Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Measles causes more than an acute illness: it suppresses immune memory and increases the risk of complications for years. Even in a typical case of measles, children who survive the infection recover slowly. The rash fades and peels away, but the immune amnesia means they
