I'm interested in this one. If those illegals are bringing in diseases, why are y'all catching it? Did your kids get a "shot" and not a "vaccine?"

Kids are unable to get the measles vaccine until they are around a year old. Then get the second round at 4-6 years old.

It's highly contagious. So folks getting vaccinated when they do reduces spread (and we had it eliminated here in 2000) and prevents those unvaccinated kids from getting sick until they are able to get the vaccine themselves.

Measles is capable of killing children who are unvaccinated. The larger issue is that it causes encephalitis, which can create life long disabilities if they recover from it.

This is all totally preventable but people have gone full on off the ledge over COVID and it's like they just skipped all of science class or something.

There's something you all are overlooking: the damage done to a fetus if its Mother catches Rubella during her pregnancy.

A family friend had four children and then her husband died serving our country. She contracted Rubella during her third pregnancy and only after the child was born did the family realize the damage that had happened. Severe retardation both physical and mental. Not the loving child some get along with retardation, but mean and physical.

The other three children had a hellish family life although cousins tried to help.

This happened to an educated, well behaved family and everybody back then tried to make sure their children got measles when it "was going around."
