Hmmm if only they had something that would pre-expose these kids to measles so that they don’t contract it and spread it when around others. That’d be pretty cool!

This is what happens when the U.S. had effectively eradicated measles, but then lets in a flood of unvaccinated foreigners from countries that never got rid of measles. Hmmm, wonder if these immigrants might be a problem for us.
