No, what would be better is if that guy got a bad case of my backhand across his mouth every time he opens it.
What if you take the measles virus, weaken it and infect people with that?
OMG, that’s an awesome idea! Someone should try that!
Bobby didn’t invent that first, so he’s not interested. MAGA are not followers, they are leaders! /s
Leading in kids with measles, AND kids dead from measles.
Eh, measles weasels. what’s the difference, am I right?
Measle Weasel is a pretty catchy nickname. But I like weasels and I don’t think they deserve to be associated with a paramecium like him.
That’s how you get autism.
What if I already have it? Do I get super autism?
That’s a stupid idea. God created this virus as a test of our own faith. You can’t weaken it. (someone around me might say)
But how would you infect people?
“It used to be, when I were a kid, that everybody got measles. And the measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” he said, then taking a swipe at the vaccine. “The vaccine doesn’t do that. The vaccine is effective for some people for life, but for many people it wanes.”
“Some”=97%, “Many”=3%
And you know what the vaccine also doesn’t do? Kill you!I love how they say shit like “it wanes” as though that’s a reason to not get it. Like, just get a fucking booster and you’re good.
For real, I thought he was going to name something of actual consequence even if it wasn’t true like, “it makes your head explode.” But, “it wanes”??? Uh ok, it wanes so some people might get measles anyway. Isn’t that just problem solved then since you think infection is good? Completely nonsensical.
To illustrate how fucking insane this is:
Measles has a death rate of 1-2 per 1000 cases. With US population at 340,000,000, that means 340,000 - 680,000 dead. And that’s out of the 85 million people hospitalized, which would be a society destroying situation.
Not only that but measles can cause immune amnesia! Which is when “the immune system forgets how to fight off infections it successfully dealt with before—and [research] showed that this effect lasts for years!”
Measles has a death rate of 1-2 per 1000 cases
Oh, its much worse. That’s the death rate for people who get treated, in a vaccinated population in a modern hospital. In low-income countries (or in, say, places with 85 million hospitalizations) over 20 out of a thousand people die. And in displaced refugee children, it can rocket up to 3 out of every 10 infected children dying.
Yeah but those statistics are before we discovered horse paste
And that’s just death, measles also creates life long conditions, some that appear years or decades after. For example the way he speaks, his disease is linked to childhood measles ironically.
Also another bad thing about makes is that it can reset your immune system, so now other diseases that you didn’t have to be afraid before now can be deadly.
Yes, but how many are saved from autism and brain worms?
Depends. How much road kill do they eat?

More or less than taxifs and SS on Ice?
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce the United States Secretary of Health!
Pure meritocracy, I tells ya
I prefer Secretary Brainworm. It’s the only way I’ll refer to him now.
Can the US rename the position to Secretary of Death? It sounds much cooler and is more fitting.
He doesn’t deserve “cooler.” How about the Secretary of Infection?
Cool. I can’t wait for my immunocompromised friend to die of a preventable disease that we had eradicated in the US until this year.
Ah, measles. Nature’s Ultimate Antivaxxer.
Oh wow, didn’t know that. Where’s this text from?
Immune by Philipp Dettmer of Kurzgesat. Highly recommended reading…and watching.
To be fair, he didn’t say it’d be better for the humans
It would be better if this guy fucks off.
You first you weird fucker
Guys, if you live in Magastan, talk to your doctors, ask them to give you any shot they can of anything that needs a booster over time (or that you miss) and do it ASAP. If a new pandemic from a new virus comes, you’ll be fucked, but at least you won’t be if what you suffer is an epidemic of a fucking preventable disease.
It is truly the golden age of the idiot
That’s what the media cycles misses. There’s been no better time in history to be a rich uninformed idiot. History will look back on this as the golden age of the rich idiot
Coming up: It would be better if ‘Everybody got Polio’.
Next week Trump will be at the White House promoting the new Telsa Iron Lung.
The brainworm has spoken.
I wonder if he is volunteering to get measles
Okay you first buddy
