Or multiple personality disorder (MPD), now referred to as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Schizophrenia is more of a split from reality, the original sense of the term, and this confusion with DID was a common misconception of the term's original intended meaning.

to people who have mental health issues. People with DID are not evil and don't usually have evil alters.

Oh! The state is providing free MMR vaccines. Well good.

When will they ever understand that their liberties don't include the right to endanger other people's lives. Sometimes you just have to enforce good sense. Their "liberties" be damned.

I do find it appalling that children are even allowed to attend school without being vaccinated, but one must remember that South Carolina is not a majority of golf courses, vacation spots, and rich people on the coast, but a very poor, somewhat lacking in great lower and middle education… upper education, yes Clemson, UofSC, Citadel, etc. Very red and following Das Führer, and his pack of rabid dogs.

Ps… us retired folks who live in the vacation spots of SC pay a ton of taxes toward healthcare and education.

I'm glad they're taking these measures, but if they were all maga and maha, they'd be telling the children to come to school and throw measles parties in their off hours.

i wonder how many children will have to die from measles before they get their heads out of their asses. I fear it will be many, though even one (and more have already) is too many for a disease we had nearly eradicated.

In 2024, before pedo Trump was put in as president, the US had 16 outbreaks of measles. So far, in 2025 the US has had 43 outbreaks.......so far. And that's based on the now corrupted CDC numbers... it's probably much worse.
