I had the measles when I was 6 - wasn’t any sicker than strep throat or anything else — probably missed a week of school ( til rash was gone ) 1959 or so - mumps hurt worse cause painful swallowing— chickenpox miserable itching for a few days — only vaccinations I ever had (72 yo btw) was dpt , polio on a sugar cube and smallpox on my left shoulder. I never had diphtheria or tetanus ( had lots of horses and rusty nails) but I did get pertussis ( whooping cough) — the p of the dpt vaccine when I was in my 50’s — vaccine wore off and worked with Mexican nationals that had misc diseases — lost 8-10 pounds in a few weeks due to whooping and vomiting after every meal trying to eat but 30-40 days later perfectly fine — my mom had it as a child in the 1930’s and remembered enough to walk me through some— meanwhile— vaccines do not give lifelong protection— perhaps the actual disease doesn’t either but I’d count on the disease immunity gained 100x’s over any vaccine myself
I’m 72 next month— never watched cnn or any network news in my life but — a lot of old “ hippies “ do — they predate the liberals and the Karens and find themselves so self righteous as they trust the networks and cable now because— “ why would they lie?” Same morons that spit on returning Vietnam soldiers ( mostly drafted) — I never fit in with most of my peers…
We are never all the same as a chihuahua raised with kids and cats are not the same as a chihuahua raised by a 60 year old widower— but we share as do they certain traits that are transferable into different situations that they/ we easily adapt to -that being said Great Danes and Chihuahuas are both breeds of the same ilk — humans are the same— we produce no hybrids like donkey/horse— we are essentially ( race/breed) like humans/dogs — point being we all make great designer hybrids as well as great mutts and purebreds too!
Yeah it’s really p;:sing me off - think I’ll get Guineas or peacocks— both loud and proud— my neighbors across the street have duck and chickens - neighborhood Cooper’s hawk torments them daily by hearing the squawking 😁
Thank God some people have integrity for their beliefs and God and will endure the consequences of witnessing these values in the public sphere— not a whole lot of men left but I think they’re making a strong comeback shortly!
Dog is God spelled backwards
