“The measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
If only there was another proven way of doing this without the risk of serious complications of getting sick.

Under the current regime I am not sure that .gov can be trusted.
Now, I know the basics of vaccine theory, you expose a host to a weak strain of an infection, their immune response deals with it and learns how to fight the real thing.
That is a very simplistic way of explaining it, I know, but it is accurate for most people.
Anyway, this conversation has clearly devolved far away from the article and my, admittedly, bad, though not completely inaccurate joke.
I am sorry for the bad joke, yes, but the fact is that it is accurate enough for the common man.
