This looks like it should either be Steve Martin's next album cover or the plot of a skit the next time he hosts SNL.

‘Dueling Banjos’A silly thing I painted 11 years ago and apparently haven’t posted here before -
PSA: I’m turning 55 next month, and there’s an issue with people who got vaccinated for measles around the same time I did as a kid having waning immunity.I'm a young-ish Gen-Xer and found the same last year when I asked my doc for titer tests on a hunch. I wanted to make sure I could get fully vaccinated before RFK Jr. screwed things up too much.
The reason this is an issue is that up until roughly the 1990s, the childhood MMR vaccine in the US was a single dose. That seemed to be fine, but an outbreak in 1989 revealed that the single dose was inadequate. They subsequently changed the protocol to two doses for children, but never urged older generations to go back for a booster. This hadn't been a serious issue until recently, when coddling of anti-vaxxers destroyed herd immunity and created the conditions for the regional outbreaks we're dealing with now.
