If this was something that just hurt people who made bad choices I wouldn’t mind this so much.
There’s also science showing catching Measles erases past immunity from other diseases, meaning just these deaths and illnesses directly from measles may not be the only ones.

- BLKNSLVR 2y agoVery interesting read, thank you.
- chneu 2y agoThere isn't "some indication". Measles wipes out the immune system protections that have been created from the womb/early development. People who contract measles suffer from illness at a much higher rate than people who do not contract measles.
- duxup 2y agoYeah I probably should have worded that way stronger. Fixed.
- 7e 2y agoNo vaccine is 100% effective, so these outbreaks also hurt people who have made good choices, albeit at a much lower rate.
