The following article pertains to the measles pathogen. Furthermore, this article should not be construed as medical advice and should not be treated as such. Please consult a medical professional if you have any questions about this or any other infection.
We are still dealing with the effects of the Covid-19 virus and in some cases the reaction to it.
