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."

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.

Web monetization.  Working on gfam.live to help creators earn from their content.

And that doesn't even include all the people that were disabled by Polio and other diseases.  

It's so truly upsetting.

Well said. I thought about this a lot when some official in Texas was saying that exposure to diseases is somehow the proper, Lindy way of promoting immunity. How do you not know how many children used to just die? Have you never read a single book or seen a movie about a time period before the 1950s? Insanity.

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.
