Vaccines urged as Hawaii confirms second measles case

[Punatang]

Iron Yak - in a thread about low vaccination rates for measles you post support for a vaccine skeptic and then complain when people see you as promoting vaccine skepticism?


Perhaps it could be nuances similar to the ones that have you posting support for domestic terrorists and then complaining when people see you as promoting domestic terrorism?

And yet, quagmire looks like the better choice these days.

Punatang - Perhaps it could be nuances...
There's a whole other thread for that - I made no complaints, just tried to make the point clear, even as you keep going out of your way to deep-throat the boot. So please, in a similar interest in clarity, do explain the "I'm not against vaccines but believe the discredited views of those who are against the COVID vaccine" nuances.

Ironyak - discredited views 

This shows a great deal of ignorance and immaturity.  Time will tell - and it already is.

PS: are you saying we should now not drag things from thread to thread?  Maybe stick to your own whiny rules?

BTW:  I made no complaints either - just pointed out that we are not anti-fish

How?

I’m neither of those, nor a “disinformate” or “misinformate”*. 
So people who prefer the Puna quagmire to chaos are probably a much larger group than you can imagine.

* “disinformate” and “misinformate” are also not words like “panican”, from a source that is not a dictionary. If used by a child in a school assignment, they would be marked by the teacher with a red circle, and probably result in a lower grade.

Whatever the number, it appears from the statistics provided in this thread, that a disproportionately large percentage of your Puna quagmire loving compatriots' school children are non- vaccinated.

Punatang - Whatever the number, it appears from the statistics provided in this thread, that the majority of your Puna quagmire loving compatriots' school children are non- vaccinated.

Ugh, that's not what the statistics say - Jesus Christo, horses and water...

Some Puna schools have a large number of students not up to date on their vaccinations. For very few of the schools is this the majority, and the count includes any student that may be missing additional boosters or later vaccines. As most elementary schools in Puna have more than 3/4ths of the students up to date on vaccinations, but there is a jump in the numbers of students not up to date at middle school, guess is those students are probably missing some later doses or the later vaccines needed at that age such as for HPV, MCV (meningitis) and Tdap (tetanus, diptheria, whooping cough).

No rational reading of the numbers supports the claim that a majority of school kids in Puna are non-vaccinated.

For once you are correct although as you can clearly see, by the time-stamp (attached), I updated that incorrect assertion prior to you posting this.

Neat - you were backtracking on the claim at the same time I was replying. Do you want to further correct your assertion that a "disproportionate" (compared to what?) number of Puna school children are "non-vaccinated"? Unless you think somehow a portion of the 75%+ of elementary kids up to date with their vaccines somehow become "non-vaccinated" when they reach middle school?

Not being up-to-date does not mean non-vaccinated.
