of my parents if I needed a tetanus shot. Dad would respond with something l like, "I think the one you got last week is still good." The first smallpox vaccine I got, the doctor had cut open a spot on my upper arm and trowel on the vaccine with a spoon. When I joined the Army, clad in only my undershorts, I had to walk down a line where a bunch of medics administered vaccines with a pneumatic shot guns, all while warning that if we flinched that pneumatic gun would open us up "like a straight razor." The right-wing has turned the entire country into a bunch of pussies.

when you go to the extreme left or extreme right, some positions bend back towards each other.

Yeah, anti-vaxxing has been a thing on both far right and far left for a while, for different reasons. The far left doesn't trust corporate power; the far right doesn't trust science.You are correct that anti-vaxxers were considered a segment of the looney left pre-COVID, but the "anti-fluoride in the our water" crowd was always right wing conspiracy theorists.

Cases like this remind me that I'm still a proponent of the death penalty in isolated instances. I'd put both parents in front of a firing squad tomorrow.Another child dies from parental neglect…
