Measles killed 800,000 kids (worldwide) in 1980. It killed around 50,000 in 2022
“My 11 brothers and sisters, we all had measles and it was a great week” RFK Jr. said, describing the cure for measles as “chicken soup and vitamin A.”
RFK Jr. has made hundreds of speeches, written countless articles, and worked on many books railing against vaccines. But now, GOP Senators are saying he doesn't actually believe all that based on their brief 1-on-1 convos

The Cistercian numerals, developed by the Cistercian monastic order in the early 13th century, are a largely forgotten number system. They offer a more compact notation compared to Arabic or Roman numerals, allowing any integer from 1 to 9999 to be represented with a single character.
