Imagine having to actually say this shit:
The measles vaccine prevents children from getting the measles.
It's 2026 and we've all resorted to speaking to each other as if we're all suffering from severe cognitive impairment.

I mean... From a practical perspective we _are_ functionally cognitively impaired, right? Certainly collectively.
But if you let some rich folks spend five fucking decades trying to convince the people who already had a shaky relationship with science that, "Science ain't so great. What if I just punched you in the face," is a legitimate rejoinder during a debate...
Well, we wind up _here_.

@Remittancegirl would love to see an update reflecting the altered trends that have become obvious to anyone with the ability to look at this using critical thinking skills

@Remittancegirl A bit of a bump around 1990. This link from 2019 suggests the following.
"Public health historians partially attribute the outbreak to budget cuts during President Ronald Reagan's administration that affected federal funds directed toward immunization and public health initiatives.
"There was just less White House support for childhood immunization," says Elena Conis, an associate professor at the University of California, Berkeley, where she specializes in medical history. "

@Remittancegirl uh, er, isn't an extended consequence of COVID severe cognitive impairment? and society has let that run rampant.

@Remittancegirl
Given the link between fine particle pollution and Alzheimer's, and the "let it rip" approach to COVID, maybe we largely are suffering from severe cognitive impairment -

COVID does cause brain damage so that's also a thing for a lot, yes. -

The proof is in the data.
You’d have to be either rather ignorant or simply plain evil not to see that…
