After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

“one study found that 65% of people with the condition previously had measles or mumps – compared with the US national average of 15%. A separate study found the measles and mumps vaccines helped protect against developing the condition.”
