555 & Counting

The CDC reports there were 555 cases of Measles from January 1 to April 11.  The CDC reports on its website:



From January 1 to April 11, 2019, 555** individual cases of measles have been confirmed in 20 states. This is the second-greatest number of cases reported in the U.S. since measles was eliminated in 2000.

The states that have reported cases to CDC are Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Texas, and Washington.
 While some groups such as the Central Mississippi Tea Party are anti-vaxxers, the hippies at Google are right there next to them on the Group W bench.  Wired reported:

A WIRED investigation shows that some children attending day care facilities affiliated with prominent Silicon Valley companies have not been completely vaccinated against preventable infectious diseases. At least, that’s according to a giant database from the California Department of Public Health, which tracks the vaccination rates at day care facilities and preschools in the state. We selected more than 20 large technology and health companies in the Bay Area and researched their day care offerings. Of 12 day care facilities affiliated with tech companies, six—that's half—have below-average vaccination rates, according to the state’s data.

 Six out of 12 facilities WIRED surveyed have a level of measles vaccination too low to provide herd immunity. And those six have a level of measles vaccination that does not provide the "herd immunity" critical to the spread of the disease. Now, this data has limitations—most critically, it might not be current. But it also suggests an incursion of anti-science, anti-vaccine thinking in one of the smartest regions on Earth.  Rest of article.

Saturday Night Live nailed it last weekend.

This should never have happened. Total preventable Stupid people! Millions of people have died in the past before medicine could stop it. Now, medicine can prevent this & stupid people refuse to get the medicine. The human race is DOOM, DOOM, DOOMED.

Hmmm, what could have changed to cause this?

Tea Party rocks!!

The Mississippi Tea party ruined by McDaniel, looks like a bunch of fringe outliers. Sad, it started as a good idea.

It most likely has a lot to due to the flow of sick and infested people crossing at our southern border. I hope President Trump dumps every last one of them in San Francisco!

What changed is that hundreds of thousands of illegals are allowed to roam free; illegals who can't spell vaccination.

Those that do not learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them....

We have raised a generation of “do what you want, rules don’t apply, here is your participation trophy” and this is what we get...

Illegals couldn't give you measles if you have been vaccinated.

You've been duped by anti-vaxxers who don't know why anecdotal information and intuition are unreliable and who can't discern an unreliable source from a credible source. And, you're being used by those who have a political agenda.


In short, you've been duped.

9:00 am speaking of unreliable sources you are a great example.

Vaccinations are less reliable than even condoms. Why do you think the government pushes so hard for every one to get vaccinated? If vaccinated would make you 100% immune then why is everyone getting their panties in a wad?

Who is behind the push to get everyone vaccinated? Big pharma.

Big pharma had nothing to do with my deciding to get vaccinated. Or my deciding to get my kids vaccinated.

I made that decision because I didn't want to get diseases that are now preventable - because of "Big Pharma's" work developing stuff that will ward off these diseases. And I appreciate their work, along with the work funded by "the swamp (big government)" that helped in this development.

I hope they can find the cure for dementia - now that I can live long enough (due to not dying from measles and other diseases) that I might have to face that possibility in a few years.

To 10:57. Vaccinations are not 100%, but the more people who are vaccinated, the less risk for all. An effective vaccination program is based on a large percentage of the population being vaccinated. It is not analogous to condoms because we are not taking about herd immunity as with vaccinations. Those who foolishly choose not to be vaccinated, or not to vaccinate their children, create risks not only for themselves and their children, but for others, including those who, for medical reasons can’t be vaccinated, not to mention decreasing the overall effectiveness of the vaccination program. The science is well known and understood, except by those who choose to be irrrational.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
