Doesn't measles also wreck immune systems?

Because COVID has wrecked a lot of Americans' immune systems.

Are they spreading measles to shut down the border?

Measles spreads fast enough on its own.

It's airborne. After an infected person leaves a room, the virus hangs in the air for 2 hours.

An infected person can spread measles for 2 weeks before they show any symptoms.

That's why vaccines are so important.

We are in trouble. I feel like it's 2020 again.

Well if you're vaccinated, you should be fine. The MMR shot is good for a lifetime, but you can get a booster for peace of mind, or a test to be sure.

I worry for the kids with idiotic parents & people that depend on herd immunity that are going to get sick & possibly die or have lifelong issues.
