 @453ca0c7 as a result of catching measles I spent the next five years in and out of the children's hospital with much of that time in an oxygen tent

 @30ce86c6 @453ca0c7 I was born before vaccines were available. I was VERY lucky to avoid polio, smallpox, and cholera, but got chickenpox, mumps, measles, you name it. I will NEVER go thru that again, if I have to walk on glass and barbed wire to get vaxxed.
