He stopped at a Buccees in New Braunfels? You should lead with that rather than the universities.
As a recent expert on NPR said, “If a person with measles walks into a room of unvaccinated people, 90% of those people now have the measles.”
Oh lord, we’re boned
tldr - is RFK Jr going down to check on this? Breathing deeply and shaking hands all 'round?
I was really hoping that area of the texas NM border was isolated enough that it would stay contained :/
Right? And why was this person going around while infected. Doesn’t measles have pretty visible symptoms? I just read the timeline and I was at the riverwalk the day after and the bucc-ee’s they were at 10 hours later. Thankfully I got re-immunized recently (2 years ago) so hopefully that’s a lot better than having been vaccinated as a kid.
Because these kinds of people are developmentally incapable of thinking about their actions beyond how it immediately impacts themselves
If I understand correctly, measles can be very contagious 4 days before rashes appear (through respiratory droplets from coughing). I think a person could mistakenly think they just have a cold or flu (or Covid) before rashes appear. It can also have a ~12 day incubation period without symptoms (but I don’t think it’s very contagious before symptoms appear).
This makes me want to get my titer drawn for sure.
