I got my tdap updated recently.

Doctor was in full sales mode when I stopped them “oh I’m good I want vaccines”. Sad that they have to do that.

Vitamin A neither prevents nor cures measles.

I’m still reading this article https://www.nfid.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Call-to-Acti...

Note: I am pro-vaccination and I’m vaccinated against measles as well.

Fortunately, for those of that are lazy, the last page has everything you need to know in giant, bold letters:

1. Vitamins do NOT prevent measles. 2. Giving high doses of vitamins may be dangerous. 3. The best way to prevent measles is vaccination.

Looks like someone's prayers were answered.

Thoughts and prayers may have a future.

Quick, pull funding from the CDC, NIH ... before this thing has a chance to shrink!

Those born after 1957 and had their MMR vaccine before 1968 probably have no immunity because the government used a not-very-effective killed-virus in the vaccines. (Those born before '57 are presumed to have natural immunity.) Some only received one dose of the modern MMR (after '68) and really needed that second dose due to a number of factors (but others don't). Don't listen to anyone's "personal" or "political" opinions when it comes to vaccines --make a fact-based decision and then live or possibly die with it.
