Medical advice from a senile estate developer
I have no idea what “take vaccine in five separate medical visits” means
Sadly, a lot of people will inflict this advice on their children
Decoding the word salad from Trump:
There should be five separate vaccines, each given quite some time apart, maybe even years apart - measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox and Hep B. Other vaccines? Kennedy hasn’t told him how bad they are yet, so stay tuned for more advice from DJT.

The Trump University School of Medicine has a lot to answer for.
What is the man on the left holding in his hand?
My daughter had 3 chicken pox vaccines instead of 2 because the doctors didn’t notice, that she had second MMR combined with chicken pox.

Thanks for the clarification
Donnie’s advice falls short as today measles, mumps & rubella vaccines are not available as individual shots.
Just out of curiosity and being totally ignorant of how much these things cost but wouldn’t splitting the vaccine into three pieces double, or more, the costs? Either to the families or to the taxpayers?

Not just the cost of manufacturing medicines separately, but the cost of doctor visits. Imagine having to pay for five office visits instead of one or two. Imagine trying to schedule five office visits when GPs are in short supply and overwhelmed.
I guess they could re-separate the MMR and V vaccines to satisfy some of the masses? An internet search tells me MMR has been a combined vax since 1971 in the USA. V was only added to the mix in 2005.

The different components all still exist as separate vaccines, some people need to receive them individually for a variety of reasons. They’re not administered separately that often but the option is there if necessary.
Obviously it would cost more in medical appointments to get the shots administered at different times.

Not necessarily a medical appointment situation…CVS, for example, gives all kinds of vaccinations on either an appointment or walk-in basis. My sis just got a flu shot by walking in, and they do MMR, shingles, etc., too.

" In its latest weekly update today, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported 30 more measles cases, putting the national total at 1,544 , a record high since the United States eliminated the disease in 2000.
Two more outbreaks were reported, bringing the total to 42."

This doesn’t include the South Carolina outbreak announced today.
So does the pharmacy here
Depressing
“Half of voters” ? The sampling error is stated as 3% which is a total misuse of statistics. It assumes that the sample is representative which is nonsense -how can one possibly know if a sample of 1100 is representative of population of voting age Americans (around 200 million).
No wonder polls get it wrong all the time and that is before you factor in human responses to poll questions.
That site does not appear to be neutral. For example cross-links to StopSocialism(dot)com.

Rasmussen are well known to have a strong right wing bias. This often shows in the wording of their questions whenever they want to produce a poll to support a particular political viewpoint. They are also very intransparant about their methodologies.

Wow. It is worse than I had thought. Deliberate misinformation. AI is only going to make this worse.
