So no one will notice until there is a shortage of cheap disposable clothes…

Disappointing. If NPR wants to clickbait their titles, they should at least name the disease so it will maybe have some impact. “Measles outbreak kills 500 children”

Only anit-vaxer MAGAt idiots are ignoring the measles epidemic.
