I would say we more Reddited into the measles thing, but you still have a point.

My main regret in this tweet is not pointing to Facebook, tbh. I suspect that’s the worst pathway.

This has nothing to do with vaccine - new diseases occur all the time, and there wasn't a vaccination for it...and this is new, right?

I think that's exactly his point; people are getting upset that the Chinese can't stop the spread of a brand new virus while at the same time actively spreading a well known and easily preventable virus in their own back yard

Nah, you can be upset at both. This isn't binary. I'm appalled at China's prison system and arbitrary detention of minorities. That doesn't prevent me from being upset at ours too.

Right, but that is China's fault. This tweet is calling out the racism of saying the outbreak is happening because of neglect on the part of Chinese people. But it's a new disease, and they're doing everything they can. Whereas measles is our fault.

I am an American living in Thailand. In the past few days, I have had my family and people I haven't talked to in years calling me. Meanwhile, those people will rant until blue in the face about how bad the flu vaccine is. I've been pointing out that statistically, flu is worse.

I've also had to deal with my students picking on Chinese classmates. It's been exhausting.
