The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything.
It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.

Israel has killed 249 journalists in the last 2 years.
That's more than were killed in WWII & the Vietnam War put together.
A Vermonter, Dylan Collins, was wounded in one of these attacks, which killed another reporter. This war against journalists must be investigated & ended.

Rereading BEEZUS AND RAMONA with my little, I can’t help but think about how Ramona was clearly a ND girl that everyone treated like the biggest pain in the ass/burden, telling her she was “naughty” and wrong. And also the Eldest Sister bullshit is SO real. Grew up to these messages, loud and clear.
