It’ll continue to spread, as well. Last Friday, someone with contagious measles spent hours touring 2 Texas campuses, hours in college bars and restaurants, and hours in crowded tourist attractions.

If accurate, this person belongs in fucking prison

I doubt they knew they had it at that time.

They were almost certainly unvaccinated though.

So do you want to start imprisoning everyone that isn't vaccinated? Do you want to do it when they're still a child or the day they turn 18?
