Two sentences that terrify as the father of a 3-month-old who's still too young to be vaccinated against measles: 

"1,277 measles cases have been confirmed as of July 5 in the United States. This is the highest level of cases we’ve seen in 33 years."

It breaks my brain that with incredible hard work we managed, as a society, to dramatically improve children's health so well that people have no idea how bad it had been and can't comphrend the horrors that diligence has kept at bay.

Yeah I mean all of us except the people declining vaccines and breaking herd immunity through their idiotic opposition to modern science. They are making it more dangerous for the rest of us, especially the babies who can’t get vaccinated yet. 

I wish people would be responsible and get their routine vaccines instead of believing witch doctors and hucksters on TikTok over medical professionals.

It’s scary out there, but your love and care already go a long way. We’re all trying to protect our little ones together.p

Moderate-to-severe symptoms.

The way that all the pediatricians tiptoe around vaccines with us because they're afraid of offending us if we're anti-vax is so disturbing. When I'm like "nah I'm a father who believes in modern medical science" they are relieved and say things like "you have no idea what it's like these days." 

Scary shit.

If only we knew how to prevent these things.
