    The latest death toll in the Measles epidemic in Samoa is now 70. 61 are children 4 or under. And still nothing but deflection & conspiracy theories from @RobertKennedyJr & his #antivax front group, @ChildrensHD. #SamoaMeasles #Samoa #Measles https://twitter.com/samoagovt/status/1203793768182235136 …

        It’s Alarming how the antivax movement is gaining momentum in developing countries where already the rate of immunization was low now these countries feel like they are following the western way of not getting immunized and keeping safe from Autism.#vaccines

        Replying to @gorskon

        4,693 infected, 112 in the last 24 hours. That's a 1.5% mortality rate which is scary for such a highly infectious agent. Modern medicine cannot always save you once you are infected. It can, however, prevent you from getting sick in the first place.

        My mother (nearly 80 y/o) told me that when she was in elementary school, it wasn’t uncommon for kids to get sick and not return to school either because of secondary illness (deafness, etc), or because they died.

        My graduating class only had about 85 kids. I think about it like that. I picture only a dozen or so of us there for graduation. It's puts things into perspective.

        Hey David, can you please explain to me why there are no true safety studies done on vaccines? Why do they not use placebo safety control groups? Why are they afraid of seeing the results of vaxed vs unvaxed?

        -There are lots (see bwlow). -They do use placebo. -Nobody is afraid of doing vaxxed and unvaxxed studies, but you'd get no children to do them since nobody wants their children to end up in the 'bad' arm of the trial. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/research/publications/index.html …

        How many die in the first world where there is adequate care? None. There have been thousands of cases in the US in the last two decades and only one died of ‘measles RELATED complications’ not even just the measles. Because measles doesn’t kill. Bad ‘care’ kills.
