BROWNSVILLE, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Measles cases have surpassed over 200 across the U.S this year, with a majority coming from West Texas outbreaks. The rising cases is leading to a higher demand for the highly effective vaccine.
The measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine offers 97% protection from the measles virus after receiving both doses.
Rio Grande Valley Pediatrician Dr. Jason Burrell said he expects the vaccine to be in high demand as concern grows for the highly contagious disease. The New Horizon Health Center where he works offers the vaccine, even if you do not have insurance.
“I think we will see a lot more people get vaccinated just because it’s getting a lot of publicity right now if nothing else,” Dr. Burrell said.
As of Friday, nearly two dozen people were hospitalized in Texas with measles.

Thank you dimwits. We are seeing re-occurrences of diseases we had stamped out.
Brownsville Tx. They want everyone in the country to comply with their BS non existent immigrant/illegal immigrant vetting standards which don’t exist
There’s a video floating around X that’s the Brady Bunch season 1, episode 13 where all the Brady kids plus Alice get the measles. The kids were thrilled because at the time, there was no medicine to take for it and they got a few days off from school. Supposedly the episode was removed from free streaming services around 2019.
Highwire also did a few videos on measles and in one, he has a chart that shows how it had all but disappeared before the vaccine was even available and that it hasn’t decreased since the vaccine.
Some non-extreme vaccine skeptics say the vaccines were better when M, M, and R were immunized separately — others say that takes too much time and is better off in a single dose.
Piggybacking off my prior post ^
* A separate shot for Measles, separate for Mumps, and separate for Rubella. Instead of all at once. Good idea?
It’s more about the tech, I think.
There are two approved MMR vaxxes for use in the US, one approved in ‘71, the other in 2022.
I wouldn’t touch the second one with a ten foot pole.
Ping to my above reply.
They deleted it from Pluto TV also.
I remember my mom crying as measles went through the family....... NOT. Buck up buttercups.
1958 - The U.S. experiences its highest-known number of measles cases in a single year — 763,094.
1968 - The modern measles vaccine is released by Merck.
My oldest son was two when he got this vaccine, and ended up contracting full-blown measles when he went to school. When we asked our pediatrician why he'd come down with such a bad case of measles, he told us that the initial batches of the vaccine ended up being ineffective.
Which version of the MMR?
Because what we have now isn’t like what we had when I was a child.
And they pumped it full of mercury “adjuvants”.
oh dear and apparently there is MMR-V (Varicella)
as well. Honestly, wtf.
Sheryl Attkinson just did a story on MMR vaccine last week end. Looks like a lot of vaccine records were falsified to make it look effective. Link below

Getting mugged by reality will do that.

The ‘dimwits’ are those who refuse to vaccinate their children. Measles was stamped out when people were vaccinated.
I had the measles as a kid. Got a week off school. Watched cartoons. It was great.
I remember we had to stay in the dark for something. I suppose it was Measles. We played and peeked out through the curtains. I don’t remember much detail from about 70 years ago.
It was stamped out when people were immune.
Vaccination isn’t the only route to immunity, nor is it always the best.
