Remember, RFK Jr said that measle outbreaks were common. He said that. Just last week. Now, because of him, people aren't getting vaccinated. Now, because of him, people are hospitalized and dying. Get vaccines

I never thought I would see legitimate warnings against measles parties. I love the idea of these adults culling themselves but kids should not be forced to have measles! Why would you make kids be horribly sick if there's an effective alternative!?
That sounds awful. You must have been so miserable AND you had to do all that make-up homework 😞 We had pox parties and I was angry forever after that we didn't get to choose, our parents just made us get sick.
Ouch. What a painful way to put that into perspective. I can kinda see where they were coming from but, also, they saw the damage measles did to their own classmates as children. And yet...
I'm super thankful the MMR was available and enforced by the time I hit school but I still got blood work this past Friday to see if I need a booster. I don't want mingles (shingles is to chicken pox as mingles is to measles. I'm not a doctor but I do have a decent imagination)
In 2000, measles was declared eliminated from the U.S. Since then, there have been occasional minor flare-ups, usually brought in by international travelers, but by and large, measles outbreaks have been rare. So, RFK Jr is lying. He's also crazy.
