Just got my #MMR #vaccine booster, as I’m old enough to remember getting the very first shot in elementary school. Be aware that some pharmacies are having trouble getting it in stock through their wholesalers. I had to call around town to find one that had it. (For those of you with #LongCovid, I’m not having the total fatigue afterwards that I did with the shingles, Covid and flu shots, even though the MMR contains live virus.)

Don't trust for what? Keeping her alive? And who should trust you, recklessly letting a deadly contagion run free?

Man Whose Daughter Died From Measles Stands by Failure to Vaccinate Her: "The Vaccination Has Stuff We Don’t Trust"

"It didn’t occur to me that I would instead have to worry about #measles — a disease once eradicated in the United States that now poses a serious threat to children who, like my daughter, are too young to receive the scientifically proven safe and effective #vaccine."

@c_9
The 1st time I heard about studies working in that direction was before the Omicron's spring, in the middle of the pandemic. I'm very glad to these searchers to finally be able to make this vaccine.
Big hugs, guys!

💉 A news release says the spending would help provide new malaria vaccines to 50 million children and human papillomavirus protection to 120 million girls.

The funding would improve storage of children's vaccine doses in remote areas and provide an unspecified number of vaccines for mpox, previously known as monkeypox.

thecanadianpressnews.caOttawa pledges $675M for Gavi vaccine alliance, targets malaria, HPV dosesOTTAWA - The federal government is pledging $675 million for vaccination programs aimed at children in developing countries.

"57% decreased odds of 1 or more PCC symptoms and a 73% decreased odds of 2 or more PCC symptoms" - that's dramatically lower odds of a child suffering:

➡️ unable to remember
➡️ unable to focus
➡️ unable to exercise
➡️ headache
➡️ insomnia
➡️ lightheadedness, fainting
➡️ extreme fatigue
➡️ loss of vivacity, joie de vivre
➡️ personality changes
➡️ hospitalization and death

Protect your children.

Otherwise, if they survive, they will wonder why you didn't protect them, when it costs only the time to get vaccinated, and a few pennies a day N95s and HEPA filters.

Otherwise, you might find yourself mourning the potential you KNEW your child had, and desperately hoping for treatments.

Treatments may never come. Neurons don't come back. Developmental windows close.

Don't be the ghoul that condemns your children, don't strip their future because it's not cool to mask. It might not be cool to wear a bike helmet either. Concussions can't be undone, either. Don't usher your children willingly into suffering and disability.

DON'T FUCKING STACK THE ODDS AGAINST YOUR KIDS.
