โOnly very sick kids should die from measles.โ
No. They shouldnโt. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didnโt die. 
Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!
When I was undergrad, I took a course on international human rights law. It was a great course. The professor was fantastic. I remember feeling ridiculous when I asked her after class one day about something that had been on my mind, although it felt like a needless hypothetical.

I'm going to get a little wonky and write about Donald Trump and negotiations. For those who don't know, I'm an adjunct professor at Indiana University - Robert H. McKinney School of Law and I teach negotiations. Okay, here goes.
Speechless. Currently in the hospital as the Pediatric Infectious Disease Attending & access to vital info is limited. My duty to each child that I take care of is to have to most up to date information - in order to provide the best possible care. This is unacceptable

Looks like we werenโt the only ones whoโd rather get a root canal than watch Trump lie about protecting the Constitution.
His second inauguration tanked at just 24.59M viewersโless than Bidenโs 33.76M in 2021 and even his own 30.64M in 2017.
Team Trump will lie about this, so spread the word!
