by Alex Berenson, Unreported Truths:
The New York Times takes 2025’s measles hysteria past 10, all the way to 11. And the fact it published falsehoods to do so doesn’t seem to bother it.
Sometimes you can’t let the science get in the way of The Science (TM).
Or the truth get in the way of a good woke-shaming exercise.
To ensure diverse opinions, The New York Times offers many types of insufferable lefty columnists, including feminist, environmentalist, literaryish, and Southern. The categories are not exclusive. If readers are really lucky, a writer can be all four at once!

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Margaret Renkl. She usually offers readers tales of daisies blooming with a side of Trump hate. They’re as scintillating as you imagine.
Renkl is 63. Renkl just got a measles vaccine. I know this because — as her contribution to the media hysteria over a measles “epidemic” that is actually part of a predictable once-every-five-years cycle — she described getting jabbed in a piece called, Why I Got the Measles Vaccine at Age 63.
Why indeed? Especially since Renkl acknowledges she was in fact vaccinated against measles as a kid. Honest answers would include:
1: I was looking for something to write about and I figured my odds of Guillain-Barre syndrome were low.
2: I needed to virtue signal and I was afraid to vandalize a Tesla, so many cameras, ugh.
3: I’m weirdly scared of measles, and all these articles have triggered me.
Now any of those columns would have been funny and interesting. So, no.
Instead Renkl offered a tortured justification about how her childhood vaccination might not protect her from measles, though she didn’t bother to check if she still had antibodies before getting the shot. That would have been too much trouble (and might have killed the column).
No, Renkl mainly wanted us to know: she’s a good person. A very good person. Better than anyone who voted for Donald Trump, for sure.
My own safety wasn’t my chief concern. Doing everything I can to protect my fellow human beings who cannot be vaccinated… seems to me to be the only moral thing to do for anyone living in close community with other people. And that’s almost all of us.
Community is a concept that the MAGA movement is working overtime to undo…
Yes, getting a measles shot – even if you may already have antibodies against measles, even if you are not at any meaningful risk of getting measles – is THE ONLY MORAL THING TO DO, PEOPLE.
And here I thought it was a pointless waste of medical resources.
