…and thanks to BobK junior the sadistic nutball running the Dept of Health.

Measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, and whooping cough are all on the rise. In a world where a traveller can get from one continent to the next in a day, diseases the current generation has absolutely no experience with can come into American airports with ease.

My mom knew got us kids the vaccines available when we were born — DPT and Smallpox. She knew all the signs, symptoms, potential deadly complications, home nursing, and when to get us in to the doctor’s office. When polio vaccines were developed, my parents joined the whole blessed town in lines around the block to make sure we all got protected.

How long before polio shows back up?

This school district is run by idiots. But why should they be different from DC?
