  1. When I was a kid, measles was considered one of the normal childhood diseases we all went through and developed immunity against catching it again.

    I can’t think of anyone that didn’t get them.

    So why is measles considered so dangerous today?

  2. Because of the math.

    World travel levels. World population level. Likelyhood of virus to mutate. Likelyhood of your immunity working.

    None of it’s 100%. It’s all a roll of the dice and ALWAYS will be.

    And our odds are getting shitty… too many people. too many unvax people. too many 3rd worlders bringing unvax and new disease strains.

  3. It doesn’t help that RFK jr is running around propagating the myth that the inoculation mediums are filled with heavy metals etc. and cause autism. People are buying it and not having their children protected.
    Then there’s the diseased hordes pouring over the border who’s young are placed in schools with our children.
