Hawaii’s first confirmed measles infection has occurred in the weeks following the state government’s messaging campaign that urged citizens to receive a measles (MMR) vaccine, raising questions as to whether the MMR jab itself could be to blame.
The live virus in the measles vaccine is the product of gain-of-function (GOF) laboratory experiments and can be shed for weeks from the vaccinated, potentially infecting the unvaccinated.
Recently, measles outbreaks have followed government-led vaccination campaigns in Texas and Ontario, Canada. more
What would we ever do without these geniuses?
When I was a kid everybody got measles. You know what’s worse? A bad case of poison oak.
Same here, I had measles, chicken pox but I never had the mumps.
When I got the measles in the late 50s, my mother had my younger sister sleep in my room for a couple nights so she would catch it. She did, we both got over it in a few days. End of story.
We were poor so I had to settle for Scarlett Fever.

“We were poor so I had to settle for Scarlett Fever.”
I couldnt even afford THAT.
However, I actually had Cat Scratch Fever once.
First the Nuget kind, then the REAL kind.
I was pretty mad, Ted made it sound like more fun than the week in the hospital on IV antibiotic drips I ACTUALLY got out of it.

I had the mumps…. Don’t remember when though. Perhaps Tim remembers.
Growing up, we all had measles, 3-day measles, chicken pox and mumps. Don’t know anyone who died. Health department came around and nailed a great big red sign on the side of your house saying ‘Quarantined ‘ Didn’t have TV so we listened to the radio. A week later we had to go back to school. Measles could damage your eyesight so we wore sunglasses inside.
