Facebook post to a physician page asking if anyone has experience treating children with acute respiratory distress syndrome from measles. The first responses are swearing at RFK Jr. #measles #mmr #vaccines #vaccine_disinformation

Upsell the parents on a MAGA-themed child coffin

Doctors should focus on palliative care while they 007 magas. Be the natural selection event America needs.

MCDFPIA! (Make children die from preventable illnesses again) put that on a hat.

In modern America, all things shall be in God’s hands. With proper faith, prayer, and trust in His will, the right outcome will follow. And if the child does not survive, then it just wasn’t meant to be. That would suggest the parents’ faith was lacking, or their sins too great to be overcome.

Just an addendum: I feel this commentary is necessary as a mirror of the times. Yet, it hurts my heart and soul so very much. I wish the child, or any child that suffers from illness all the very best and the most positive outcome.

Gonna get downvoted for this, but "FUCK JFK Jr!" comments ain't helping the kid.
Turbogoat
It's a natural and understandable reaction to the fuckwit who has been promoting the exact conditions that are causing this. Does it HAVE to be directly helping the patient to be able to be said? Fuck no. Does the vilification of RFK Jr make it more likely make it slightly more likely that we'll be rid of him at some point? I hope so. Maybe future kids can be protected if RFK Jr is consigned to the wastebin of history.

Neither are the parents though they are on a forum asking for help instead of taking the child to a hospital which tells me they are looking for something not related to modern medicine but holistic in nature. The parents should be in jail the child should go under protective custody.
etacm
No, this is a forum for doctors. They are caring for this child at a hospital and asking for help because no one sees this or trains in it.
CallMeCourierSix
You mean RFK Jr.? You couldn't even get that right. Also, mentioning downvotes gets you downvotes.
Also also, SHUT THE FUCK UP! SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP! IT IS NEVER INCORRECT TO BELITTLE A FASCIST NAZI FUCKWIT WITH HALF A BRAIN! "OMG GUYS! STOP BEING MEAN TO RFK JR! OMG! IT'S NOT HELPING!" As if we can't shit on RFK Jr. AND help someone else at the same time.
THESE THINGS ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE YOU BOOTLICKING NAZI PEDO-APOLOGIST!

They might help the next one if it leads to pressure to get this guy out of government

#1 Invite un-vaxed GOP turds to spend time with the patient

All the adult GOP are vaccinated. They just don't vaccinate their innocent kids.

I am in a weird position, I recently had a bone marrow transplant. Pretty much completely reset my immune system to that of a toddler (im 42). Starting in September of this year, i get to restart getting all my vaccines again, including ones that werent avaliable when i was a kid like Chicken Pox. But the fun side of this means i'm HIGHLY susceptible to diseases, so i stay isolated much of the time, but that didnt prevent me from getting Shingles about a month ago.
Newdonster
I had this done in January 2020 just as covid was starting to bloom. I isolated, I've had my vaxes and I haven't caught anything beyond a cold and some slipped disks lower down my back.

Doc here, please do not try to spread measles to low-vaccine populations…they have no herd immunity and sooner or later it maims or kills a kid or immunocompromised adult who had no say in the matter.
Newdonster
I don't know ANY non vaccinated adults who aren't anti-vaxers. If anti-vaxers die I won't care. I do care about their children who had no choice.
etacm
the problem is the kids are most likely to die, followed by immunocompromised adults whose vaccinations can’t protect them in their state due to cancer, severe illness, bone marrow disease, etc.
Newdonster
Its the "adults" that were anti vax.
IAMPublicHealth
Almost all anti vaccine adults were vaccinated for measles

People need to go to prison over this.
PrincessWasabi
The parents too, how dumb can u get. Unless there’s a true medical reason the child cannot recieve vaccines
Zyrixion
No, people need to be publicly hanged for this and have all of their assets seized and liquidated to assist in the recompense for the damage they have caused. Prison just isn't a severe enough response to what they've done.

Gallows works too

It's not incompetence. It's deliberate, willful spreading of misinformation and disinformation for a political agenda. That has to be a crime. It's all about intent. RFK Jr.'s intent was never about humane and genuine concern.
Allrighty
Even without the intent, people get charged for gross negligence or incompetence.

Population control in the weirdest way possible O.o

I expect that the Supreme Court will extend the protections they gave Trump against being sued or prosecuted for anything he does under “official duties” will be extended to his entire cabinet.
ShearingBlizzard
Than we arrest the courts as well, they are doing awful shit on purpose and they need to be stopped.
mksu
I mean, probably, but I also want to be clear that I think irresponsibly antivaxx parents need to go to prison over this.
UneventfulLover
"People's choice", you know. Until they choose to use their freedom of assembly and freedom of speech to protest against masked secret police harassing minors. USA is a sad excuse for a country. Always was. Shithole without healthcare or democracy.
