Kindergarten vaccine coverage dropped again. The CDC measured it. The CDC announced it. Retail traders did not notice because they were busy losing money on biotech penny stocks that promised to cure diseases we already had vaccines for.
Measles cases climbed while MMR vaccination rates fell. This started during COVID-19. Parents stayed home. Parents went online. Parents found other parents who also went online. Together they decided that decades of medical research mattered less than a thread started by someone named Crystal whose bio says "Mama Bear" and "Do Your Own Research."
The technical setup here is clean. You get a pandemic. People stop trusting institutions. Vaccination rates drop. Preventable diseases return. The chart patterns could not be clearer. A five-year-old could read this trend. But a five-year-old cannot read yet because they caught measles and now they are in the hospital.
The CDC published data. The data showed the problem. The problem will continue because the people who need to read the data are the same people who think the CDC is lying to them. They will not read the data. They will read a blog post about the data written by someone who also sells essential oils.
This creates opportunity. Not for your portfolio. You do not have a portfolio. You have three shares of a vaccine manufacturer you bought at the top because you saw someone on Twitter say it was going to the moon. It did not go to the moon. It went to seven dollars.
Measles is back because we decided that preventing measles was optional. We had one job. Stick a needle in a kid twice. We failed. The failure is measurable. The failure is ongoing. The failure has a body count that will climb while parents explain that they are just asking questions.
They are asking questions. The questions were answered in 1963 when we made the f*cking vaccine.
