The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will not fundamentally change its response to measles outbreaks even if the US loses its measles elimination status this month, CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz told Reuters on Tuesday.
Global health experts convened by the Pan American Health Organization will determine in the coming days whether the US has lost its official measles-free status, a hard-won public health achievement it has held since 2000.
Many disease experts say that is likely to be the case as the country battles the highest number of infections in more than three decades. Thousands of Americans have contracted measles since early 2025, when the Trump administration took office.
Look, if we’re gonna pursue stupid policies, instead of the whole anti-vax thing, let’s just start murdering children. Line them up, shoot them in the head. It’s less cruel.
If you only read the title and/or summary you’ll be thinking that the CDC need to get a grip and start fixing this.
If you actually read the article, then my take is that the CDC are already doing what they can, but are battling misinformation and policies from the incumbent administration that go directly against what is in the best interest for combatting the measles break out.
After not reading the article, this was my take away
I can only conclude they want kids to die. Would they care if it was their own kids or grandkids? Probably not, at least publicly. “God’s will” or something.
Well that seems stupid of them.
Absolute joke of a country. As someone in healthcare, this shit should not even be clogging up our already terrible systems.
My sympathy for patients who knowingly make these choices has been permanently neutered. Most feel the same, although taboo to mention it.
Can’t improve on doing nothing.
CDC meeting:
Really smart stuff
