    Fresno County just reported another case as well. Where a LOT of Anti-vaxxers reside. Just in time for RTO. Madera might be affected as well.

      Even more fun! Measles eliminates your body’s built up immunities to other diseases. It basically hits the reset button on your immune system. Your immune system can take up to two years to recover from it. That’s why it was considered a “good” disease to get as a child, (so you could build your immunity back up as a child) but debilitating for adults to get (when you’re more prone to bad reactions from infections.)

      Which means a bunch of people will have no immune system when the next pandemic hits.

      IIRC you can still get it even if you are vaccinated? The point of 99% vaccination is so that spread never happens
