Anxiety is the only public health crisis they never address. Because our chronic anxiety is not a problem; it’s the goal. People scared of invisible threats get more jabs. It’s that simple.

Well, our first unintentionally hysterical story, published in the Washington Post yesterday afternoon, seems like pretty good news. As the dramatic headline said, another record has been reached— and it is the public health establishment’s worst nightmare: hesitation. But the story was actually the latest example of public health using fear manipulation and kids as props to sell jabs.
The scrap of “news” was one number: U.S. kindergartners who invoked school vaccine exemptions in the 2025-2026, which nudged up by a tiny fraction (0.6%), increasing slightly from 3.6% to 4.2%. (The article did not disclose confidence intervals, standard error, annual variability, or data quality.) Now, we’ll take that tiny increase —which caps a glacier-like trend over the last five years— as unintentional good news.
But let’s be honest: With the non-dramatic exemption increase of only six per thousand, it’s not like pediatricians were staring at empty offices wondering where all the kids went.
But the Post took that single statistical blip, grabbed its Thesaurus of Alarming Words, and went to town, catastrophizing this barely detectable 0.6% movement as a “sharp increase” that “extends a years-long erosion” as “the country battles its worst measles resurgence in 35 years.”
Whew! Sharp .. Erosion … Worst resurgences … Battling a war. It’s an invisible crisis! WaPo stuffed all that hyperbolic rhetoric into a single sentence, and it was just warming up.
? It’s tempting to give this story the full treatment, but we have more to cover today, and I don’t want to get bogged down. Here’s the concise version. By its third paragraph, the story had already transitioned from the terrifying 0.6% Vaccine Exemption Apocalypse of 2026 to President Trump, Secretary Kennedy, the recent changes to the childhood vaccine schedule, and the awful threat that we could all die any minute.
Trump, Kennedy, and the schedule changes came after any of these measles cases or exemptions, of course. But never mind. Obviously, accuracy is an unnecessary distraction when we’re talking about public health.
The article’s hyperbolic quotes were priceless, especially those excreted by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Dr. James Campbell, chair of the AAP’s Committee on Infectious Diseases, warned, “Measles and other infectious diseases don’t stop at the classroom door. That’s why school entry requirements matter: They protect and keep entire communities safe, and experience shows that when parents receive clear, trustworthy information from health professionals, they’re far more likely to choose vaccination.”
The jokes write themselves.
But the figure the WaPo really leaned into was: “2,566 confirmed measles cases so far this year, 101 more than the previous week’s tally and already exceeding the 2,289 cases recorded during all of 2025.”
Cases. Not deaths. Not hospitalizations. Not outcomes. Just “cases.” Remember all the games the CDC played with covid case counts?

Small increases in case counts can occur just because the CDC is trying a little harder to find them. That’s all it takes. Like reminding doctors every ten minutes that they are “required” to report all measles cases, no matter how mild, to the CDC. Or sending pediatricians free test swabs. Or ‘tweaking’ the definition of what a case is. I wonder how many of these 2026 measles cases are, for example, asymptomatic.
The white-coated fraudsters happily find a complete explanation in increased awareness for astonishing autism rates that skyrocketed from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 12. But ‘increased awareness’ isn’t any part of the vocabulary when you’re discussing tiny increases in measles cases. That, my friends, can only be evidence of a vast and terrifying public health emergency.
? But … is it? Really? For context, your chances of being among the 2,566 Americans who suffered from “a case” of measles this year are a barely countable 0.00075%. Only zero Americans have died from measles this year. “Zero” might sound like a lot to some doctors. But zero suggests we have a pretty good chance of making it through this measles pandemic. (I like these odds. Regular readers know what I’d bet on it.)
You have a better chance of catching projectile diarrhea from Taco Bell lettuce than catching a ‘measles case.’ You have a greater risk of spontaneously combusting than dying from measles. You are more likely to choke on a hot dog than die from measles.
Show me one public health regular warning us about inhaling oversized hot dogs. I will wait. Not forever, but do your best. (I did not include a public health advisory picture. This is a family blog.)
Measles is just the latest psyop —political agitprop that is literally the least of your concerns— yet the Twitter feeds are choked with lab-coated pretenders issuing dire warnings about measles. Warnings that they will switch off like an LED lamp as soon as it’s time to transition to the next manufactured crisis.
Former Biden Covid Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha warned, “We are on track to have the worst measles outbreak of this century, of the last 25 years.” Which is it? Pediatrician Dr. Emilie Morris dramatically told CBS News on July 24th, “The child is hunched over, mouth open, drooling, crying, maybe not even producing tears, because they’re so dehydrated.” Won’t somebody please think of the children!
Want to know why U.S. anxiety rates and depression drug sales are at all-time highs? The reason we have sky-high anxiety is that sky-high anxiety rates are what’s best for corporate media and its morbidly obese patrons, big pharma and the public health establishment.
Anxiety is the only public health crisis they never address. Because our chronic anxiety is not a problem; it’s the goal. People scared of invisible threats get more jabs. It’s that simple.
