Airports are quarantined. Movie theaters are quarantined. Schools are quarantined. The ship, above, is quarantined as a crew
member has measles. I saw it on the news
tonight, and I had to laugh. L. Ron
Hubbard wanted his own cruise ship. What
did he get but a very old, small ferry.

ReplyDeleteMRSA is rift too!!!
ReplyDeletelook, it's the SS Measles
ReplyDeleteCan you believe that measles is a thing again?
ReplyDeleteAll these anti-vaxxers make me crazy. My mother lost an infant son to diphtheria in the 1930s. I never missed a vaccine from the time I was born until now. How can you not want to prevent illness?
ReplyDeleteAs for caretaking, it is a very stressful undertaking. My blood pressure and arthritis flares have been due to the stress of the extra work while Terry has not been well.
The anti-vax folks are just afraid. I think they are fools to let this cause such horror. I love that kid who stood up to them and had the shots. The doctor's and my parents told me that I lost my eyesight because of measles.
DeleteYes, caretaking is a very hard job. George has been caretaking me through these two surgeries. I so appreciate it. Now he is going in for more, and it will be my turn to caretake him. :)
Shocked that we are beset by measles again. It's so ignorant.
ReplyDeleteHope you two get a break soon. Love to you both.
They believe in lies. Ignorant is a very good word.
DeleteI wonder when the anti-vaxers will reach the tipping point and say,"Ok bring on the shot." So sorry. I had heard eyesight was often a casualty of measles. It is nothing to play with.
ReplyDeleteI spent a week in the hospital with measles in the forties. If it's the cause of my poor eyesight, no one ever made the connection.
ReplyDeleteAnti vaxxers are a plague. I do not know the cure.
It's amazing what one pseudo report started.
ReplyDeleteI mean the original, false study about the vaccinations. But seriously, people have a world of valid information at their fingertips.
ReplyDeleteI know they say that if you were born before 1957, you should be immune, but what if? My mother says I had it, but what if she's confusing it with chicken pox? I'm going to ask my doctor if I can be tested to make sure I've had it. Those anti-vaxxers are such a pain.
