Thank you again, Becky, for stating the facts clearly. These are depressingly scary times. As a Senior citizen, a world without vaccines means fearful encounters with many folks who choose not to be vaccinated.
Example: As the first of the Boomers, I had the measles, chickenpox & mumps as a child. (no vaccines then) My husband had the measles, but despite exposure, he never contracted the mumps or chickenpox. I developed Shingles in 2013
(Yes, I had the initial vaccine.) Rich had to get a chickenpox vaccine to avoid getting Shingles also.

It’s a community health issue. Period.
Thank you for the information, as frightening as it is. I had already called my representatives about the flu vaccine meeting getting cancelled.
Scary times ahead
