Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Vaccination against measles represents 60% of the benefit.
RFK is going on the news and telling people “it would be better if everyone got measles.” He is dangerously ignorant.

Can I shamelessly post these photos that I took in 2006 when I visited the Canadian Museum of Civilization (today it's the Canadian Museum of History)? They are the last Red Ensign flag that flew over the Peace Tower on 15 Feb. 1965; the first Maple Leaf Flag; and finally the Pearson Pennant.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
