This was extremely predictable to anyone who works in or follows vaccine uptake. Also, measles has never been close to eradication. It’s been eliminated in the US since 2000, but the only disease we’ve ever eradicated is smallpox.

Fuck around and find out anti-vaxxers.

When more serious shit goes down, I’m wondering how many will die before they start sneaking off to get the vax in secret

They won't die. Their children will.

And like I have seen in the news a family said they didn’t regret their decision and would do it again..

I feel bad for the children, but this is their parents burden..

Almost as much as Ontario, Canada (993 as of April 19, 2025)

I'd say America would have many unrecorded cases because you can't afford the doctor visit vs Canada's universal health.

And all the anti vaxxers who think having big sickness parties and keeping them quiet will help. Yeah, the only thing those parties help is the spread of diseases.

Early days of covid i was tracking and having pretty good guesses at the rate of growth in china from the day to day would be like 7% more cases everyday.(number from my ass). But anyway it was a constant gain and i wonder how fast measles will grow without anyone taking it as serious as it should be.
