I need to be very, very clear: when I was a kid, the U.S. had beaten measles. Measles was a thing everyone got vaccinated for and no one caught. I never met or heard of *anyone* who had measles. Fuck Wakefield, fuck RFK, fuck antivaxxers in general
Measles can cause immune amnesia effectively wiping out every immunity you've ever had from a prior infection or vaccination
More than 10.3 million people caught measles last year, a 20% increase from a year earlier, according to a joint report by the World Health Organization and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
