measles outbreak
Joe Ferguson forever replied to Joe Ferguson forever's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
"clearly and consistently implicated secondary bacterial pneumonia caused by common upper respiratory–tract bacteria in most influenza fatalities." Cause of death is still influenza. I had a patient come in through the ER for a bee sting. He had heart problems. He had a severe allergic reaction to the sting. He was appropriately given epinephrine in the ER,, which along with the anaphylaxis caused him to have a heart attack and die. I wrote "bee sting" as his primary cause of death on his death certificate. The pathologist on the case agreed. At any rate, measles is the topic. Try top keep up. -
a good friend is a local banker. Has made 100's if not 1000's of loans, mostly to farmers. His little bank is in the top 3 for farm loans. but yeah, you mean a guy who would get a loan 5 years ago very well might not now. I'm very much a buy and mostly hold investor. I play with a little mad money. otherwise I follow my advisors advice. She's not saying to buy or sell right now.

This is interesting if not shocking, data. My conclusions: there are many very wealthy congress people. An article I just looked at had Apple as the number one investment by them with 100’s of millions of their money invested. Pfizer was 6th or 7 th that year. And if they based their bets on publicly available information, they just made a smart trade. If not, they should be prosecuted. Notably, the investors were bipartisan. Don’t be elitist🤓

Maybe you should rethink your strategy. Trump’s treasury secretary gave investment advice today: “Buy the dip”. You think he meant for investors to wait til summer 2026 to see a return? I’m thinking there will be a rebound sooner but that will largely be for to trump pulling back from his stupid tariffs.

So give us your opinion on cod liver oil, vitamin A, clarithromycin and MMR. We can look at the data retrospectively like we now can on hydroxycloroquine and ivermectin. Your argument for those was that there was no other treatment. There no treatment for measles but there IS a vaccine. betting doesn’t count. There are plenty of US vaccine skeptics. Just look at this board… -

Nope. Punching dummies who shouldn’t be basing health decisions on “their own research”. -

Link? You must have copied this from somewhere. Sure, a secondary bacterial superinfection (superimposed) infection surely killed some. The cause of death would still be properly reported as influenza. They wouldn’t have died were it not for it. All those folks ultimately died from respiratory failure. But that’s not how the cause of death should be reported on a death certificate. -

Maybe if you looked at the title above the graph you’d know. Pearls before swine. 350 kids? Yes, the incidence wouldn’t predict you’d see a death. You’d need a cohort of a bit more than 300000 at that time -

So Mr expert what about bacterial pneumonia and Spanish”flu”? yes, that cluster occurred among migrants. It spread among the unvaccinated just like the current one maybe you should give up on commenting on microbiology -

Keep drinking that kool aid. Add in some cod liver oil and vitamin A. I’m sure you’ll prosper. Well no. They died from an H1N1 flu. It’s a virus. Antibacterials wouldn’t have helped. Anti virals weren’t available til late 20th century. -

And that has exactly what to do with measles? The point is you were wrong about it not killing people. It does, whether you watch tv in bed or not. It killed many more until the MMR vax came out. You admit this right? -

Did you even look at the graph? In 1969 there were 1.2 deaths per 10 mil. In 2024 there were 3.8 deaths per 100 mil. Gee, what happened shortly after 1969? Btw, measles is not caused by a bacteria. Maybe virology was relatively new in 1919 but not in 1969…
