New Measles Outbreak in Chicago

 

The Chicago Department of Health announced Friday that a young child staying at a Chicago shelter was diagnosed with measles. It triggered new safety protocols—which includes a broader investigation into potential exposure.

 

Health officials released safety orders for current residents and new arrivals at the shelter in Pilsen. They advised caution among Chicagoans who may have been in contact with the infected child.

 

While the young patient has since recovered and is no longer infectious, authorities are scrambling to identify those who may have been exposed during the contagious period.

 

All residents at the shelter on the 2200-block of South Halsted Street are required to stay on-site until they undergo screening.

 

Vaccinated residents are permitted to leave—while unvaccinated residents must remain in the shelter for screening and, if necessary, vaccination.

 

Health officials are urging individuals who have been in public settings on Feb. 27th to stay vigilant. The at risk locations include Galter Medical Pavilion at Swedish Hospital, on 5140 N. California Ave—between 8:30 AM and 12 PM. It also includes the CTA Bus #92 (Foster)— between 9:15 AM and 11:30 AM.

 

Those present at these locations during these times are encouraged to contact the Chicago Department of Health at 312-743-7216, Monday to Friday between 8 AM and 5 PM.

 

Dr. Nicholas Cozzi, from the RUSH University Medical Center said, "Measles is airborne, which means it suspends in the air for multiple hours, even two days after that person was in the vicinity,"

Done feeling sorry for Floridians.
Go finish dying. Pollute your gene pool, and hopefully, cease births.

New Hampshire’s GOP Is Taking a Stand—Against the Polio Vaccine

 

New Hampshire could soon beat Florida—known for its anti-vaccine Surgeon General—when it comes to loosening vaccine requirements. A first-in-the-nation bill that’s already passed New Hampshire’s state House, sponsored only by Republican legislators, would end the requirement for parents enrolling kids in childcare to provide documentation of polio and measles vaccination. New Hampshire would be the only state in the US to have such a law, although many states allow religious exemptions to vaccine requirements. 

 

Currently, Republicans control New Hampshire’s state House, Senate and governor’s office—but that isn’t a guarantee that the bill will be signed into law, with GOP Gov. Chris Sununu seemingly flip-flopping when it comes to disease control. Sununu did sign a bill in 2021 allowing people to use public places and services even if they did not receive the Covid-19 vaccine. But the next year, the governor vetoed a bill that would bar schools from implementing mask mandates. 

 

The bill would strike language requiring that immunization records be submitted to childcare agencies, but would keep those requirements for students enrolling in kindergarten through 12th grade. As of 2022, according to the nonprofit ChildCare Aware of America, there are some 700 licensed childcare centers and homes in New Hampshire (which doesn’t require the Covid-19 vaccine for enrollment in childcare, either, despite its efficiency in reducing both death rates and acute symptoms). 

 

Vaccine hesitancy is rising among parents of young children. A 2023 survey from the Pew Research Center found that around half of parents with kids four or younger thought that not all standard childhood vaccines—a list that also includes hepatitis B, rotavirus, DTaP and chickenpox—may be necessary. Anti-vaccine misinformation plays a role in this phenomenon, which began before the Covid-19 pandemic, but has certainly increased since. In a 2019 UK report, about 50 percent of parents of young kids encountered false information about vaccines on social media.

I got my shingles vaccine a few weeks ago. Not the worst thing but makes your arm hurt, nothing like the typhoid shot though. Dizzy feeling for a day or 2, headache occasionally.

 

Probably a nothing burger for most people though. I don't have a spleen so getting this one seemed like a good idea even though some Drs don't want me to get some vaccines while getting cancer treatments.
