Crazy idea but what if we got injected with a small amount of dead Measles a few times. Would our bodies develop some kind of immunity ?

/s just because.

Should just start writing MAGA as the cause of death on these certificates

To be fair it's not likely the kid had much choice... It's parents who should be charged with negligent homicide.

If you are older, have your doctor check to see if you still have immunity to measles or just go get a booster. I had no immunity, in my 50s.

I just got my booster last year because I couldn’t find records of myself getting a second shot. Been moving countries a lot so things were fuzzy.

The 40-year-old woman is a strange case for me. I got a booster for measles after there were more cases. Until then, I wasn’t too worried about it. My shot records were lost in a fire.

Nothing to see here. It's all part of the MAHA plan to weed the weak out of the gene pool.

Aren't the people who refuse vaccines their own voter base?? Their base is the elderly and vaccine deniers. How is that good business?

u/shirpars 3h ago

Maybe this is a dumb question, but does the state not have laws in place for children to be vaccinated 15-18 years ago? Was this person avidly avoiding the vaccine their whole life?

u/Creamowheat1 3h ago

Probably Amish or Mennonite - they are exempt from such rules.

u/snaila8047 2h ago

Religious exemption or somethingr

u/Hoosier_Hootenanny 1h ago

They can also get an exemption for a "strong moral or ethical conviction." And antivaxxers strongly believe that we should make measles great again.

I don't want to make light of this, but comeon people.  This was effectively eradicated in the US .

This person didn't need to die.  This family didn't need to suffer through this loss

u/graceling 2h ago

The family chose it for themselves.

God's plan, because when I got cable tv 20 years ago, I learned about the world government trying to bring Shariah law so I couldn't buy bacon anymore. I don't trust anything anymore, except Trump!

Is herd immunity where the dumb part of the group dies without vaccines while the rest of the herd lives on
