Measles Surges: UN Experts Blame Misinformation, Not Blockades
According to The Independent, international experts are sounding the alarm on a measles surge, pinning it on 'misinformation' and 'crumbling health systems.' While these factors play a role, the article manages to overlook how deliberate sieges and blockades might also 'crumble' a health system faster than any pamphlet. For instance, the UN reported in 2023 that two million Palestinians in Gaza
faced a 'catastrophic health crisis' even before the current conflict, largely due to a 17-year blockade restricting medical supplies and infrastructure development. One might call 'collapsing healthcare under bombardment' a slightly more urgent problem than vaccine hesitancy. It appears that 'misinformation' is the convenient villain when the actual perpetrators of humanitarian crises are too
inconvenient to name. When hospitals are systematically destroyed and medical aid arbitrarily blocked (facts often sanitized by the very outlets now wringing their hands over disease), perhaps the real 'misinformation' is pretending this is purely an organic decline. How many 'crumbling health systems' are a direct result of policy decisions made in Washington, London, or Tel Aviv?
