There is NOT more measles. Look at the charts. We are no where near 2019 stats and we are only at a .0004% of catching it.mickeyrat said:Jearlpam0925 said:
And I dunno know about that man, certainly sounds like stagflation to me.The Juggler said:Tomorrow's jobs report could very well be an absolute bloodbath, by the way.
So at least rates are coming down as a result of all this bullshit.

First off, the numbers are through Feb. You are comparing to a completed year. Second, yes my likelihood might be exceedingly low because I have modern MMR. But it's spreading through the unvaccinated community at a higher rate. And while those that were stupid enough to not take them to support their politics, I'm more worried about the infants and immuno-compromised that rely on heard immunity.tempo_n_groove said:

The county where this took off (Gaines) had a 5% opt-out rate just a few years ago. Now it's 14%. No surprise. Ft Worth kinder students were 95% MMR vaxed in 2019. Now incoming number is 84%. You don't think that will make a difference?0 -

It shouldn't bee too many years before they realize how dumb this hill is to climb, or not. The hardcore religious here in NY have been getting by for years so I honestly don't know but, if you are vaxxed and have your offspring vaxxed, this is nothing.
The amount of people that get infected will be a drop in the bucket too so maybe I am wrong about them learning their lesson?0 -

Remember that the newborn, elderly and sick rely on herd immunity. So it isn't just the people who chose this path.tempo_n_groove said:

I don't see it as a problem. If you do numbers and probabilities the percentage is still really low.mrussel1 said:

We have had the Orthodox here in the city not vaxxed for all of humanity and it never creeps up out of control and they do walk among us every day. That's my take on it. Real life experience and numbers to back it up.
14 cases last year. Thats not a lot for a city of 4 million people. .000035% So i was actually off on my percentage by a few hundred thousandths.0 -
Orthodox Jews are not anti-vax. I don't know why you think they are.tempo_n_groove said:

And of course you are not worried if you are vaxxed. That's the whole point. But when do you get concerned? When 14% becomes 30%?0 -
Yeah man not to pile on but that's the exact problem every epidemiologist and public health official has been trying to pound into our collective heads. Just because you're vaxed doesn't mean the idea of letting anti-vax people to proliferate is a public health benefit. The more this mindset takes hold the worse off we are. It's why COVID is never necessarily over because it's here to stay because we're an incredibly stupid species.

Hi, it's Tuesday, less than two months into the administration and Trump is costing me a lot of money again today with his stupid statements about tariffs. The market is reacting, as it should, to the uncertainty. So once again, he is giving us all of the market downside of a closed economy and none of the "upside" of higher prices. Swell.0

You're probably right. I spent some time today on Yahoo Finance and my E-trade account and all it fed me was the liberal agenda of falling equity prices. I'm sure it's fake news. I did my own research on Fox and there is nothing about the market tanking, that's how I know it isn't happening.Halifax2TheMax said:
