DENVER (AP) — U.S. health officials have confirmed that three children recently hospitalized with measles in Colorado traveled from New Zealand to Los Angeles International Airport before arriving in Denver.

The Denver Post reported Tuesday that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued warnings at airports in Denver and Los Angeles involving the same airline passengers.

And every other damned "childhood illness", including polio.
It's what happened if you were born behind the Iron Curtain in Hungary in 1950. Jozef D. Stalin was not interested in getting what few western immunizations there were for them.
I did not turn out okay. Lame and deaf is how I turned out.

it's the anti-vaxxers who are lame......it is important that they hear from people like you - illnesses don't always just "make us stronger" - they can be extremely debilitating, and can kill -

note to the grammar fanatics: yes I know the literal meaning of the word 'lame'
