@georgetakei Well, there are a couple potential pandemics brewing though, so, imagine if one hits again and we are already fubar from the orange tyrant’s activities. #measles #h5n1

What no one is talking about in regards to measles is how it can mess up the immune system for up to 3 years. It happened to me in the time before there was a vaccine, although they had not connected the dots on it back then.

Measles-ravaged immune system must β€˜relearn’ how to protect the body against infections

P.S. I worked as an expert on vaccine preventable diseases in public health.

β€œWhen you're infected with #measles, your immune system abruptly forgets every pathogen it's ever encountered before – every cold, every bout of flu, every exposure to bacteria or viruses in the environment, every vaccination. The loss is near-total and permanent. Once the measles infection is over, current evidence suggests that your body has to re-learn what's good and what's bad almost from scratch. β€œ

@georgetakei I try not getting into US politics or any politics but it’s curious that I made this the very day before I heard about this dangerous rubbish. #Vaccines should not be controversial. Vaccines save lives. I and countless others would be dead without them. Vaccines are a victim of their own success. They are safe and effective. Even the rare cases where something goes wrong it’s usually better than the disease including death. #polio is awful as is #measles and others!
Famous picture of iron lungs in I guess a hospital ward. I captioned it: BEFORE VACCINES. These very loud, scary coffin-shaped tubes are iron lungs, and they allowed thousands of people with polio to breathe. They were not living, they only survived; but even if you didn't exist in a loud and scary tube, there was a very big chance you'd become paralysed and unable to move, just like the late US President FDR. Vaccines made people forget this.
