US anti-vax stance to blame for continent-wide surge in measles, say experts
The disease was eliminated across the Americas in 2024, but urgent vaccination drives are now under way as cases rise from Mexico to Bolivia after outbreaks farther north
What's the wurst that could happen?Well, now I know to stay out of German sewers.
I got the disease fairly recently so I'm skipping it. Covid has been shit and hasn't evolved much since last year so it's probably a similarly good match.Did everyone get the covid shot this year?
Is it much help vs previous years?
Paging Dr @Preston
Trying to determine if it's worth paying the money for it.
The flu shot is a bad match for the flu that is circulating this year. It looks like this year the flu gained some mutations that may make the vaccine nearly useless for preventing illness. Doesn't mean you shouldn't get it or that it wouldn't help with severity potentially, but it probably won't be that effective compared to last year, for example.what does that mean? If the flu's gonna bad, shouldn't people want to get the flu shot? or are you saying get the flu shot, but not the covid booster?
why not both gif
Whereas covid hasn't really changed much for a long while (which is why it circulated at all-time low levels in 2025). So the vaccine is probably gonna be decent enough.
