minus-squaredaannii@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-28 months agoSo I had the measles back in the mid 90s (the last outbreak). I was vaccinated but still got it cause vaccinations aren’t 100%. I was young. I was hospitalized for like a week. My mom says I almost died. My memories of it are vague but I do recall being hospitalized. Pneumonia. Something about a kidney infection too. Maybe from being in bad condition. Measles can damage hearing. Permanently. Measles encephalitis. That can also cause brain damage resulting in permanent cognitive disability. I was fortunately not one of them. But that can happen. This isn’t some common cold. Measles kills children or can leave them disabled. Wtf is wrong with people?
