I’ve been #vaccinated for Covid, but I’ve had Covid twice. Because vaccination doesn’t make you immune; it makes you resistant. Instead of Covid putting me in the hospital, it felt like a mild cold. I’ve also been vaccinated for #measles. I’m not sure what a mild case will feel like, but I’m still not looking forward to it.

CNN · West Texas measles outbreak grows to 58 cases, including some people who said they were vaccinatedBy Neha Mukherjee

"A measles outbreak is growing in a rural area of West Texas where vaccination rates are well below the recommended level."

I know Texas is a lawless, bookless kinda place, but parents who refuse to have their children vaccinated should be castrated !!

Even Adults May Soon Be Vulnerable to ‘Childhood’ Diseases
#Outbreaks among the #unvaccinated are a predictable consequence of falling immunization rates. But even #vaccinated adults may be vulnerable to some illnesses.
There were more than 32,000 cases of #whoopingcough in #2024.
#Antivaccine campaigns often targeted the #MMR #vaccine, which protects against #measles, #mumps and #rubella. Experts tend to worry most about a resurgence of measles.

“The notion that #vaccinemandates have contributed to the ever-worsening #labourshortages in #health care, as political critics of the government have argued, is nonsense. Long-standing system failings, including a lack of human-resources planning, are the real reason for our labour woes.

The vast majority of #healthcareworkers are ethical, civic-minded and science-believing, and as a result, almost all of them are #vaccinated.”

#Flu cases #surge across #NSW as people urged to get #vaccinated.

People across New South Wales are being urged to receive their flu #vaccine as cases have surged.

The state’s chief health officer, Dr Kerry Chant, said in the week ending 8 June there was an increase of more than 25% in people diagnosed with influenza compared to the previous week.

Flu is rapidly increasing across the state. In the past week alone, presentations to our emergency departments increased by almost 22% for people with influenza-like illness.

We are expecting the flu season will be around for several weeks to come, so now is the time to book in for your free flu vaccine to get the vital protection you need.

Chant said people over 65 are at a higher risk of severe illness from the flu, but only 52.4% have received their vaccine. The vaccine is free for those at risk, including over 65s. #auspol

Serious question.
Are the people who are ignoring #covid not catching it?
Unless you're in the small number who continue to be #vaccinated your previous #Covid19vaccinations are unlikely to be effective (especially since it's changed so much e.g. #JN1, #FLiRT & #KP2).
It seems odd to me that #immunity through getting the #disease is lauded as #protection. It's not said about #measles or #chickenpox (& I do know the differences in these #diseases)?
