Dr. Oz saying to get the measles vaccine is like when Rand Paul asks for FEMA aid to his state.

Good, but I also don’t give this asshole too much credit. Just last week he was spouting some shit about how Americans just need to work more to reduce the national debt. Fuck him.

Friendly reminder that the CDC recommends anyone born between 1963 and 1967 talk to their doctor to see if they need a booster. There was a killed virus vaccine heavily used during that time that has been shown to be far less effective. Generally, not a problem with herd immunity, but without it can be a serious issue.

Edited: typo. Herd immunity, not her immunity.

The headline doesn’t even touch the real pivot here: the FDA’s shift to emergency-use authorizations for boosters under new EUA guidelines. It’s a nuance that flew under the radar, but it’s the real shift that’s happening in the health bureaucracy. The FDA’s tweaking its language for the booster rollout so it doesn’t step into the same legal limbo it faced in ’21 with the full approval process.
And it’s not just a vaccine issue it’s a playbook for any future health “emergencies.” Precedents are being set for when they start pushing unapproved treatments through faster, under the guise of “public need.”
That’s why this feels so… formulaic. Bureaucrats don’t take risks anymore. They just repeat the pattern.

The health officials getting on this late game train? They’re more concerned with liability than public health.
The mechanism here is risk mitigation for government contractors and pharmaceutical companies. By finally “making sense,” they’re just making sure they don’t face lawsuits down the line, especially when more people are questioning the efficacy or safety of boosters.
The incentive is simple: protect the funding streams. Big pharma, along with the government, has *huge* stakes in keeping vaccine uptake high without triggering widespread pushback. So, instead of addressing real concerns or making long-term improvements to vaccine rollout, they just shuffle the narrative. They’re all playing a game of optics.

Ok, so the score for his first year is sane statements: 1, batshit insanity: 1000. He remains unqualified and should not be giving anyone medical advice in any capacity.

It’s ironic. For years conservatives told us to not trust the CDC and various public health agencies/organizations.
And now that they’ve consolidated power under these agencies, we absolutely cannot trust them…

There hasn’t been a measles outbreak in decades because everyone was getting the MMR vaccine. People stopped getting it and, shocker, people started getting measles again. People are fucking stupid.

I wonder how many of those anti vax parents have been vaccinated and have no first hand experience how fucking bad measles can get. I am a bit older and grew up just around the time when the measles vaccine came on the market. Germany might have been a tad behind the curve so I didn’t get the shot before I contracted measles (and after that mumps rubella and chickenpox). Both measles and mumps made me severely ill for weeks ( lost most my hearing on one side likely due to mumps). People need to pull their heads out of their asses and stop with this antivax nonsense

Not vaccinating your children is outright neglect. I dont even know why this anti vax bs has such a hold on people. Failures of education I guess.
