New York City Parents Held 'Measles Parties' To Infect Unvaccinated Children As Officials Battle An Outbreak

New York City officials declared a public health emergency on Tuesday after almost 300 cases of measles in the city, announcing fines of up to $1000 if people disobey the mandatory vaccination order.

The city saw only two cases of measles in 2017. In 2018, that jumped to 56, with an outbreak beginning in October. So far in 2019, there's been 229 people sick. Nearly 250 people affected in the Brooklyn measles outbreak are children, most of whom had been unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated — after an initial vaccine, a booster is needed a few years later. So far, there has been 21 people hospitalized and five admitted to intensive care.A nurse waiting for patients at the Rockland County Health Department in suburban New York city this April.

"That's no party," said Paul Offit, professor of pediatrics and director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

If only there was a way of stopping a measles outbreak...oh wait...

Not saying this is a good idea but kids were routinely sent to “Billy’s” house if he had measles and you hadn’t yet. Thinking was you could get disease and resultant immunity while stil young when it was safer to get the disease. There was no immunization yet.

One time, at child abuse camp...

that's the way it has been done since the beginning of time, before vaccines showed up 20+ years ago. and what the Amish still do legally today.

Huh?

The measles getting ready to infect everybody

Is everyone nuts?

so I am assuming NOT ONE of these kids at these parties has autism?

We’re prosecuting parents who paid 2 get their kids into college, but it’s ok 4 these people to literally endanger their kids and others? What part of NOT JUST THEIR KIDS BUT OTHER PEOPLES’ KIDS CAN DIE FROM PREVENTABLE CHILDHOOD DISEASES BECAUSE OF THEIR STUPIDITY/SELFISHNESS?!

Please take those children away and never give them back. Thank you

This is called mayhem.

I thought this was an Onion article.

Jesus Christ, some people are stupid. 🤦🏼‍♀️

What does one bring to a Measles Party, casserole? Bean dip?
