Isn't measles considered bad because it's INSANELY contagious? Like covid made immunologisys freak out because the infection rate was over 2? Measles is like 12 or 18.
Lingers in the air for hours too... Good luck american morons and their neighbours...
I had measles as a kid, I wasn't vaccinated, i remember it as if it were yesterday, it was so traumatic, i genuinely thought I was going to die, I genuinely felt my mortality, at like 7 or 8yo. the pain was more than I could cope with. My mother was (and still is) an antivaxer. As deranged (and narc) as they come. I got my kids vaccinated. It's ripping my heart out, knowing what these kids are, entirely unnecessarily, being put through.
I don't want to pull on any strings that are too painful or nothing but ... did you tell your mom that you vaccinated your kids? if you did, how did she handle it?
If anyone in a large room or house has measles, everyone will get it.
1 in 100 will get the virus in their brains leading to permanent brain damage or blindness.
Even europeans, asians, will have to be more careful the next tens of years, thanks to some deranged conspiratists.
A closed room with a internal vents system like a mall or a school can have measles issues for weeks after a few case. It was ione of the worst virus of the past for a reason.
makes me glad my wife's classroom has external vents
