42. El Resurgimiento de la Enfermedad y la Erosión de la Salud Pública: Un Llamado Urgente a la Vacunación

1. El Peligro Inminente del Sarampión y Otras Enfermedades Prevenibles.

El sarampión, una enfermedad altamente contagiosa y potencialmente mortal, está experimentando un resurgimiento significativo en los Estados Unidos, alcanzando niveles no vistos en décadas.

• This is the doomsday scenario public health officials warned about decades ago when the early anti vax movement was pushing religious exemptions to vax reqs in schools. Here we are, another massive problem a small extreme faction of the country created, despite mass warnings weve had for years.

• Measles is a preventable disease. We eliminated it in the united states in 200 through widespread vaccination. This is a consequence of appointing unqualified leaders like rfk. Jr and amplifying his dangerous, conspiracy-laden, anti-vaccine misinformation.
• Fewer vaccines isnt a public-health goal. What matters is fewer illnesses, hospitalizations, deaths, disabilities, missed work and school, and financial burdens.
• Despite active transmission, public health efforts to increase vaccination have met stiff resistance. This.is not simply a matter of individual choice but the product of years of systematic misinformation, right-wing anti-vaccine campaigns and the erosion of trust in public health institutions.
• Cdc measles cases reach highest level in 30 years in u.s. The cdc reports measles cases have climbed to their highest level in three decades, signaling a worrying resurgence of the disease. Health officials say the rise underscores gaps in vaccination coverage and raises the risk of.

• Isnt it interesting that the measles outbreaks are in low-education red states? anti-vax morons suffering because theyre too stupid to take care of themselves and their kids.
• This is ethically so wrong with so few getting vaccines. Trust has gone.
• Its really hard to see little kids and babies and wonder if their parents even have enough brains to get them vaccinated and protect their health. I never dreamed something so backwards and stupid could happen in america, to bring diseases back.
• This isnt abstract anymore. Falling vaccination rates have predictable consequences and were watching them play out. Public health only works when prevention is taken seriously as a shared responsibility.
• Seriously wtf good people of south carolina? listen to your kids pediatricians, your family doctors and whoever you trust for health advice. Dont listen to your religious beliefs, the quacks that now populate the hhs and rfk. Measles can kill and is easily prevented with a vaccination!
• Measles can cause pneumonia, severe diarrhea, and brain swelling encephalitis causing permanent damage or deafness, and even death, so why are these repug assholes doing this? imo theyre trying to thin the herd. Abcnews.go.comhealthwires.
• This is the healthcare legacy of donald trump and of rfkjr measles and whooping cough are already resurgent in multiple states because of dropping vaccination rates extremism.
• I feel bad for the kids whose parents would like to get them vaccinated but the kids have allergies or health challenges and cant be vaccinated. These are the kids who suffer when we no longer have herd immunity.
• No, reall? you have the secretary of health saying that measles vaccine causes autism, and frightened parents decide not to vaccinate children who then get measles. No one saw that coming.
• Umm. Did we not expect something like this to happen when you have a full blown nut case running your countries health care system ?? just the tip of the iceberg. Gizmodo.comu-s-measles-.
• Mmr boost is mumps, measles, and ? i cant remember. Do polio vaccines also lose potency? this disregard of public health is stunning. Sometimes i think the current authorities actively want to cull the herd.
• Whooping cough cases soar as vaccination rates drop if you as a parent or not, are to fucking stupid to be vaccinated. Then you or your children should not be treated to bring you back to good health. Keep following your treasonous maga cukservative cult.
• Control of measles in the us and we are not going to regain control unless science-based public health measures are restored. That will not happen soon with this administration, which spreads mass disinformation, lies and confusion about vaccines. So lets think.

