    Just this morning, I saw a local news site (Bristol, UK) publish this article: https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/bristol-cent...

    I didn't realise that it was common for Brits to be refusing the MMR vaccine these days. Seems kind of stupid to me.

    I also didn't realise how measles compromises the immune system - immune amnesia which was only discovered in 2012.
