Still got the required immune response, almost 50 years later. Vaccines work. (0) Funniest 33 minutes ago How is babby form measles? extrafancy (1) Funniest 30 minutes ago Since we're here Doc, and my wife's boy here has the spots, can you write me a 'scrip for some Oxycodone? (5) Funniest 33 minutes ago We are doomed. Gordon Bennett (1) Funniest 35 minutes ago I was expecting much worse. doctorguilty (4) Funniest 35 minutes ago k4mi: We are doomed. Louder, for the people in the back. Tyrone Slothrop (10) Funniest 34 minutes ago (0) Funniest 34 minutes ago k4mi: We are doomed. Honestly the questions being ask are pretty straightforward and not one of them is related to a conspiracy theory. Most of them are about how effective the vaccine is and if people need a booster shot if it's spreading in their community. (2) Funniest 31 minutes ago This really should have been at the top of the list. The only "treatment" is to get vaccinated to stop it before you get it. (0) Funniest 31 minutes ago Tyrone Slothrop: [Fark user image 425x239] Nobody cares what some old dorky nerd has to say. (0) Funniest 31 minutes ago Is there a treatment for measles? There is no treatment for measles, according to Dixon, so all doctors can do is provide supportive care to patients with the illness. "Some people, unfortunately, can succumb to measles. It can lead to death, because again, there is no treatment for measles," Dixon said. Big pharma again. Making money by not inventing a treatment for measles because there's a vaccine that prevents it to the point of eradicating the disease in populations that are fully vaxxed. (0) Funniest less than a minute ago "Which is worse? Measles or the vaccine for Measles? Don't lie to me like the MSM" "We have 9 kids, they all got Measles and one died. Should we have another kid?" "Is there an herbal remedy for Measles? Like essential oils or something?" APO_Buddha (1) Funniest less than a minute ago dennysgod: This really should have been at the top of the list.

(0) Funniest less than a minute ago edmo: How is babby form measles? Idiot parents (0) Funniest less than a minute ago At least nobody is bringing up old episodes of tv shows. "Hey doc, if it's so bad , then how did Dennis the Menace and The Brady Bunch survive!!? Checkmate!" (1) Funniest less than a minute ago "If you have a room of 10 people breathing the same air in the same room, and one of those persons gets measles, it'll spread to nine out of the 10 people," Dixon said. So there's a chance I'll be OK. (2) Funniest kbronsito: Is there a treatment for measles?

Making money by not inventing a treatment for measles because there's a vaccine that prevents it to the point of eradicating the disease in populations that are fully vaxxed. Vaccination programs are a victim of their own success. A generation or two after measles and polio were eradicated, and the people growing up in an (almost entirely) measles- and polio-free world forget WHY their parents and grandparents were concerned enough about the diseases to get their kids vaccinated. I hate to think that it'll take another epidemic to knock sense into people's heads again, but judging from the news today, that seems likely. farkitallletitend (1) Funniest less than a minute ago kbronsito: Is there a treatment for measles?

That doesn't make any sense. There's no treatment because like the flu, Covid, cancer or any other illness all that can be done is providing palliative care in many cases. The vaccine IS the only treatment. Big Pharma is working on a vaccine for cancer now. Might be ready within a decade. The mRNA technology, the Trump admin is trying to kill btw, has been used to successfully treat some forms of cancer. The current administration is trying to turn mRNA into a pejorative term for no other reason than people will suffer without it and it'll reduce the population over time by letting disease win. I guess people could turn to prayer. The last 2000+ years it's been used there is still no proof of concept. The palliative power of prayer does provide comfort to many. Still suffered and died without a vaccine. Schmerd1948 (0) Funniest less than a minute ago Mouser: kbronsito: Is there a treatment for measles?

I hate to think that it'll take another epidemic to knock sense into people's heads again, but judging from the news today, that seems likely. Exactly. Those are the basic questions people would ask because they had no reason to think about measles before. Subby is being a condescending prick.
