Welcome Back, Measles
 

Measles May Be in U.S. to Stay, 15 Years After It Left - Businessweek

I wonder which other diseases, that we conquered after decades of effort, will return?

Any of the ones that the anti-vaxer crowd brings back because they are too stupid to realize how we got rid of them in the first place.

The rest of them come across the southern border.

No prob, between the sanctuary cities and the free emergency rooms, the issue will be solved eventually.

Karma is a *****. California has a lot of Karma floating around.

Exactly, California has more illegal immigrants than all other states combined, these people weren't vaccinated when they got here and still aren't.

Am I to understand from this that you guys pay out of pocket for vaccinations?

That's pretty surprising to me. Admittedly, I don't know how much vaccinations like his cost. However, many of them aren't nearly 100% effective, with the remainder of its effectiveness generated by it's prevalence of use. It's in everybody's best interest to ensure that the neighbour's kid is also vaccinated!

This.

This.

Small potatoes compared to the millions of illegals bring disease into the country as we speak.

oh chit!!! i hope we didnt break down all those ebola tents yet.

But, if you're vaccinated, you're good to go, right? What are you trying to say? Illegals aren't spreading measles to people vaccinated from measles.

This measles outbreak isn't about the illegals - it's about the anti-vaxxers.

Actually, the anti-vaccination trend tends to center around very affluent neighborhoods where the parents are educated, oddly enough. It is not at all centered on poor or immigrant communities although immunization rates in those communities sometimes are lower than the norm due to inadequate access (or the perception of it) to healthcare.

Not vaccinating is a hipster thing. We know a few people that are like that.

They aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer.

The logic is that "Gee, no one gets measles or polio these days, therefore vaccinations are useless things only pushed on us by heartless money-grubbing pharmacetical/war machine conglomerates."

I'd say in many cases the fathers are educated, but the trophy wives are not so much. At least, I assume the trophy wives are not. If they were, they probably wouldn't be going to Jenny McCarthy for medical advice.

Actually, yeah, this has a lot to do with people coming into the country without any screening whatsoever, sorry Mike.

Any kid in this country could get childhood vaccinations for free.

ahhh, you've seen I am Legend right ;)

there is simply no way to know who is coming over the border or what they are bringing with them. dimwit pacific palisades trophy wives hire gautemalan nannies and then act stunned when little britney gets polio.

no one cause, but a perfect storm of stupidity.

Read the article. Over half the cases were in the Amish community. So it must be Dimwit Amish trophy wives hiring diseased wetbacks to watch little Hester while she straps the Louis Vuiton harness on the horse.

The Amish were in Disneyland, Anaheim, who knew. more like Mexican kids without vaccinations. Look at maps for measles right now, Mexico, California, Texas, Arizona are the hot spots. No illegals there

The level of bigotry and racism on this board never ceases to amaze me. LMAO.

If only they could develop a vaccine for that.....sigh.
