Or bird flu.

Or polio. Or some other preventable disease.

Watch

It will be all of them. Then he'll introduce something that has a brainworm parasite in it to "cure" it. The animorph brain work thing.

I'm telling you guys, that "dead" brainworm ain't dead.

I don't think people understand how bad measles is:

Furthermore, measles's reproductive number estimates vary beyond the frequently cited range of 12 to 18.[17] The NIH quote this 2017 paper saying: "[a] review in 2017 identified feasible measles R0 values of 3.7–203.3"

The measles virus can deplete previously acquired immune memory by killing cells that make antibodies, and thus weakens the immune system, which can cause deaths from other diseases.[42][43][44] Suppression of the immune system by measles lasts about two years and has been epidemiologically implicated in up to 90% of childhood deaths in third world countries, and historically may have caused rather more deaths in the United States, the UK and Denmark than were directly caused by measles.

Just wait until a third of the US doesn't vaccinate for it -- you're going to have 1980's levels of deaths to it, and it will be mostly children.

You spelled "and" wrong. 3 times.
