Amtrak is bringing back memories of movies like “The Cassandra Crossing” or even ABC’s “Bird Flu in America” with a warning that passengers on a recent train from Boston to Virginia could have been exposed to measles.
Anyone who was vaccinated should be all right. I had the measles myself just before age 7 in 1950; I came down with it while on a family vacation in Ocean City, MD. Could measles explain some of the physical developmental difficulties that I would experience later? It’s possible, but that calls for a close examination that would be out of reach – maybe my old NIH records would turn something up.
