The campaign to change the rules was years in the making, orchestrated in part by two men with close ties to US health secretary RFK Jr
When a federal judge in Mississippi ordered a sweeping rollback of the state’s strict school vaccine rules in 2023, the ruling hit some doctors like “a gut punch”.
Mississippi had for years achieved some of the highest vaccination rates in the US for children – a point of pride in a place that consistently ranks at the bottom of other health measures.
The state health director warned of the dire possible consequences, including a comeback of preventable illnesses like measles, diphtheria and pertussis – known as whooping cough.
“None of these diseases are gone,” Dr Daniel Edney told a talk radio host as the state implemented the newly ordered rules. “They’ve not been eradicated. They’re just waiting. They’re lurking.”
Just like his bullshit he pulled in Samoa killing people with the Measles.
The leaders of the anti-vaccine movement must be put on a trial for crimes against humanity.
So uhh they took our advice and took the warning labels off everything and it’s currently solving the problem? Sucks for the kids that didn’t ask for this :(
Baby not drinking enough raw milk obviously.
Is this the state that ranked 49 out of 50 in education? Surely no one is surprised
This is exactly what he did in Somoa. Why is anyone surprised?
All part of the Republican eugenics program.
Guess which country they are actually dragging back to the stone age.
It’s a death cult.
At least the children will go to heaven, right? …right?!
/s juuuuust in case
You joke, but in the strictest traditions of Christian faith, that’s exactly what they think. The specified reason for a bar mitzvah and similar coming of age traditions in other faiths is that’s when your sins become your responsibility in the eyes of God. Before that your sins fall on your parents.
My grandpa, who was a truck driver in the Rush Limbaugh days, said something to that effect after the Sandy Hook massacre. That dead kids going straight to heaven was just the cost of freedom.

Specially Nurgle.
I love that propaganda has made our fellow citizens into the dumbest bunch of humans. /s
We live in the stupidest timeline.
Fucking idiots. I’d laugh and say “have the day you voted for!”…but I cannot. Children, who have no say in any of this insanity, will be directly affected by these moronic policies.
None of this should be able to be torn down by anyone except for the scientists and medical professionals that do the fucking research, and have the fucking data.
How many kids will suffer because of this?
Pro life, amirite?
It really does break my heart, these children didn’t ask for this and we didn’t need more data points to know this would be the case.
“God works in mysterious ways.”
What will it take for the US to start doing something about avoidable children, deaths and massacres? I’ve previously worked as a volunteer in Nairobi, Kenya. Even back then, everyone knew that the deaths we saw were completely avoidable. Families were desperate to obtain vaccination to protect their children.
Maybe this is what we need to do. One argument is that we’ve done so well at preventing these preventable diseases that we’re insulated from the consequences, “surely it can’t be that bad”. Maybe people need to see the suffering and death for themselves, to come to their senses
What in the last 50 years of history leads you to believe that avoidable children deaths are even an issue for the US?
Nothing so far, hence the question
