U.S. Measles Outbreaks Grow Amid Federal Funding Cuts, RFK Jr. Mixed Messaging on Vaccines
RFK Jr. claims 'leaky' measles vaccine wanes over time. Scientists say he's wrong April 16, 2025 Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the measles vaccine is "leaky" because its effectiveness wanes over time, something medical experts dispute. ... Kennedy suggested the vaccine effectiveness wanes at a rate of nearly 5% a year – an assertion not backed by scientists. ... "People get measles because they don't vaccinate," Kennedy said Tuesday during a press conference. "They get measles because the vaccine wanes. The vaccines wane about 4.8% per year ... So, you know, it's a leaky vaccine, and that problem is always going to be around." ... Scientists disputed Kennedy's claim that the measles vaccine's effectiveness wanes over time. "He's dead wrong," said Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "The measles vaccine protects you for the rest of your life. The notion that it's a leaky vaccine is dead wrong." (more) https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2025/04/15/rfk-jr-measles-vaccine-leaky-claims/83099634007/ -

Crime Shocking Scene at Patong Beach as Tourist Couple Caught in Public Indecency
From the two photos that are posted it is very difficult to tell just what is going on and if there is some lewd behaviour. As to the female, she doesn't look like an African with her long straight hair and light complexion. The man's leg appears to be darker than her. Maybe he is African?? -

U.S. Measles Outbreaks Grow Amid Federal Funding Cuts, RFK Jr. Mixed Messaging on Vaccines
Health Security Decoded Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security April 17, 2025 As of last week, the United States had recorded more than 700 measles cases, with 93% of cases being related to outbreaks of at least three or more related cases. As of today, the Center for Outbreak Response Innovation (CORI) is reporting 772 cases in 24 states so far this year, with two confirmed deaths and one under investigation. The largest outbreak, centered in western Texas, continues to grow, with 569 cases. Notably, however, many experts, including those with CDC, believe the actual case count is much higher, with many cases either not reported or underreported. A CDC senior scientist this week said the pullback of federal pandemic funding from states has hurt responses, especially in Texas, where CDC is “scraping to find the resources and personnel needed to provide support.” Confusing vaccine messaging HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s inconsistent and unclear statements about measles vaccination also are hampering outbreak control efforts, as well as drawing criticism from infectious disease and vaccine experts. While Secretary Kennedy recently endorsed the vaccine as the best way to prevent the disease, which it is, he continues to amplify unfounded claims about its safety and effectiveness, repeating incorrectly that the shot’s protection wanes rapidly (for most people, two doses provide lifelong protection) and causes illnesses similar to measles itself. He also has downplayed the seriousness of measles in the U.S. Secretary Kennedy’s mixed messaging emboldens vaccine skeptics and undermines trust in vaccination as measles cases rise nationwide. https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Health-Security-Decoded---April-17--2025.html?soid=1107826135286&aid=92m1L77mL2Q
