When I was a kid, measles was a common childhood hazard. Everyone knew someone who caught it. Now, even a single case is unusual enough to warrant a press release.
#Immunisation works. We are KILLING it, folks.

@davej Thanks to Covid...and antivax yobbos...we are losing herd immunity in many places.
Yes, immunisation has worked for a few decades, but it has to be kept to 95% to achieve the best herd immunity, and we have lost that. There is no room for complacency. -
