The Hill ran a breathless story yesterday headlined, \u201cOhio measles outbreak may be fueled by vaccine misinformation, health official says: \u2018We\u2019re all going to pay dearly\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
They are really milking those Ohio measles cases. I wonder if it will be even worse than monkeypox.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve previously reported that Ohio\u2019s measles \u201coutbreak\u201d has not yet even reached 2014 levels. Still, they\u2019re blaming it on some kind of new \u201cvaccine hesitancy:\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe vaccine hesitancy is something that we\u2019re all going to pay dearly for the next several years from the COVID fiasco,\u201d said Charles Patterson, the health commissioner for Clark County Combined Health District.
\nSounds bad! But if you carefully read the article\u2019s details, there have been zero deaths and only 32 hospitalizations ALL YEAR. Fewer than three a month. Of those, 27 either had \u201cunknown\u201d vaccine status or were too young to be eligible for the measles shots anyway. The unstated point seems to be that a Utopian level of zero-measles would definitely be achievable if only everyone would get their damned jabs.<\/p>\n
But the perfectly reasonable question parents are asking themselves is, which is worse: the risk of measles or the risk of the shots? The article didn\u2019t mention shot risks or side effects, at all.<\/p>\n
You know the answer.<\/p>\n
