missmer8656we are such a stupid country
DAPPER DON DHARSHI31These the first deaths related to measles within the state in 35 years, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, and the first deaths reported this year in the U.S. If only there were a way to prevent these deaths...
Normal Citizen Vermont26I once had the honor of having dinner with an old doctor who told stories of what it was like when he was first starting out and having to deal with polio summers I think about that a lot
singerindy.bsky.social17And won't be the last, sadly. #MAGA has blood on their hands.
Gerald Glenn Saenz15So...basically, if you take medical advise from RFK Jr., you might die. Brilliant.
plutarchsbloodkin9.bsky.social15Some serial killers use guns and knives. Others use bullshit conspiracy theories and brain worms.
Prof Gavin Yamey MD MPH19The executive order on the MMR vaccine that Trump signed, with Bhattacharya and RFK Jr and Stephen Miller grinning at his side, will further drive down confidence in the vaccine—and it could drive up sickness, suffering, and death 😢
If you didn't vote Dem, you helped make this:4Yeah, but did either of them ever have a Dorito? People just need to eat right! -rfkj probably 
James Curle3These aren’t the first and won’t be the last deaths that can be directly attributed to RFK, Jr. and his ilk. The shame should follow them the rest of their lives.
Rhuta Bhayga2They should have taken ivermectin!!!!! /s
German Wondering2MAHA at work 👇 Sorry for the individuals becoming victims of #RFK indoctrination. I can only hope the family members of people affected start class action lawsuits against the federal government and vile propagandists. #MAGA #MAGA #RFK
Barb2Come on y’all get vaccinated. It’s a bunch of fucking shit that vaccines or kill or give you autism. Autism is genetic. I should know, everyone in my family has it.
Duncan Ogle-Skan2Imaginary reporter: Next question Mr President, should the measles deaths be attributed to you (for picking RFK Jr), to RFK Jr (for ruining vaccination programmes), or the Senate (for confirming RFK Jr?
Lightacandle2Wake up time, America. You know what you have to do!
Pennsylvania has now reported 393 confirmed cases of measles as the infectious disease threatens to return.
nvdutch.bsky.social27Too bad there isn’t a vaccine for that.
carlosamammal.bsky.social19'Threatens to return!'-- I mean-- WTF? That's like finding your car gone and saying, I think someone might steal my car.
PigDog7Normally you should say: the problem of anti-vaxxing will solve itself. But unfortunately the victims are often kids, from vaccinated parents who are separated from reality. How extremely painful it is to lose your child because you've seen a YouTube clip?
allanroyx.bsky.social4It's hard to feel sorry for anyone who refused the measle's vaccine and listened to Kennedy, but then being stupid isn't a crime but can be a death sentence.
Colls4No need for this epidemic or death from measles. Be smart. Vaccinate!
risklady.bsky.social4Oh but those terrible measles vaccines!!
Pete Davidson12RKJ jr. should be impeached immediately. If nothing else, Dems should be calling for it 24/7.
Sbooks11Quick math. Usual fatality rate for measles is 1 in 1,000. PA has 2 in about 400 reported cases.
Tropical Bird • #ProtectJho5So glad I got all my vaccinations. If you live in Pennsylvania, so should you.
Shanna Swendson3I'm booking that MMR booster my doctor authorized for me tomorrow. I'd been waiting for a couple of days without plans in case I get a day of post-vaccine yucks, and this seems like a good window of opportunity, with added motivation.
Diana B. Henriques2Measles HAS returned, after having been essentially wiped out by a safe, effective vaccine. It will kill and main vulnerable kids across the country. Our GOP leaders have done this to us.
Two people have died from measles in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. No one should ever die of measles when we have such an effective vaccine. Measles deaths are a result of years of anti-vax disinformation.
T-Fish🇨🇦🍁10If they were adults, I’ve got no tears to shed for their stupidity. If they were children, the parents should be charged with murder. Period!
Virginia Petit7As noted by others, Lancaster has Amish communities that don’t vaccinate for religious reasons. It puts them at higher risk when they come in contact with non-vaccinated outsiders Lack of herd immunity affects everyone
web_rant5An intentional anti-vax campaign that has brought back the most contagious disease previously eliminated by the most successful vaccine. Because harm is the point. bsky.app/profile/luck...
Sit Down Comedian4Our public health footing has been knocked back decades under this administration.
Avenger of Murdered Squirrels3It wasn't that long ago that most anti-vaccine sentiment was found in progressive circles. Then 2020 happened and the public health establishment squandered their credibility with the right and here we are. It's sad. People, myself included, warned this would happen, but the PHE has learned nothing.
papeekaboo.bsky.social3I don't know if you're already aware of it, an unvaccinated 4 year old has just died of diphtheria in Italy en.lasicilia.it/news/news/30...

Maya Media4RFK, Jr murdered them, & so he should never be let out of prison.
Anna Pringle2Sometimes it feels like everything is going backwards…
"It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the HHS secretary sees deaths from outbreaks of diseases we had beaten or contained, like measles and cyclosporiasis, as a form of social hygiene that kills off the weak and susceptible."
Glenn3That’s the project 2025 plan in action.
Slowly running in the fast lane1Ironically, he's safe from measles since he's been vaccinated because his parents were not totally insane. It's one of the weird ironies of Libertarianism that they can only hold their kooky views because they live in a society where those views have not been implemented.
Susannah R1Fascists are always eugenecists. It’s part of the whole ugly,toxic, demonic ideology.They want to cull poor people & their children, the disabled, women over the age of childbearing, and the elderly from our country.Only white able-bodied workers & breeders are permitted to thrive in Whitemanistan.
Doug Galent1I will never forgive MAGA - the same holds true for the anti-vaxx/raw beef eating/crystal rubbing MAHA dipshits.
J2theV1Anyone remember when the Trump administration said our elders should shop and keep the economy going during the pandemic? Or that they should voluntarily give up access to ventilators? Clearly, economic concerns outweigh human safety concerns in the Trump universe. RFK just put a fine point on it.
