The R in RFK stands for rubella!
Quarantined. Sure.
Having been to the South during covid their “quarantine” was pretty much business as usual. They tucked their masks in their pockets. I’m sure it’s similar for those around the infectious ones.
When conservatives felt impervious to infection, they were very cavalier. But those masks came out like lightning the moment someone started coughing.
I seriously doubt anyone showing full blown measles symptoms is welcome in school or at the office. The xenophobes in the GOP probably don’t want them anywhere near hospitals or churches either.
Now, prisons? That’s a great place to put sick people.
The masks came out like lightning as soon as they signed up to work for ICE.
An anti vax mom i used to work for told me once she wouldn’t mind if her kids got measles just so everyone would realize it’s not such a big deal. Maybe she won’t feel so cavalier now that her kids aren’t as protected by herd immunity, or maybe she’ll continue just being dumb as rocks.
Yeah. I had a coworker who doggedly insisted COVID wasn’t any worse than the flu. Spouted all the classic right-wing talking points. Complained that the economy was suffering because of Woke. Yadda-yadda.
That was right up until Houston got hit with a big outbreak, at which point he demanded he be allowed to work from home because of his compromised immune system.
After the release of the vaccine and return to the office, he was right back on the “COVID isn’t a big deal” hobby horse.
Remember when we didn’t have to worry about this?…. It’s like there is a preventable medication or something.
Hopefully one day we find a way to eradicate diseases and conditions like these.

Ew, wtf is that on his gums?
What if quarantine causes autism?
I caught measles as a kid. I wasn’t vaccinated. I don’t know if my mother was antvax then, but she’s definitely a crazy level, anti Vax (and many other conspiracy follower) theorist, now.
I thought I was going to die. Some 40 years later I remember it like it was yesterday, it was a horrific thing to do to a child, especially when meditation to ease it was available. I doubt I’ll ever forgive my mother for that level of evil. She didn’t care, either.
I grew up in Spartanburg, SC and find this unsurprising.
You get what you pick. Carolinas, other than Ashville, are daft af.
GERD IZ PURNISHIN OWWWAR SCYYYANCE BERKS!!
oops!
I feel bad for the people infected that didn’t act like dumb assess about vaccines.
