Bobby Morbillivirus strikes again, as everyone except Sen. Bill Cassidy knew he would.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will direct federal health agencies to explore potential new treatments for measles as the U.S. faces its largest outbreak in 25 years. Experts fear the decision could have grave consequences, as studies show the existing vaccine is 97% effective in preventing infection.
RFK Jr. Orders Search for New Measles Treatments Instead of Urging Vaccination
Decades of research have turned up no miracle treatment for measles, but studies show the M.M.R. shot is 97 percent effective in preventing the disease.

Here's a story about detection of cetacean morbillivirus, in the same genus as measles virus, in whales' blowhole breath. I'm contemplating what we can learn by exploring transmission between animals. HT Julian Tang

Antibiotics are for BACTERIAL infection measles, Morbillivirus, is a VIRUS.

Antibiotics are for BACTERIAL infection measles, Morbillivirus, is a VIRUS.
'Measles' is derived from Middle Dutch 'masel' which means "pustule", so you could, gramatically, have one measle.
Taxonomically, measles is a 'morbillivirus', where Latin 'morbillus' means ... "pustule". So 'pustule virus'.
It's pustules all the way down, is what I'm saying.

We cannot capitulate to Bobby Morbillivirus and his pet kakistocrats at HHS. No pivoting or “working together” or bootlicking.
It’s time to stand up for our profession and our work, both within & out of government. Nobody will do it for us, so we must advocate for ourselves.

Don't bow to RFK's bullshit when he drops it on you. Don't figure out how to "pivot to MAHA" or whatever loser, ineffective garbage is being said by some NIH leaders — the weak, frightened ones.
Instead, push that away and say why YOUR work is so good.
To the public.

So I’ve been saying this for a while, but we’re gonna see a lot more measles outbreaks due to antivax nonsense.
And this is bad not just bc measles is a bummer, but because it’s a morbillivirus.

1. The Senate confirmed RFK Jr at the same time as a massive measles outbreak was sweeping through areas of Texas with low vaccination rates.
RFK Jr visited Texas yesterday. Not to address the burgeoning crisis but to continue to push anti-vaccine messaging.

But the measles disease is caused by a virus that’s just called measles virus, so probably not what they’re thinking. Unless they’re hanging their hat on the scientific name of Morbillivirus, but it’s often just called the measles virus in scientific literature.

Donald Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary explicitly does not believe that Morbillivirus hominis causes measles. We know this because he wrote it down in his own books, which are still in print and from which he still makes money. But stating this plainly makes someone sound insane.

I am not a doctor. I do not need to be a doctor to say with absolute confidence that no one has ever contracted measles because of a poor diet.
Measles is caused by exposure to morbillivirus. And nothing else. ~90% of unvaccinated people who are exposed to the virus will develop measles.

Sure. The measles virus and the polio virus, which cause measles and poliomyelitis respectively. Although technically, while both viruses, we haven't eliminated either one entirely.
The correct answers are Morbillivirus pecoris (rinderpest) and Variola (smallpox).
