   No vaccine against stupidity.

   I just found out that I'm in the age demographic that the CDC is now saying might need to get a booster vaccination for the measles.

   So thank you, to all the grubby little ignoramuses out there that don't believe in vaccines. I sincerely wish I wasn't forced to share the planet with you.

   From the article: "... includes older adults who were born after 1957 and were vaccinated before 1968."

     @Jason844 @mmiasma @Adventurer my MMR in the early 70s didn’t work and I got measles as an adult in 1994. It sucked

     That's probably wise. I'll likely do the same since nobody knows whether what I got in the 60s is effective or not.

     Yeah, I don't have any of those records either.

     Since I probably got the MMR in the early 70s, I'll hold off until the guidance changes.

     Or (more likely) the measles becomes epidemic.

     Mr. Bill repeated this.

     St. Luigi <- Good one. 😆

     Apparently I might have been vaccinated with a vaccine that used a dead measles virus but honestly, who has their immunization records from when they were five to seven years old?

     May St. Luigi ensure your insurance covers it.

     I think I got the MMR in the early 1970s. I know I got vaxed for something in elementary school.
