Well apparently we can't control all childhood diseases what would you try to keep them in check with vaccinations of the young. They work back in the 50s and 60s they can work again today but we must be more careful about all the traveling that we do today and what countries

N 1986 it was required 2 prove u wer inoculated n order 2 register for classes. Hav u ever noticed n films of ancient history actors w/shot scars on their arms n 'ancient' portrayals? Lol.

It's a sanctuary city. its okay. Send more.

But everybody has been immunized in California, the land of forced vaccinations so everybody should be safe.

Wear masks people, wear masks anytime you’re out in crowds!!! 😷🤷🏻‍♀️
