Measles cases in California reach a 10-year high
That’s weird. A disease we’ve nearly wiped out, coming back to haunt us. Huh … I wonder why?
Oh, here it is in the article: “The number of unvaccinated children has grown over the last decade, partly because of parent fears of a link between the shots and autism, a theory repeatedly disproved in scientific literature.”
