Measles fearmongering and induced panic
https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/08/health/measles-2019-cdc-update-bn/index.html
This is NOT ebola. Why are people so fucking deathly afraid of this? It is truly amazing the ease with which people are spurred into panic.
1 in 4,211,871 people in the US got measles last week.... WOW!!!!!!
1 in 706,507 people in the US got measles since the beginning of the year.... GASP!!!!!
1 in 8213 people in the US DIED from traffic accidents in 2018.
You know what is more dangerous than measles? Peoples hysterical reactions and giving up more freedoms and rights.
I am just waiting for the vaccine police to be stopping people on the streets, "WHERE ARE YOUR PAPERS?!?!?!?"
Bill Hicks said it best about American's so called freedoms, "YOU ARE FREE TO DO AS WE TELL YOU! YOU ARE FREE TO DO AS WE TELL YOU!"
If anyone has ever talked to a parent who lost their child due to VACCINE INJURY, you will hopefully be much less likely to believe the rhetoric that vaccines are perfectly safe for everyone. My child was injured by vaccines and MANY MANY MANY other children have been as well. Your ignorance or disbelief does not change facts.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

The mainstream media, in large part, drives these panics. Whether it was the Satanic panic of the 80's, or the latest plague (that never materializes), the media is blowing wind into the sails.
Why? Money. They want to sell the papers (back in the day) and get the clicks.
Thank you for posting some numbers to put things into perspective - cold hard facts are a nice antidote to this fearmongering.
"Follow the money!"
Money/greed/ego is the primary evil in our world right now. The MSM is owned by a few companies that all have financial stakes/interests in the medical industry. It is in the parent corps best interest, and their shareholders, to push every medicine and social scare that is made.
Isn't it amazing how there is never mention of the actual numbers in any media? %0.000001415 of people in the US have gotten measles since Jan 1....
