This makes #measles one of the most contagious infectious diseases. Due to this high transmissibility, measles requires approximately 95% two-dose coverage to achieve #herdimmunity & prevent outbreaks . This threshold is calculated using the formula: Herd immunity threshold = 1 - (1/R₀).

not gonna lie, vaccine science is kinda wild! vaccines boost public health like upgrading a CPU, helping herd immunity and keeping diseases at bay. not getting vaccinated is like ignoring tech upgrades,costly in the long run! invest in your health!

#Measles cases are rising globally as #MMR coverage falls below #herdimmunity thresholds. With up to a 90% attack rate among susceptible contacts, even small immunity gaps in a population can enable #outbreaks.

@SecKennedy is murdering children with preventable diseases by spreading anti-vax disinformation. What’s the penalty for manslaughter? Or baby slaughter? “About 85% of reported pediatric deaths nationwide occurred in children who were not fully vaccinated.” #HerdImmunity matters. #FireRFKJr

U.S. vaccination rates are plunging. Look up where your school stands. Take a look to see what the kindergarten measles vaccination rates are in your area.

This drastic decline leaves at least 5.2 million children living in communities vulnerable to preventable outbreaks of diseases like measles and whooping cough.

Look up where your local schools stand below:

However, there are some people with very specific risks (particularly the immunocompromised e.g. some cancer partners) who cannot be safely vaccinated. These people rely on the rest of us being vaccinated to prevent the disease reaching them. This is what #HerdImmunity means.

Measles can kill and leave survivors with "severe diarrhoea, pneumonia, ear infection and hearing loss, blindness and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Measles is also thought to cause immune amnesia, wiping out the sufferer’s immune system." #Vaccinate #HerdImmunity #SaferVaccinated

Vaccines are excellent at preventing severe illness, infection, and the transmission of diseases to other individuals.

Phil Collins Under '24-Hour' Care amid 'Ongoing' Health Struggles: 'It's Been a Difficult, Frustrating Last Few Years' Phil Collins revealed that he has a 24-hour live-in nurse due to his "ongoing" health troubles. The musician, 74, admitted that it's been a "difficult" past few years.

“I got COVID in hospital. My kidneys started to back up. Everything seemed to converge at the same time”

How 'crunchy mom' vaccine skeptics found mainstream support in RFK Jr. As the 'crunchy mom' movement swells, it is emblematic of a mainstream embrace of vaccine skepticism and a broader lack of faith in medical science.

There is a fine line between questioning and plain delusional. Some think they can cosplay as medical experts on our childrens health. #MeaslesOutbreak #Foolish #Irresponsible #ArmchairMedicalExperts #Conspiracist #ChildNeglect #SocialMediaCancer #HerdImmunity
