Oh Great, More Disease From Mr. Measles

As digby notes, the apparent destruction of health, science & research in these United Snakes is the worst thing being done, of many. Apparently "Secretary" Brainworm doesn't think germs have anything to do w/ disease. Also, a link to Krugman on the war on science. And slacktivist on the Satanic Baby Killing that results in "aborted fetus debris".

Why doesn't Kennedy do something about scammy outfits like College Behavioral Health that keep the innocent (ME!!) imprisoned in psychiatric jail four days longer than necessary so they can suck up all the victim's Medicare money? Fuck them too. Another group for my list, stockholding pigs profiting from my misery. G'wan, call the police & tell them what a danger I am, because I resent being held against my will for exercising my First Amendment rights. Which don't actually exist when you exercise them.

Kennedy Orders Search for New Measles Treatments Instead of Urging Vaccination  —  Decades of research have turned up no miracle treatment for measles, but studies show the M.M.R. shot is 97 percent effective in preventing the disease.  —  With the United States facing its largest single measles outbreak …

Pasadena resident tests positive for whooping cough after visiting children’s museum

The croaker has advised this reporter to get a tetanus shot at the pharmacy (allegedly free); I didn't think I was in danger of a cut from a rusty nail or whatever, but the jab inoculates against pertussis as well.

Every year about 500 children between the ages of infant and 5 years old die in traffic violence in the United Snakes. Nobody cares because America hates children.
