RFK Jr.: It Would Be Better if ‘Everybody Got Measles’
“The measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Sean Hannity on Fox News.

I for one am totally in support of all of his backers infecting themselves.
Measles is (I believe) the most contagious virus we have ever encountered. It can remain for 2 hours after an infected person leaves an area.
Yes, but every sensible person would likely be vaccinated*. Antivaxxers often get away with being unvaccinated just because of sheer dumb luck (they don't get infected). A mass (self-)infection event could quickly rectify that situation.
I mean... we effectively did just that with covid, and the results were not great...
Immunodeficient people still need to buy groceries...
I don't know about other places. Here we were swamped with volunteers offering to help the sick and elderly. It probably wouldn't last for long, but honestly, at this point I'd be just happy to wait for all the antivaxxers in the world to infect themselves and then either get well or die. How long would that take, a couple of months? After that we'd be down to normal infection levels again.
