I was born late ‘52…the measles vax came out in ‘63 I think. My brother caught it and my mother closed all the curtains in the house to darken it as much as possible. I didn’t get it. He also caught the mumps…I escaped it. So now I have a 9 month old grandson…and his parents are very….shall I say vaccine ‘hesitant’…. They are going to vaccinate…but not sure when. Which galls me I have to admit. I remember getting the polio vaccine via a sugar cube! So now we have a very serious outbreak and it made me very nervous. I don’t recall being vaccinated for measles, and had I gotten it when it came out it would have been a killed virus and is not as effective. So, I got it and the only side effect I had was when it was given…stung like hell. Nothing afterward tho. Not even a sore arm. And I always have side effects from vaccines. So when I read that drug addled mind of RFK jr say that the vaccine can have worse side effects than having the disease I want to chuck a brick at his head. Well…that is my PSA for today. If you are concerned, get the vaccine. It won’t be a problem and you will be told to repeat it in a month. Not a big deal. I don’t want to get it, or accidentally give it to my baby grandson.
