Another anti-vaccine success: Roughly an order of magnitude increase in measles. I'm looking forward to a lawn shark starting a class action case against vaccine demoters. Sue them for fraudulent claims and take their money to pay for measles cases. Bob Wilson
some nice person flew up from texas the other day, contaminated a few places with measles, and flew back
More measles charts: This year's cases are the most since 1992, and we are close to exceeding that year's figure.
I like the "Get the Data" map. Can you get one for flu and COVID? The CDC maps for whole states suggests flu and COVID are following similar patterns. Thanks, Bob Wilson
Change "similar" to "identical". Looking closer, the map on CDC's Covid page is really the same Influenza map, re-labeled to "Influenza-Like Illness." Influenza page (note that Week 50 much worse than Week 49): Weekly US Map: Influenza Summary Update | FluView | CDC Covid page: COVID-Net State Activity Indicator Map
However, moving from State to CBSA views, produce this (probably much state data missing) - - - Influenza page: Covid page:
unfortunately, we're in the red. so far, post Christmas, no reported illnesses among family and friends, but it's early. can't wait to get to florida, where no one ever gets sick
HI's 95% green natch, except there there's a million plus smashed into 200 mi² of habitable land of 600 total on O'ahu... plus receiving air traffic from all over the Pacific Rim, including direct from three of the most densely-populated cities on earth (Jakarta, Tokyo, Mexico City)? Yeah, I'll take the yellow-green Both the most Western places I've lived >1yr, have pretty good flu vaxxing, which I'll laud given the nonsense being puff-puff-passed around since the pando. Miracle I didn't get flu more often, alternately frying and freezing third point respectively... Covid data... not surprised there's such a dearth of data, esp from three Deep South states. What the hell's up w/ Jersey and CT/RI though?
An excellent question and answer video about vaccinations: 25 minutes long so playback as fast as reasonable Bob Wilson
Very good, I didn’t know warpspeed was a radical socialist solution. Worked pretty well to take profit risk off the table. We are on the internet for the same reason.
i have been getting jabbed for 70 years, and the only side effect is that i'm a little mental. might be the aluminum, or maybe tin foil?
Define "never worked". Didn't eliminate getting the flu/Covid? Or didn't work lessening the severity? Why during Covid did areas of the country with lower vaccination rates have statistically more deaths and hospital admissions than the areas which were more commonly vaccinated? I and my wife were vaccinated. We both got Covid in our late 70s. Not a big deal since I'm still typing. Without the shot, will never know the outcome.
