Hi #RFKJr

“At least 308 US #measles cases so far this year, marking the most infections reported nationwide in a single year since a record 2019 wave.

More than 90% of the cases have been from a growing outbreak in TX and neighboring NM – totaling at least 284 measles infections in the CDC data.

2 additional "probable" cases linked to the outbreak in OK have so far not been added to the CDC tally”

“It is a shock, but, you know, in some ways, it’s relief,” Dr. Weldon said. “Government jobs demand a lot of you, and if God doesn’t want me in it, I’m fine with that.”

“I’m going to get on an airplane at 11 o’clock and I’m going to go home and I’m going to see patients on Monday,” Dr. Weldon said. “I’ll make much more money staying in my medical practice.”

At the #StandUpforScience rallies, many protesters brought along cheeky signs targeting President Trump, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Elon Musk, the de facto head of DOGE.

Here are some of the best signs our reporters saw in Atlanta, New York, and Seattle:

"...the NIH's acting director Dr. Matthew Memoli also requested information last week about the funding that supports mRNA vaccine research, technology that underpins the COVID-19 shots from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech, according to an email reviewed by NPR. A similar call for data preceded the termination of the other vaccine grants."

Besides, getting measles isn't the worst thing that can happen to a child. Only 1 to 3 in 1,000 die of measles. And those who die must not have been meant to live; they lacked natural strength and were not fed and exercised properly.

For children who survive measles, the worst that can happen is that they go blind — but at least, they'll have their lives, even if they can no longer see.

I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE THINK WE NEED VACCINES

Wearing asafoedita in a bag around the neck keeps measles at bay. It's a sure preventative.

If you think you need extra protection, sip some water from a holy well while walking widdershins around it and reciting the Lord's prayer backwards.
