Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Yeah, 54% of American adults read at the grade 6 level or lower.

This affects critical thinking, moral philosophy, and media analysis skills.

Thanks Reagan.

... Thinking fast and slow, and I have to tell you the human mind takes so*many* shortcuts, it's a miracle we can think at all.

Yeah, I'm hard on Reagan and all those who "like the uneducated." They build this culture.
