By the time we could get vaccinations (on a sugar cube at first) I had already had measles 3 times (there were lots of different types) and nearly died from the German measles. I had a temp of 105 and dr said too dangerous to move me so parents put me in the bathtub and dumped loads of ice on me. This is what is coming back due to reich wing assholes who are trying to kill us!!!
