I took the week off from posting updates but the measles didn’t….cases still rising in the Buckingham County outbreak.

Concrete actions you can take:

Today’s measles updates….current cases in Buckingham are up to 99 cases. Also an ongoing advisory from the VDH to avoid large gatherings in Buckingham.

Proud of Tom for being on the right side for our communities in OPPOSING Valley Link. If you've never heard of this project - you should watch this and read up on it - b/c it’s so massive that it probably involves your family, close friends or neighbors. We know how to fight back...WE protect us.

Thursday’s measles updates….and also an advisory from the Virginia Department of Health to avoid large gatherings in Buckingham.

This is the number of cases of measles this year in Virginia. (Last year we had 5 the entire year.) Again, the correct number of measles cases is ZERO. Please check your vaccination status and reach out to learn more if you have questions.

Latest update on the Buckingham measles outbreak (cases increased to 84 from 69). Still contained to the Piedmont Health district - 15 more cases than last week’s update. (Included the last 4 updates below) We recommend early vaccination with MMR, which is the best way to prevent measles.

This is an excellent recap of why HR 1 has had such a negative impact on food security - through limiting SNAP benefits & increasing work requirements etc. SPOILER ALERT: there is no evidence for work requirement…. c-ville.com/john-mcguire...

Locals- if you work for a larger employer in Charlottesville/Albemarle can you let me know if you have insurance through Anthem? I know UVa is Aetna….but wondering about other large employers….

Thursday update shows ongoing increase in measles cases in the Buckingham outbreak. Good news —- it has not spread outside of the Piedmont health District. However, the BRHD shares multiple borders w/buckingham so we remain on alert and recommend early vaccination for babies and toddlers.

Just kidding….new update shows cases of measles still increasing….

Holding steady with this morning’s measles update- with the outbreak in Buckingham at 41 cases- and not spreading out of Buckingham at this point! Of note, 80% of the cases in this outbreak are in unvaccinated people.

apple.news/A9-wOVWaRRNq.... It didn’t take this analysis to know how dangerous Measles is. It’s a well-established fact, based on sound evidence and Felonious 47’s bootlickers are purposely trying to hurt people thru their lies and misinformation about vaccination.

If you’ve been thinking about giving a donation to a food bank, this is an awesome time of year to do it! When kids are out of school for the summer, those who rely on schools for meals, often find themselves without enough food for the entire family.

More measles news from Buckingham…cases are rising related to the outbreak. Please check your vaccination status — the MMR vaccine is the best way to prevent measles.

“Health officials say one infected person can expose hundreds of others before symptoms appear…VDH is urging families to ensure children are up to date on the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, especially in Buckingham County.”

There is a Measles outbreak in nearby Buckingham county (the Piedmont health district). Cases are rising so please touch base with us if you would like to get your child fully protected from the measles.

Blue ridge showing off tonight💙

Just like old times….Doing our part to protect the babies. Grateful to the staff at Pediatric Asspciates that stayed on a Friday afternoon to help vaccinate kids in our community💙

Measles outbreak is official. If you are a patient at our office and have questions please send us a message by the patient portal or call the office.

Hoping for more details soon… “The child was exposed to measles locally, and the VDH believes the virus is circulating in the county. It is likely that there are more cases than have been reported, the department said in a May 8 news release.” www.cvilletomorrow.org/health-offic...

If you live or work in buckingham, please be aware of your measles vaccine status and check with your doctor if you have questions. MMR vaccine is the best way to prevent measles, which is a very serious illness.

“Based on this information, VDH has reason to suspect that measles is circulating in the Buckingham County area, and that there are likely more cases than have been reported.” www.cbs19news.com/news/officia...

Thank you Gloria, Council member Dr. Wilder, and Vice Mayor Wright for your support of my campaign! Proud to have three strong community leaders from Lynchburg on Team Tom.

I hear young people every day in the office talk about fears they have for their safety & the safety of their classmates. And also the strategies that they’ve devised to keep each other safe. I respect the heck out of the fact that they’re raising their voices. cvillerightnow.com/news/208802-...

I believe that we will win 👏👏

Go time!!!! bluevirginia.us/2026/02/brea...

“…these moves may blunt some of the most damaging effects of Kennedy’s policies. Physicians can still recommend routine immunizations w/ confidence. & even as trust in federal guidance erodes, clinicians and families can turn to trusted medical institutions.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

👏👏👏

Let’s go💙

Does anyone know if Albemarle County has been doing anything for the students who depend on the schools for breakfast and lunch?

I’m just saying….we’re going to need a strategy other than wait for it to melt to get these kids back in school…

If this headline isn’t the perfect summary of the evil, incompetence and pure disdain for children shown by this administration not sure what is… www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-dil...
