In the US? A search suggests there hasn’t been a case here since 1979. I do see that our kindergarten vaccine coverage rate has dropped slightly from 95% in 2019 to 92.5% in 2025.

Sales kids keep suggesting them while standing in the shade of my oak tree that drops what I can most accurately describe as metric tons of leaves every fall, and equal volumes of pollen every spring.

Do you have any other suggestions for stuff that’s much better if it’s home grown? I’m going to build a small garden soon. The only other thing already on my list is some greens and maybe bell peppers, but that was a nostalgia request from my partner.

Edit: All these suggestions have changed my planned garden from 8x4 to 8x16. The missus will be pleased.

Search used to be so good. I had an old Honda civic that suddenly wouldn’t start. It wasn’t the starter, alternator, or battery. I managed to find a forum post with my exact issue, which was that a small rubber piece on the clutch pressed a button to “tell” the starter it was okay to start. Twenty minutes later I had zip tied a piece of plastic into place and had a working car again.

If I tried to diagnose that same issue today, it’d be dozens of SEO garbage slop sites without any actual useful information.
