Measles Is Back 🚨

So, you know how we all thought we were done with measles? Yeah, about that…

The Tea ☕

Canada has had more than a year of continuous measles transmission, which is wild, and now they’ve lost their measles elimination status. I mean, they really said ‘hold my coffee’ and let the disease spread like a TikTok challenge.

The United States is also at risk, with a deadline of January to limit cases before losing its status. It’s giving ‘main character energy’ how we’re all waiting to see what happens next.

Why This Matters (Or Doesn’t) 👀

This is lowkey a whole thing, and I’m not okay. The people who actually know things are saying that if the US doesn’t get its act together, we could be next to lose our elimination status.

It’s not just about the US and Canada, though - it’s a global issue.

I mean, have you seen the state of the world lately? It’s like, we can’t even get a vaccine rollout right, and now we’re dealing with measles again?

It’s sus how some people are still anti-vaxx, despite all the evidence. Like, touch grass, folks, and get vaccinated.

The Vibe Check 💅

Anyway, let’s all just take a deep breath and hope that our governments can get it together. I’m not holding my breath, though. It’s giving ‘rent free’ how measles is just living in our heads, waiting to make a comeback.

All jokes aside, this is a serious issue, and we should all be concerned. So, go get vaccinated, and let’s try to avoid a measles outbreak, okay? It’s a valid ask, and I’m not delulu for thinking we can make a difference.

L/W, stay safe, and don’t be a main character… unless you’re a doctor or something, then go ahead and slay the vaccine game.
