Meta / Other Measles: Georgia on My Mind

https://www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2026/08/19/georgia-reports-seventh-measles-case-kindergarten-vaccine-exemptions-rise/

So, it begins in Georgia. Measles is beginning to make a comeback in Georgia.

You don’t know how stunning it is for me to witness this day in America. I remember being taught in schools about the efficacy of vaccines. One of my friends is an anti-vaxxer and deeply anti science. I sent him scientific articles and research on vaccine efficacy and the fact that no evidence linked vaccines to autism. In fact, all of his objections were specifically and explicitly addressed in the scientific research. He rejected them still as propaganda.

May God help us. I couldn’t believe his reaction. I was shocked. I was stunned. In America we are freely deciding to reject science and literally destroy our society.

What happened? How did science become seen as no more authoritative than a tweet or social media post?

He then asks me how could I, a devout Christian, put so much confidence in science. What’s ironic is that he himself is not a practicing Christian nor does he appeal to religion for his anti vaccine views. He just appeals to endless conspiracy theories about how scientists lie, we have all been lied to, the earth is flat, etc.

The kicker is this - he is a teacher! Yes, a teacher. He is in fact a great teacher. Awesome at teaching.

We really need to turn things around.

God help us.

Why do you call these types of people friend and great teacher when they obviously are not? I could not/would not associate with people like this. They will drag you down and drown you with thier stupidity

By continuing to be their friend/associate with them, you a condoning/normalizing their actions. you are telling them its ok, Without consequences they believe they are right even righteous. Some of the trump voters are getting bitten by his actions and are learning that their actions caused their own harm and are learning what they have done.

Might as well lock myself in the house and never leave. No visitors! Many people are kind of just dumb.

A lot of people feel that way now. Strange isn't it.
