So, even if you had been immune, through previous illness, vaccination or via maternal milk, you may not be anymore after having measles.
I had never heard this until today, and it’s an absolutely horrifying thought.
You’re welcome.

Even better, as we saw with the outbreaks in Samoa, literally watching people die of it in an epidemic won’t convince them that they’re wrong.
Time to read up on measles and do what you can to protect yourself. Maybe do polio too while you’re out it.
Indeed. I’m very glad I’m in the UK, where vaccine denialism is at least a bit less prevalent than in the States. I saw that Texas has an outbreak right now. Scary stuff.
Yeah, people think the right to free expression means they have a right to have whatever stupid shit they believe in enshrined in secular law here, sadly. And, for the most part, they’re right.
I dunno. So I’m legally not even allowed as a tax paying adult to smoke a plant in my own home but if I have a child I can recklessly endanger it’s life and or cognitive function as well as the wellness then of my entire community because freedom? Seems like your secular laws are strongly biased towards stupidity.
Correct
Thanks for fact checking! 🌈Da more ya know!
They are indeed. That’ll happen when the vast majority of your country’s population is religious and doesn’t actually believe the shit they can see with their own two eyes, but believe fervently in shit that doesn’t exist.
Texan here, I legit missed this. I can’t believe I did; I was literally the first in line to get COVID Vaccines/Boosters. Seems Abbott hasn’t said anything, but some local news is.
