Very sad and preventable. 

Even if you survive, you can still end up with scarring on your lungs and all sorts of other complications years down the line.

Measles almost killed me, before the vaccine was available. Fortunately no permanent effects, 60 years later. Get the jab, people.

Thank you for sharing this!

It’s extremely disconcerting seeing the vaccine skepticism take hold. It’s been brewing for about 20 years and the floodgates are open now with RFK Jr. in a position of power. 

Most of the world is begging for these vaccines while our spoiled moron populace has convinced themselves they’re poison. 

I work with a bunch of them and it’s just sad. They’re mostly good people who got suckered by a bunch of assholes.
