Measles attacks your immune system. When recovered, people lose about 30% of their immune capacity permanently.
The vaccine is 97% effective. And safe. And does not cause autism.

It’s gonna be real fun when the measles virus mutates and is able to avoid the protection that the vaccine provides. And yes, I know that measles is a relatively stable virus. But you take even relatively stable viruses and allow them to produce trillions of copies - one of those is gonna stick eventually, it’s jst probability.

Thanks RFK and Trump for degrading the lives of your supporters. Seems unkind, but somehow you have persuaded them it is good for them. Maybe you can bring back TB next.

That's the neat part, TB never left. Granted cases are down from 100 years ago, but it's still around. Thing is its not as deadly because they can cure it.
