The Rules

...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I got an MMR vaccine at 40 for a job, and only had to because my records from small town Canada weren’t available from my childhood vaccinations.

Crazy to me that it might actually matter.

I know I had at least one shot as a baby/child/whenever it was appropriate in the 70's. Then the Air Force gave me the MMR vax before deploying in the '00s just for good measure. Much appreciated now.
