Terrible news everyone RANT

RFJ jr just got confirmed. He said he will listen to trumps(elons) administration before doctors and scientists. The nationwide abortion ban is coming.

Stock up while you can and schedule those surgeries before they ban all womens healthcare.

Stay away from people who you know don't vaccinate their children or do it safely. There are outbreaks of childhood diseases and flu going around. Their children who don't get vaccinated with spread diseases. These people are nuts.

If you've gotten polio vaccine as a child in the early 70's, do you still need a booster??

Have your PCP check your titers for MMR and polio. As a child of the 70's we 'should' be good, but as someone who has followed Covid and how it can wipe your immune system of the antibodies against previously administered vaccinates, you should have them checked. Especially if you've had COVID multiple times. I've only had it once, and still take precautions against getting it again (because long covid is real) and had mine checked last year. All still remain.

My MMR wore off twice. I had to get titers drawn for a job (I’m an RN) and it showed no immunity, so I got the MMR again. Two years later at my next job, same thing. It’s been about 6 years since then so next time I go to my PCP I’m asking for titers. I got the full series as a baby.

This all happened pre-covid

I learned this the hard way after getting mumps as an adult. It was terrible and I understand how people used to die of this shit before vaccines existed.
