    I’m 54 and had no idea what measles was until lately. See, we didn’t have that shit when I was growing up, never even heard of someone catching it.

    That’s how dumb American’s have become. We’ve regressed to pre germ theory.

      To be fair that means the education system has failed you in that regard. That probably contributes to the anti vax cult, they’re simply not taught why vaccines are important and what they help prevent.

        Free quality education for all is a foundation for a functioning democracy. It’s also nice when your fellow man, your neighbor, is not a dumbass.
