Without the vaccine, your “natural” immune system is less than 10% effective at preventing measles infection
Not only is the measles vaccine up to 99% effective at preventing measles infection, it can also reduce the risk of death from all causes by 30% up to 86% for up to 3 years (compared ro not being vaccinated) www.bbc.com/future/artic...
Measles: The race to understand 'immune amnesia'
Scientists have known for years that measles can alter the immune system – but the latest evidence suggests it's less of a mild tweaking, and more of a total reset.

This, in a nutshell, is why the Justice Department remains independent from the White House when it comes to directing criminal prosecution. A country that fails to take to heart the lessons of Watergate ends up with Trump.
If this were a report about any other country in the world, the headline would be something more like "Trump Expands Efforts to Crackdown on Political Opposition."
Trump Directs Justice Dept. to Investigate ActBlue, Democrats’ Cash Engine
The president ordered an inquiry into ActBlue, the main Democratic fund-raising platform, in his latest move using the government to target political opponents.

Congress literally created an Alien Terrorist Removal Court for the expeditious removal of aliens who are designated as terrorists, under a preponderance of evidence standard.

I understand what Judge Xinis is doing. She is building a factual record so that that record will be crystal clear when this case gets back to the Supreme Court.
But I also know it is taking too long. Two weeks is too long.
