    ANTIVAXER: Measles is a harmless childhood disease. It was such a minor thing 50 years ago that old sitcoms like “The Brady Bunch” played it for laughs. ME: Read this update from the government of Samoa. https://www.facebook.com/900088560022167/posts/national-emergency-operation-centre-press-release-7-november-23-2019-update-on-t/2768823149815356/ …

        And the antivaxers will say this reflects on the Samoan hospitals. They expect that here the sky will be the limit when it comes to responding to complications. Case in point, the kid who contracted tetanus and $800K hospital bill—& his parents still won’t vaccinate.

        Not a harmless disease for all those who were left with serious hearing loss Affected millions including my better half who is pretty much deaf in one ear

        When I was growing up in the Brady bunch era, practically every classroom had a kid with some hearing loss from measles.

        Yea your science community down played it as a benign childhood disease. Major media networks downplayed measles and chicken pox when I was growing up. Also the same science community denied vaccination for measles to certain communities when the vaccination was available.

        It is more to do with nutrition. There is still some malnutrition in Samoa and vitamin A deficiency is a risk factor for severe measles.

        Maybe make them safer? Babies die and people tend to not want any part of it. Rather than rag on ‘anti-vaxxers’ as if they’re the enemy, try advocating for safer vaccines. That’s not a hard line to take. Yet for some reason you don’t. Why you’re not credible. 🤷‍♀️

        Everyone advocates for safe vaccines. Pretending conditions that aren't caused by vaccines are is not "advocating for safer vaccines."
