Wow.

When I was a child during elementary school years both myself and my sister who was 2 years younger had measles 3 times each..

I remember them and well. Mumps was worse.

Nevertheless we didn't have vaccines at that time...

Chicken pox was really bad. They itched like crazy..

Contrary to the Brady Bunches portrayal of measles as a fairly trivial 'disease', it is in fact quite a nasty one. Can cause death, blindness, birth defects, and severe permanent neurological problems.

The MAIN cause of the current outbreak(s) is that a HUGE preponderance of GEN Z'rs are NOT VACINATING their children anymore ... against ANYTHING ... including polio because they are ignorant. That info comes straight from MY health provider yesterday.

It is NOT due to immigrants (some problem there) and NOT due to a live virus vaccine (severely weakened strain).

It is almost entirely due to RAMPANT 'all vaccines are extremely dangerous' hyperbole - ie. FEAR MONGERING coupled with intense ignorance of many parents today.
