Thanks to widespread vaccination, measles had been considered “eliminated” as a continually transmitting illness in the United States since 2000. But not anymore.

    We did it!

    My father got polio as a kid. His doctors told his parents he would die. He lived. I got to be born. We eliminated polio. Let’s bring that back next.

      It is not just conservatives. The only reason I am vaccinated is I am old enough that there were basically no exemptions to go to school and not be vaccinated. And my mom hated raising her children more than she hated vaccines, so to keep us out of her hair she vaccinated us for school.

      She is also one of those people who will say, “too bad they cannot just give you a shot that is a dead or weakened version of the virus instead of a vaccine.”

      I read that as “pooping the champagne”, and it’s quite appropriate.

    I hope travel restrictions are implemented until the US stops being so idiotic.

      I don’t know if anyone is aligned with the USSR anymore. I guess Putin is, even though it may only exist in his mind.

      (Third-world originally meant aligned neither with NATO/US nor Russia but came to mean other things).
