Measles Surges in US, Worst Year Since 1991
The measles surge that RFK Jr happily drove has infected at least 50 pregnant women in PA "Doctors in outbreak areas are making changes to how they care for pregnant patients & their babies, offering a glimpse of what may be in store across the nation as cases spread" 19thnews.org/2026/10/penn...
shanti2.bsky.social11I am old so predate the measles vaccine. Back then the only way to make sure that you didn't catch measles or rubeola while pregnant was to already have been ill with them. So my parents wanted me to be exposed even though it was risky because it was much less risky than during pregnancy.
My sister contracted rubella while pregnant and my niece was born without hearing in one ear. Doctors explained that a cochlear implant was not a possibility, because there she was born with no nerve in one ear. She has to be cautious about going to loud events, as she only has one functioning ear.

Dan Jago4The pro-life party who accuse the left of killing babies😏
Joe Friday I'm In Love3That dude needs to die in prison.
DaemonSky74This article hurts to read, but it's important. If we can vaccinate people planning pregnancy, it will at least reduce the risk of infant death. I can't believe we're here again.
Kevin Gannon (now a Moo Deng fan account)64We don't live in a civil society, we live in a hostage situation where--literally speaking--our lives are endangered by the stupidest and craziest people among us
Boston Tom Levenson48If GOPsters cared for the unborn as much as they say, they'd ride Kennedy out of town on a rail. That RFK Jr. remains HHS Secretary tells you all you need to know about what "pro-life" really means to those who beat their breasts to advertise their "love" of the little ones.
Jen in Motion7This is why any time someone says they're "pro-life" correct them. They are anti-abortion and pro-forced birth because they support guys who are bringing measles back and forcing women to birth sick babies and they want to keep vaccines from as many as they can. That's not pro-life.
Ben Wildflower5Antivaxers are class traitors. Antivaxers kill kids. Antivaxers are eugenicists. There are no reasonable antivaxers.
John Robinson4“A newborn had congenital measles, which was passed in utero through an unvaccinated mother who was infected.” Aha! Maybe they’ll start caring when it affects the unborn child.
Christmas Coffee3As a deafblind Morrison, not by rubella but by a rare genetic condition, I am furious that these babies could have avoided sensory loss but now have to live with it. Mine was unavoidable. Knowing your mother could have a routine jab to stop your lifelong loss will be hard to live with