• Welcome back polio, measles, whooping cough, and god knows what else.
• Dr. Hendersons experience mirrors mine almost exactly. As a pediatric intensivist for 39 years, i saw 40 deaths from vaccine-preventable illnesses in children under 18. I saw one vaccine reaction and it was non-fatal. The current administration is criminally harming public health.
• Vaccination is one of the most significant public health accomplishments in historyright up there with dr. John snow and the broad street pump during the london cholera epidemic. Removing government recommendation of vaccines will decimate this countrys public health. Apple.newsad5e9arxgr-2.
• It is wild to me that a disease which is easily preventable via vaccination - and for which infants arent able to be vaccinated - after over 2 decades, is making a comeback in america. 110.
• Ignorance vaccination damnation needless suffering, maiming, and all this with no health insurance to pull you through this will result in catastrophic health consequences for the young and innocent. It will spread to other states. Totally preventable.
• Public health is inherently illiberal. You cant reach 90 or whatever critical threshold of vaccination rates in a population just by kindly asking, especially in children.
• Within a year of this administration, we have seen more measles cases in the us than in the previous 30 years. If you are a parent and trust these folks with your childrens health or your own, you are a fool.
• Just a reminder many infectious diseases are highly contagious. Many can maim or kill and many have no cure. Vaccines work. Vaccinate your kids! public health school boards you know better. Require vaccination!
• Ha! true. No one died of measles in 2020! and heart attacks and cancer stopped being the leading causes of death! wow, sounds like a good year for public health. What was the secret?
• If only we had a way to stop the spread of measles? parents, please vaccinate your children-not only for them, but for those who cannot be vaccinated vaccines are proven to be safe and effective.
• Thank you marcie. Its insane. More children are sickened than before as vaccines are pulled from the medical field. Unqualified people make decisions about americans health. We need to end this madness while we are still strong enough to fight back.
• Most antivax ideology is motivated by a false belief that the vaccine is harmful to health, not by lack of care the problem is that people who do care are acting on bad information.
• Show pictures of actual measles infected people. If you care anything about public health then show the public whats in store for them should they refuse to vaccinate.
• Children are dying of whooping cough and measles. He wants polio, diphtheria, tetanus and typhoid back too? i lived in ireland for 14 years. No health insurance. My daughter had whooping cough at six months old, hemophilia influenza meningitis at 13 months, 17 days in hospital and nearly died.
• I caught english measles when i was one, then rubella when i was one, then english measles again when i was 16 and that last fer really stuffed up my health. Measles is a dangerous disease and anti vaxers need to get their heads out of their arses.
• Thats alarming and deeply concerning. A measles outbreak of that size shows how quickly the disease can spread when vaccination gaps exist, putting entire communities at risk. Public health officials need strong support to contain it and prevent further spread.
• Why on earth would you expose your child to the long term effects of measles like significantly compromised immune system, hearing and sight loss, encephalitis, sepsis and other long term health issues? this is truly insane.

