Who knows, maybe polio will have a resurgence. It'll go nicely with the measles surge.

My MAGA family member sent me an instagram post of a screenshot of a Mayo Clinic article headline that said measles prevents some forms of cancer, so we should just let it run wild.

Ignore the fact that the natural form of measles has the risk of causing too many complications and long term negative health effects to be considered effective, and the cancer prevention research is on genetically modified strain specific to fighting cancer cells. Naturally, the instagram post did not link to the full article.
