Episode 14: Kids Are Dying Thanks to Woo: Measles Edition - a podcast by What The Woo

Fact: In 1963, you were 14,000 MORE likely to be infected with measles as you were in 2005.

Fact: Since 2005, when measles was effectively eradicated, the number of people infected and killed is again on the rise. Why? Vaccine fearmongering.

Fact: During these outbreaks, children: babies, kids undergoing chemo, ill babies- are far and away the most common victims. 

Fiction: Measles isn't a big deal. It only is if you're not the one dying.

Fact: It's not just about you, Darla.

That's in this episode of What the Woo.
