That's it, thanks so much!

As always, Ian is months ahead of issues that will affect us all, and conveys the information in a straightforward fashion. You should really be following him.

This is the post on the measles' "Immune Amnesia" which everyone in the US should be aware of, if we've decided 1950 and before is the era we really want to live in, especially for young children.

Measles is much more serious than a rash and fever: it also causes immune amnesia and leaves patients especially vulnerable to secondary infection.

Immune amnesia: Why even mild measles infections can lead to serious disease later

Getting measles doesn’t confer benefits on the immune system — in fact, it’s just the opposite.
Even a mild case of measles destroys the memory cells that confer resistance on bugs the patient has previously fought, in what doctors call “immune amnesia.”
A measles outbreak has infected nearly 500 people in 19 states, including California. Vaccinations prevent both the measles and the subsequent loss of immune protections.

It's true. It's happened to me in the time before a measles vaccine. I got very ill...Hospitalized. I also went through a series of very painful gamma globulin shots to get some immunity built back up. Don't let this happen to your child...or you.

"Scientists have known for years that measles can alter the immune system – but the latest evidence suggests it's less of a mild tweaking, and more of a total reset."

Measles: The race to understand 'immune amnesia'

"Essentially, when you're infected with #measles, your immune system abruptly forgets every pathogen it's ever encountered before"

"'Measles parties' are a really, really bad idea.
Do not expose your child to measles.
Get your child vaccinated. The MMR vaccine is safe and effective."
