👀 #Measles #DurhamCounty
durhamhealthnc.bsky.social Durham County Department of Public Health (DCoDPH) @durhamhealthnc.bsky.social · Jan 27
Misinformation about measles and the vaccine (MMR vaccine) is spreading, so to protect your family and others, it’s important to know fact from fiction. Learn more, and remember to turn to credible sources and your doctor if you have questions.
Myth: “Measles is just a rash. It’s not that serious.” Fact: Measles is a dangerous illness that can cause lifelong damage to your health. About 1 in 5 unvaccinated people in the U.S. who get measles will be hospitalized. Measles can cause pneumonia, brain swelling, deafness, intellectual disabilities, immune amnesia (causing your body to lose protection you previously developed for other illnesses), SSPE (a fatal brain disease), birth defects after a measles infection during pregnancy, and more, including death. “I know someone who got vaccinated and still got measles. Vaccines don’t work.” Fact: No vaccine will prevent 100% of cases of illness, but measles vaccines are 97% effective at preventing measles. Receiving both doses of the measles vaccine is about 97% effective at preventing measles. People who are not protected from measles have about a 90% chance of becoming sick if they are infected. In other words, 9 out of 10 people who are exposed to measles will become sick if not protected. Myth: “Measles outbreaks are being caused by people getting vaccinated.” Fact: The vast majority of people who develop measles are unvaccinated. Measles vaccines have significantly reduced the spread of measles. Before measles vaccines were introduced, 3-4 million people in the U.S. were infected with measles each year*. Cases began to decrease significantly after widespread vaccination, and the U.S. reached elimination status for measles, meaning there was no continuous spread of the disease for more than 12 months. Unfortunately, as vaccination rates have decreased, outbreaks have increased, and the U.S. is at risk of losing this status. About 90% of children born in the U.S. receive at least one dose of the measles vaccine by the 2nd birthday**. If vaccines were causing measles, we would probably have hundreds of thousands (or millions) of cases every year. “Vaccines are causing measles outbreaks due to vaccine shedding.” The measles virus does not cause other people to become sick with measles. In rare cases, measles vaccination can cause short-term symptoms like a rash and fever (healthcare providers are aware of this when diagnosing measles, and this is not the reason for high case counts of actual measles infections), but this is not the same as a regular measles infection. The measles vaccine, like many vaccines, contains a significantly weakened strain of the virus, and it does give others a measles infection or protection against measles*. If you don’t want to read the studies (we don’t blame you. They’re not the easiest to read), think of it this way: Most people in the U.S. have received at least one dose of the measles vaccine. If the vaccine caused other people to get sick, lots more people across the country would have measles, and it’s unlikely that cases would be centered around outbreak areas. The vaccine probably would not know how to only shed in certain parts of the country at a time.

Roadside meeting with Durham County farmer. North Carolina. He gives road directions by drawing the dirt with a stick

#durhamcounty #northcarolina #DorotheaLange #northcarolinas #undefined #photography #dorothealange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017772651/
The image is a black and white photograph featuring an older male figure squatting on the side of what appears to be a rural road. He's dressed in overalls, with suspenders visible around his waist, suggesting manual labor attire typical for agricultural settings. His right hand is holding onto one leg while he squats low to examine something directly beneath him - perhaps soil or some small object not easily discernible from this distance. The figure wears a hat and has bare feet; the absence of footwear could indicate work in dirt environments that might be abrasive on shoes, such as farming. His expression seems focused and possibly contemplative. In his left hand, he holds what appears to be a stick or rod with which he's interacting directly with the ground. The background reveals an outdoor rural setting with wild grasses and trees scattered across open fields, indicating a countryside environment. There is also part of a structure visible in the upper right corner behind him; it resembles a porch or veranda typical for farmhouses. The overall atmosphere conveys simplicity and solitude commonly associated with pastoral life. This image reflects themes often explored by Dorothea Lange during her documentation period - capturing everyday lives, struggles, and interactions within agricultural communities such as those in North Carolina's Durham County. Her work is k [...]

Roadside meeting with Durham County farmer. North Carolina. He gives road directions by drawing in dirt with stick

#durhamcounty #northcarolina #second #thegreatdepression #DorotheaLange’s #undefined #photography #dorothealange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017772642/
The image is a black and white photograph showing two individuals outdoors. The person in the foreground appears to be an adult, wearing dark overalls with suspenders, standing on what looks like a dirt road or path. Only their lower body is visible as they walk past another individual. In contrast, the second figure, possibly younger due to size comparison, squats down and seems engaged with something near the ground using his right hand. This person wears a hat, appears barefoot, has dark pants rolled up at the cuffs, and holds what looks like a bag or bundle on their back left side. Their attire suggests manual labor or outdoor activity. The background features an open field with scattered trees, bushes, and grasses, indicative of rural surroundings. The sky is overcast, suggesting cloudy weather conditions typical for early to mid-20th-century photography in the U.S., possibly during a time when such activities were more common due to economic circumstances like the Great Depression. There's no direct indication within this image regarding why they are engaging with something on the ground or if it relates to any specific meeting, as mentioned in the context. However, given historical photographs of rural life from that era and considering Dorothea Lange’s work documenting social issues such as poverty and labor during her time, one could infer a connection between [...]
