So, even if you had been immune, through previous illness, vaccination or via maternal milk, you may not be anymore after having measles.

I had never heard this until today, and it’s an absolutely horrifying thought.

You’re welcome.

    Indeed. I’m very glad I’m in the UK, where vaccine denialism is at least a bit less prevalent than in the States. I saw that Texas has an outbreak right now. Scary stuff.

      Yeah, people think the right to free expression means they have a right to have whatever stupid shit they believe in enshrined in secular law here, sadly. And, for the most part, they’re right.

        I dunno. So I’m legally not even allowed as a tax paying adult to smoke a plant in my own home but if I have a child I can recklessly endanger it’s life and or cognitive function as well as the wellness then of my entire community because freedom? Seems like your secular laws are strongly biased towards stupidity.
