Is it up to 3 now? When I grew up it was routine for half the children in town to be down with measles, mumps, chicken pox, or scarlet fever ever summer. Somehow we all survived.

When I was little, my parents made my sister and me drink from the same glass and sleep in the same bed when one of us came down with measles, mumps, chicken pox, or other various diseases so we'd both get immunity. When neighborhood kids got infected, all the other neighborhood kids were sent over to play with them. That's what was done before the MMR vaccine came along. Those diseases are much more dangerous to adults than children so our parents wanted us to get them early when our chances of recovery were good.

Did you know that in the late 50's and early 60's nearly twice as many children died of measles as did from polio? It was not simply a harmless childhood illness for everyone. I think we all know mumps at the wrong time can cause sterility in men. It can also lead to pancreatitis and meningitis. I have no interest in diseases we had been effectively suppressed to close to extinction in this country through effective mass vaccination becoming common place again and possibly harming those with immature or compromised immune systems because our Southern border leaks like a sieve and the free loaders of the world with the hygiene of swine are pouring in. Btw, Scarlet fever is a very advanced strep infection. My mother had it and spent 3 months in bed and has permanent heart damage. Thankfully now we have antibiotics and a better understanding of the strep infections.

Apparently measles, mumps and rubella are coming out of retirement. If contracted as an adult, all three can cause issues with fertility in males. Or, put another way, if you get them as a kid, you don't get them as an adult. You get them as an adult, you don't get kids.

We all had measles three times, Felt bad a few days and stayed in a darkened room. Had mumps and my dad caught them from us. He and mom went on to have two more kids. Had chicken pox. Healed just fine. Made sure both my boys had measles shots and still both got measles twice. The dr said, and I quote "well at least it was a light case.' So much for the shots.

Thank all the illegals for measles. I wonder what other diseases they've brought in. Remember the old days when we opened the doors to immigrants. They were actually checked for diseases. Joey just doesn't care how many diseases they bring in.

#1 I agree. However, our immune systems were not compromised with all the childhood vaccines. 1962 - 3 vaccines 1983 - 11 vaccines 2019 - 54 vaccines (pre covid)

The mayor of Athens, Ga., defended the city’s sanctuary policies in a newly released email he sent to the local sheriff two days after an illegal-immigrant allegedly murdered 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley. Athens mayor Kelly Girtz told Clarke County sheriff John Williams that he endorses non-cooperation policies with detainers issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to emails obtained by Representative Mike Collins (R., Ga.) through the Georgia Open Records Act. “While the community is experiencing deep trauma right now, and emotions are understandably raw, I support the detainer policy as one that is both humane and following the well-documented propensity of immigrants in the U.S

Former adviser to President George W. Bush Karl Rove warned Donald Trump that the former president’s attitude toward Nikki Haley’s supporters threatens his reelection bid this November. Rove claimed that with the electoral makeup of the 2024 election so close, Trump should not upset supporters of the former U.N. ambassador because their lack of support for him could benefit President Joe Biden instead. More than 76,000 voters chose Haley in Tuesday night’s Wisconsin primary, representing a significant percentage of voters still not sold on Trump. “Mr. Trump’s attitude to his rivals’ supporters has gone from dismissiveness—’they always bend the knee’—to indifference, saying he doesn’t need ‘too many’ Haley supporters to win

Former President Barack Obama’s onetime speechwriter claimed that reports that President Joe Biden is angry over Israel’s airstrike that killed seven aid workers “only make him look weak.” Jon Favreau said Biden does not deserve credit for being “privately enraged” over the killing of the aid workers because he has not used his position to “leverage” change from the Israeli government to stop its military campaign in Gaza. Biden has received much backlash over his response to the Israel-Hamas war. “The President doesn’t get credit for being ‘privately enraged’ when he still refuses to use leverage to stop the IDF from killing and starving innocent people,” Favreau posted to X

The 2024 general election is in full swing and the presidential candidates are making their case to the nation. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are duking it out on the campaign trail as Americans decide which candidate they will support. A new Economist/YouGov poll’s findings revealed precisely what the 2024 election will be about. The survey showed that regardless of which side one is on, this race is all about Trump. Researchers found that about 67 percent of Trump supporters are mostly voting for the former president. Among Democrats, about 52 percent indicated their votes will be against Trump.

The judge presiding over Donald Trump's falsifying business records case shot down his bid to use presidential immunity as part of his defense, finding the former president waited too long to raise the issue. In his ruling Wednesday, Judge Juan Merchan also denied Trump's motion to delay the trial's start date until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on his immunity claims in the federal election interference case in Washington, D.C. Trump had contended in a New York filing last month that he’s immune from state prosecution based on “official acts,” and that some of the evidence against him should be kept out of the impending trial because

In 2020, President Joe Biden's victory was buoyed by strong support among Black and Latino voters, as well as young voters. It was this concentration of support in key swing states including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin that gave Biden the edge that year. But in a new Wall Street Journal survey of the seven swing states, Biden continues to struggle to recreate the 2020 electoral coalition that paved his way to the White House. Former President Donald Trump leads Biden in all of the above mentioned states, plus North Carolina.

A bird flu pandemic could be '100 times worse than Covid' and kill up to half of everyone it infects, experts have warned — as the White House says it is 'monitoring' the situation. Speaking at a briefing, virus researchers said the H5N1 strain of bird flu may now be getting 'dangerously close' to triggering a pandemic. Multiple cases of the infection in a variety of mammals, including cows, cats and, more recently, humans, are all raising the risk of the virus mutating to become more transmissible, they said.

Chef José Andrés, founder of the World Central Kitchen (WCK), accused Israel of targeting his aid staffers “systemically, car by car” when seven of them were killed in an airstrike Monday delivering desperately needed food to hungry Gazans. The Israeli military, meanwhile, said Wednesday that an investigation found that its forces misidentified the aid workers’ vehicles as hostile amid international criticism for the deadly bombing and Israel’s ongoing six-month siege of the enclave. The three WCK vehicles, which included two armored cars and a third unarmored one, were targeted in multiple strikes, killing workers from Australia, Canada, Poland, the UK and the US as well as their Palestinian driver.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg this week used a faulty analogy on Fox News to taunt Americans for refusing to buy overpriced, environmentally damaging electric vehicles. But Americans on social media gave the inept and elitist Buttigieg a brutal reality check afterward. Buttigieg was a guest on “America’s Newsroom” with John Roberts and Sandra Smith when he embarrassed himself. Roberts opened by telling Buttigieg about the collapsing Tesla sales and auto companies laying off large chunks of their workforces at electric plants. He then pivoted to asking why the Biden regime continued to try to shove EVs down everyone’s throats.

Israel has not commented on the strike but is widely believed to be responsible having carried out numerous strikes similar to this one in the region. But Iran has warned that the US must also be held accountable despite the fact Washington has said it played no role in the attack.
