You're seeing that we've gone from 50 cases of measles last year to 200 this year. We have had more than 200 deaths from flu in children this year, which is very high. You've had a almost five-fold increase in whooping cough. We went from 3,000 cases last year to 17,000 this year.

If you look back in the 70s, we've had school mandates for decades, but decades and decades, but they weren't really enforced early on until the 70s. In the 70s, what happened is you had massive outbreaks in Detroit, Alaska, Los Angeles, and with that, they enforced school mandates and the instance of measles went way down.

And we eliminated measles by the year 2000, but these non-medical exemptions that people choose And I think with COVID mandates, there was such a backlash to that that people are seeing vaccines and vaccine mandates as a dirty word. And so measles is coming back. So you're seeing more than 200 cases of measles this year.

Get to 1,000 cases with a virus that has a mortality rate of 0.1%, and you're going to start to see children dying of measles again in this country. It is unconscionable. And I wish we didn't have to have mandates. I wish we didn't have to have school mandates. Yeah.

Right, no, here's a perfect story for that. I remember in the first year of COVID, when the vaccine came out in December 2020, so this was like 2021, there was a, and the vaccines were also available for children by May, children over 12.

So we were seeing adolescents who were coming in with severe respiratory disease, and we saw one child who came into the, initially on the floor, but then ultimately went up to the intensive care unit, lived, but he was really sick. So I remember talking to, there were two other siblings who were old enough to have gotten the vaccine. The mother wasn't vaccinated.

The two siblings weren't vaccinated. And the father was in the room and I asked him whether he was vaccinated. He said, yeah, I had to for work. Just kind of like this, you know, I just had to.
