You see, they've hamstrung themselves.
They've painted themselves into a corner.
They can't mount a strong, appropriate, and adequate response to Measles, because they've ruled it out for Covid.

If they acknowledge that Measles is airborne, they have to acknowledge that Covid is airborne.

If they acknowledge that respirators work for Measles, they have to acknowledge it for Covid.

If they acknowledge isolation works for Measles, they have to do it for Covid.

The main defence against Measles in the community is vaccination.
But they've been telling everyone that kids need to catch up with their infections, and enough people have believed them to cause a massive problem.

They never said which infections you should and shouldn't get.

They've actively told parents that kids will get immunity by catching covid, and they're now afraid to say "no! it's not the same for measles!".

If they say "no, it's better to stay off school than to catch measles", then they acknowledge that health is more important than attendance, and you know they've been telling you to send your kids sick to school for nearly two years now.

If they start referencing the long term effects of Measles, then questions will be asked about the long term effects of Covid.

I told you this years ago.
It was part of the inevitable progression when you let political appointees put extremely thick people in charge of public health.

And Measles may get very messy, but it's not going to be the last highly infectious and damaging pathogen to spread.

We're entering an age of unreason.
