I’m not sure most parents are on board with using their children as guinea pigs - they especially don’t want their kids in the control group when known solutions (like VACCINES) exist.
Pretti was the best of us; yes! I worked with ICU and Trauma staff for over 40 years. I loved those colleagues. His death really hit hard. I still have tears. Mrschjim and I will be out demonstrating with some of our neighbors here at the home until this all ends or we die, whichever comes first.
“What we’re going to have is a real-world experience of when unvaccinated people get measles. What is the new incidence of hospitalization? What’s the incidence of death?”
I’m so old, I can remember when experimenting on humans had a high bar and required many levels of approval, not to mention conforming to a host of protocols… Looking forward to harming and even killing statistically significant numbers of the experimental animals (er, “subjects”) would have been grounds for denial of permission.
Can’t find this article again, but Bovino (Porcino because he is a pig not a cow) shooting back on Xitter to critics, this guys is a PR disaster. He is going to be the first one to be thrown under the bus.
“What we’re going to have is a real-world experience of when unvaccinated people get measles. What is the new incidence of hospitalization? What’s the incidence of death?”—pediatric cardiologist Kirk Milhoan, hand-picked by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to be the new chair of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices
Are they trying to top this?
During the decade before measles vaccine became available, measles caused an estimated 400 –500 deaths, 48,000 were hospitalizations and 1,000 cases of encephalitis (swelling of the brain) per year in the United States.
That information still appears on the CDC website. I’m going to assume that’s their baseline.
Unfortunately, it ends with the declaration that measles had effectively been eliminated in the US. No current information, of course.
