I remember when we wanted to get measles so we would have LIFELONG immunity. Instead now we treat it like the plague and give “shots” that wear off and expose adults to it...

What is the big deal with measles? We had measles when I was a kid, and it was not a societal crisis. Why the hysteria nowadays?

Porous borders with third world countries does have consequences other than jobs and entitlements. This might not be the case here, but its a very good chance it was.

A single case of measles is a health emergency? Wow. When I was a kid, measles was just one more right of passage as you were growing up.

I didn’t even know that Measles was thinking of running in 2012. I expect Measles is against ObamaCare and any other health plan for that matter. Probably only has spotty support so far but still testing the waters in Iowa.
