Kitty Drummund: Wow we are among the prevalence that we talked about above. What happens now? When there is a prevalence of measles, how can you fit something like it? What further measures do the United States really need to control this outbreak?
Emily Moline: Yes well, that’s a great question. We’ve already seen the outbreak of measles. You might remember that in 2019 there was a large outbreak of measles that was concentrated in Orthodox Jewish communities in New York. It really did these strategic boots in an attempt to enter the community, combat inaccurate information, provide sensitive cultural information on the benefits of MMR vaccine to obtain the rate. Because again, there is no effective treatment for measles. This causes isolation, vaccination because to clarify, we see that these measles occur due to a decrease in vaccination rates across the country. Now people don’t trust the vaccine. For measles, the amount of vaccination in a society must be very high, 95 %, to prevent the prevalence of the outbreak, because it is very contagious. In the city of Giens, Texas, which currently has the most, the amount of measles is 82 %.
Kitty Drummund: Wow
Emily Moline: That is why we see such heavy concentrations there. But in New Mexico, in the state of Lee, where most of New Mexico is taking place, measles vaccination is much higher, about 94 percent. But again, this is a very contagious virus. We really need these rates up to 95 %. This is what epidemiologists say is really needed to support a community.
Kitty Drummund: Just to emphasize this last time. MMR vaccine, how effective is this vaccine in preventing measles in a particular person?
Emily Moline: One dose of a vaccine 93 % is effective against measles and two doses are 97 % effective. This first dose is usually recommended for children for about 12 to 15 months. Then that second dose is usually given when the child is between four and six years old.
Kitty Drummund: We also received, again, only about the most vulnerable people in a community, infants, young children, about the risk of measles. Sure, it seems that vaccines are a better option than COD liver oil, if possible. We’re going to have a short rest. Thank you, Emily. When we come back, what you need to read today. Welcome to Illegal valleyY I am Katie Dradund, Wired World Editorial Manager. I have joined Emily Moline Wired. Now, Emily, before I dropped you, I really want you and my listeners to put on a story that everyone should read today on wired.com, except for the great stories we mentioned in this section. This is the feature we released today by wired Lauren Smiley. Loren is an incredible journalist, an incredible narrative writer. He did a deep diving to Boeing. If you haven’t been afraid of air trips before, given everything with FAA now and everything that has been going on with Boeing over the past few years, this story doesn’t make you feel better. I say that as someone who takes a lot of xanax before flying. This story makes you feel more nervous about air travel immunity. But this is a winding narrative that is said to have been alert about safety in Boeing’s production facilities through the eyes of a man who worked in Boeing for many years, and repeatedly sounded alarm inside the company. Until he finally left the company, and only started crashing a terrible aircraft, serious accidents with Boeing aircraft that he was responsible for production and creation. All this is about her journey as a female whistle, and how she’s since leaving Boeing and becoming whistle, she has actually become a focal point for the families of people who have lost their lives on the Boeing plane. He has a focal point for other whistle whistle that is with harmful information about what is going on inside the company. This is really the story of a man, his name is Ed Pierson, and his mission continues to this day to show what he describes as serious mistakes and serious behaviors from Boeing, showing that it affects all of our security when entering the plane. This is an incredible story. Again, this makes you feel good, but reading is very good. I strongly recommend that everyone looks at it. Emily, I think you really said you have read this story today, so I think you agree with me.
