Clearly this is all going according to plan.

On Tuesday, USA Today published a new mini-documentary in its Extremely Normal series -- which examines how groups and ideas previously considered "extreme" have found their way into the mainstream -- about "crunchy MAHA moms" who love natural foods and hate vaccines. To absolutely no one's surprise, these "crunchy MAHA moms" spent a lot of time talking about how they just wanted more research to "prove" vaccines are safe, only to admit at the end that even if they had all the proof in the world, they still wouldn't get their kids vaccinated, because they "haven't dealt with any of the diseases" their kids were not vaccinated against.

Probably because, you know, other people did get their kids vaccinated.

Well, a whole lot of people are now dealing with a pretty serious outbreak of one of those diseases in South Carolina right now. Six-hundred forty-six people, to be exact(ish), have been diagnosed with measles, with 88 new cases confirmed on Tuesday. And it's not just children. Eighty-four students at Clemson and Anderson Universities are currently being quarantined with the vaccine-preventable virus -- a pretty serious situation given that, the older you are, the more deadly the disease can be.

Tuesday also happened to be the one-year anniversary of the first reported case of measles last January. If it turns out these cases are linked, that would mean the US has had a straight year of continuous measles infections. What does that mean? Well, it means that, for the first time since the year 2000, measles will no longer be considered eradicated in the United States.

1. It's hard to leave a cult

If you mold the granola you will disappoint everybody!

Seriously though, I am not a mom but I was very crunchy years ago (still a little). I remember being in the local co-op trying to pick out cheese and heard two people behind me talking about their kids suddenly becoming autistic after the MMRI vaccine, I thought they were nuts. This would probably be about the time that fraud of a research study was published but before RFKook became the big dawg in this grift.

2. How are they doing with COVID and this year's more virulent flu with all of these anti vaxxers in their state?

3. K&R - Likely HE was innoculated as a child

5. It's said that his whole current family stays up-to-date on vaccines. This is just for the poor and unedjikated.

4. I lasted about 45 seconds listening to those crunchy Moms and had an urge to have a mid-day double gin and tonic.

Also fuck RFKjr.

7. Actual measles confers 'better' immunity than some unproven vaccination

AFAIK The potential for shingles later in life is enhanced by having experienced actual measles, much more than by having been vaccinated and avoided measles all together.

8. I'd bet my last dollar that ALL of those

fkrs are vaccinated up the yazoo. They save that anti vaxxer sht for their moronic CULT.