• Vaccines save lives and help prevent severe health outcomes. Please get your kids vaccinated. You too parents, especially if your last measles vax was in 70s or 80s.
• Parents to vaccinate their children since their other 3 kids had mild infections so measles isnt that bad. Me instantly, they are in a religious cult and let their daughter suffer and die like a medieval peasant from a preventable disease, but were deporting landscapers, health aides and cooks?!
• And we used to understand because there can be very sick children we vaccinate to try to save everyone and avoid providing a deadly communicable disease to any new host! the lawyer doesnt know more about public health than the 40 plus year public health nurse.
• And the people choosing for everyone are a bunch of loons. Ironically, his stanford profile says his research, .focuses on the economics of health care around the world with a particular emphasis on the health and well-being of vulnerable populations. Vulnerable populations dont need vaccines?
• Now you make your personal decision not to vaccinate your children is a public health hazard requiring public funds and public resources to address.
• Bears repeating, we wouldnt have a measles outbreak. Our cdc would still be looking out for the public health of everybody and not spouting lies. Lol gtfo.
• Health policy incompetent science vaccines measles this is what happens when incompetents and anti-science idiots are put in charge more illnesses, outbreaks and deaths. Thehill.compolicyhealt.
• The us may be on the verge of losing measles eradication status. Now thats.wow.
• This is always the great tension with public health. When it operates well it is completely invisible. I recently had someone tell me that if you try to talk about vaccine safety you get labeled as an antivaxxer. I told him to watch any pre-2025 acip meeting from the archive and see if thats true.
• . Enough said. Just because you, mr. Self-centered rogan, lived through measles doesnt mean everyone does. It can also cause long-term health problems. Everyone getting vaccinated stops all that. It seems you want people to die unnecessarily.
• My sister contracted measles prior to a vaccine being developed. Measles wiped her immune memory, she was then exposed to and infected with tb. She spent a year at a live-in tb treatment facility, and saw no outside visitors. Sadly her health never recovered and she died at 16. So hard on mom.
• Its critical for public health and safety that vaccinescontinue to be accessible and safe to the public. But political interference in federal research studies, programs, and messaging, based on fabrications and conspiracy theories, will only continue to undermine public health.
• Breaking! measles are back baby. Thanx to our lying anti vax maha sec of health youtu.begtsj8dwynxi?.
• What trumprfk are doing to public health here around the world keeps me up at night. Ive got a 19 month old and we breathe a sigh of relief every time shes eligible for another vaccine, fearful they could be taken away at any time. This needs to stop congress all of us need to get louder.
• And just wait until everyone is sol for health insurance, and people cant afford vaccines, and public health programs stop offering them because the cdc isnt recommending them. Kids deserve so much better.
• Parents, ignore the fools in dc, get your kids fully vaccinated. Do not fuck with your kids and every one elses health.
• Washington enlists data as a public health defense against ongoing measles outbreak by kaitlyn levinson the u.s. Has seen nearly 2,00 measles cases this year. The evergreen state is leveraging data as a tool to inform disease prevention efforts like residents vaccination uptake.
• Pediatrician here why is healthcare disinformation so harmful? people end up unnecessarily sicker and unable to engage in their community. Vaccines save lives. Vaccines prevent chronic diseases. Undermining trust in public health is a nefarious attack on your freedom.
• Vaccines are a victim of their own success. Public health has been so effective that nobody remembers getting lockjaw or babies dying of whooping cough.
• Measles is surging in the u.s. And canada due to low vaccination rates, threatening public health and putting communities at risk. Read more azat.tvenmeasles-o.
• It remains a terrible tragedy that an antivaxxer was put in charge of the american publics health, and that there are so many especially physicians who hold powerful roles that work against their professional ethics. Babies are going to die because of this stupidity.
• I believe that public health messaging shld be tailored to community values, but also this heifer is vaccinated i know of plenty of ppl that had measles when they were children, they all survived, froese said. To me, that was a risk i was willing to take.
• Bring vaccines back into schools restore public health keep politicians and corporations away from public health.
• Thank you for the reporting. There is no upside to turning away from vaccination. There is only mass illness and death. Its very much not a personal health decision. That isnt how it works!
• Were still experiencing a significant measles outbreak in tx, too. It started in a religious cult, and is now spreading among mostly unvaccinated public school children. Basic public health is being demolished by antivaxxers.
• This is absolutely insane, i cant believe our public health apparatus has been taken over by antivaxxers. We wont see the effects of this too soon, its going to take some time to build, and people will blame whoever is in charge when that happens, rather than the current disastrous leadership.
• Measles was officially declared eliminated in the u.s. In 200, a status that may soon be revoked due to the resurgence of the virus. Health.
• The bigger picture what the measles crisis reveals this moment is about measles but its also about much more. It reveals the fragility of public health gains the consequences of misinformation the reality is that infectious diseases dont care.
• We are in the middle of the most serious, existential public health crisis in our nations history. The situation is really, really bad, but its also important to avoid contributing to parental confusion about near-term vaccine availability with hyperbole.
• And it will defund public health groups who provide vaccines. So even people who want to vaccinate their children may not be able to afford to do so, or have access to providers who are still able to administer vaccinations. Monstrous. Inviting death and disease, when we know how to prevent it.
• People have no idea how contagious measles is or how explosively outbreaks can spread. Very dangerous.
• So, ok dept of public health doesnt report measles cases because people might infer that they are pushing vaccines, and its a political football for republicans to admit science? for shame! bible-belt state refuses to share crucial info on measles outbreaks.
• Most people asking this question dont know enough to even be in a debate about immunity and public health, which is why they have been partially captured by anti-vax propaganda.
• People dont get what community health is about--its more than just protecting yourself its about protecting others from yourself. You might not mind if your kids get measles. You might even think its gods will if they die. But if they arent vaccinated, theyre putting other kids at risk.
• Parents today are to young to remember meeting people or having relatives who had these health issues related to measles. American shortsightedness on display and putting others at risk.
• Will all those anti-vaxxers are now being forced to go without health insurance for a while might just end up regretting their crusade against vaccines as cases for measles and other illnesses that were otherwise eradicated are now getting more prevalent.
• Measles was declared eliminated in the us in 200. In 2009, the who updated its outbreak response guidance to recommend community vaccination to stop outbreaks. Im now writing two talks for health care groups in 2026 on lessons for us policy from outbreak response in other endemic countries.
• Definitely, and this rubbish coming from the us health agencies is going to cause lower vaccination rates in other countries as well. For cripes sake, antivaxxers are now citing hhs and cdc as a reliable source, you know its bad when that happens.
• Are not supported by the available data nor the consensus of public health and medical experts. Instead, deterring participation in vaccination risks leaving children vulnerable to serious and preventable infections.
• Even when people are in relatively good health, they make idiotic choices when it comes to healthcare see measles outbreaks all over the country.
• The fact that she died of measles, though, is a sign that something has gone wrong with the countrys approach to public health. I dont buy this idea. Politicians conspiracy theorists promote anti expert antivaxxing for political financial gains.
• It is absolutely wild that in 2025 we are talking about measles we have a friggen vaccine to prevent it, yet ppl are too stupid to follow health advice.
• Over 60 years of public health efforts to ensure widespread public immunization against measles wa safe effective vaccine has resulted in generations of americans wno personal experience of the devastating morbidities mortalities caused by one of the worlds most contagious diseases measles.
• Measles can be deadly. Many diseases vaccines eliminated until trump. Not vaccinated, they threaten everyones health- lives again. Worst-small poxcontageous, death rates 40 of infected. Polio in 1952 polio infected 57,00 paralyzed 21,00, 3,00 deaths thehill.compolicyhealt.
• People who dont vaccinate their kids should be charged with child endangerment. Coddling these dipshits has created this public health crisis.
• Such destructive nonsense that ignores decades of science and clinical experience with vaccinations as some of the most effective and cost effective public health measures. That these morons are in charge of such policy is unfathomable and will result in preventable death and disability of children.
• I qualified for a measles vaccination last year because of the year i was born and you best bet i got it. I am not risking my health because others are idiots.
• Rfk jr. Is winning. More parents are not vaccinating their children. That puts everyone at risk if theres a resurgence of measles, which had once nearly been eliminated.
• This is what happens when you listen to antivaxxers. And former alcohol and heroin addicts put in charge of your health. They care only about their agenda, not the facts or your well-being. Dont be fooled. Vaccines.
• Connecticut just reported its 1st case of measles in many years. No surprise its a child in an evangelical elementary school, apparently the childs family is antivax. How very unsurprising.
