  1. May they rest in peace.

    Please, everyone vaccinate.

  2. I’m in my late 30s and wasn’t vaccinated as a child (because of allergies to what was used in the vaccine serum in the 80s).

    I got the measles when I was about 8 or 9. It was horrible. I was hospitalised, put in isolation,, covered in a horrible rash and my chest was in bits. I survived obviously, but was landed with asthma as a result.

    I’ve since gotten the MMR as an adult (mumps can make you sterile, unvaccinated lads).

    If you’re a parent and you choose not to vaccinate your children against measles, you probably don’t deserve having to watch your child suffer, but your damned child definitely doesn’t deserve to suffer for your stubbornness as a parent.

    If you’re old enough and not vaccinated because your parents opted out, please explore getting yourself vaccinated ASAP. You’re an adult now and your parents negligence isn’t an excuse anymore and it won’t protect you.

  3. Aw here we go. Isn’t it amazing the HSE cherry picks which cases they’re willing to comment on. If they’re happy to comment on this case shouldn’t they be compelled to comment on all cases.

    Or is this the start of the fear mongering again.

  4. If only there was some way this could have been prevented……

  5. Jesus this scares the shit out of me. My daughter is only 6 months old, she doesn’t get the MMR vaccine until she is a year old

  6. Rest in peace

    Measles is rough. Measles essentially resets your body’s immune memory, so every little thing can make you sick because your body doesn’t know how to deal with the viruses and bacteria it gets in contact with.

  7. My 6 month old is getting her 6in1, PCV and Meningitis C vaccines tomorrow, we’ll be asking about accelerated MMR dosing.

    MMR can be given from 6 months if there’s an outbreak of measles. With how quickly measles can spread and the numbers of unvaccinated, we could be looking at an outbreak quite soon.

  8. anti vax crowd post covid are going to send us 50 years back in time. so so dangerous that mmr uptake is falling below the 95% it had been hitting until recently. really sad.

  9. If only there was some sort of prevention.

    WHO announced two weeks ago about the alarming rares in Europe.

    Another gift from assholes and their “FrEedUmBS”, those who have fear mongered people into believing vaccines cause this and that or tracks you or some other shite.
