8. My uncle had German Measles and ended up

criminally-inclined mentally retarded for the rest of his life. I used that word "retarded" on purpose, not to be divisive in this thread. Although most mentally challenged individuals are not violent or criminally inclined, the measles did leave my uncle that way. He was in a mental hospital for the criminally inclined until Reagan turned out all the patients. Magas are gonna re-learn a lot of things that their parents knew, and evidently didn't pass on to the kids. It's going to be painful learning, I assume. But that assumption is based on magas loving their kids like we love ours -- but not getting them vaccinated makes one wonder...
