      Yes, as they always have since it came out.

      It’s included in the MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)

        Omg, duh. I forget that’s what it stands for. I do not need to worry, yay!

      It does massive damage to your immune system, which is bad if you are on the hook for healthcare expenses. Destroys your long-term immune system like AIDS, and it takes years to fully recover- if you don’t get organ damage from it. It’s a fucked up, storybook disease. Luckily the MMR vaccine protects you from it.

      There was an interesting video on what it does to your body that I occasionally come back to.

        Protects most people from it. The vaccine does not take in 100% of the people it is administered to.
