With 555 total cases, 2019 now has the second-highest number of measles cases in the United States in 25 years -- and the year isn't even half over. "I'm obviously very concerned about the size and also acceleration of the current outbreak," said Dr. Nancy Messonier, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases."This is not going to stop on its own."Anti-vaxers are winning the war on social media.
Health officials there announced last week that in the neighborhoods affected by the outbreak, anyone who has not had been vaccinated against measles or cannot show evidence of immunity could face a $1,000 fine. Health officials in Rockland County, New York, tried to bar unvaccinated children from public places, but a judge prohibited the county from enforcing that rule. Messonier said it's a matter of"correcting myths" about vaccination.
health Vaccination is important, do not spread propagandas about them
:-)
In 2014 there were more reported cases...so why the huge hype now? I guess BIG PHARMA must have had some low profits and needs some more money so we hype it up!! Hurry up sheep go pump yourselves with poison.
Not the measles!!!!!!!! Here’s what we thought of measles a generation or so back. Today it would show the family slowly dying an agonizing death!
Vaccine injury compensation still looks higher..
We need more healing crystals and essential oils!

That looks like the rash my friends son had after taking the shot! Interesting
There are antivax factions within the LDS community.
This is due to the immigration of Venezuelans, where the sarapion was not eradicated.
LuvMacyIsabella Vaccinate Please!!!
I think people should get checked anyway. Long story short - I was vaccinated as a child, needed my shot records, my mom couldn’t find them so I got an MMR titer done and JUST found out I’ve lost the antibodies to one of the three. I am getting the shot ASAP. This terrifies me.
Schools, kid’s sports and anywhere kids meet must must insure that all children are vaccinated by policy. Sorry to the kids but this is due to irresponsible parents
Really?
It is because of ample fast food consumption u know. Try to take bitter food. Green tea is the best.
Gee, I wonder how we can fix this NOW instead of seeing 'The Highest' in 2 3 years.
It isnt because a couple uneducated parents decide not to get the vaccine.If they came in contact the unvaccinated couple of kids may get the measles,etc. ,but if you're kid is vaccinated they shouldn't get the measles even if they plat all year with them.That's the whole...
No fatalities have been reported in the US from measles this year or last year and now these individuals have lifetime immunity and less probability of developing cancer and autoimmune disorders. Unfortunately, developing countries should be more concerned
I got measles vaccine just in case last year after asking my parents if I got it in my childhood.
I think the immigrants coming from Central America of bringing measles here. These poor countries don't have access to medical Care that will allow them to get vaccinated.
Idiots
How do kids get into schools without shots?
Get your children/family vaccinated Please be a responsible civilian HerdImmunity™ IS a 'REAL' thing...:
I think these measles are coming from the new immigrants that are coming over the border. I don't think they have inoculations there.
Shout out to disinformation campaign waged by anti vaxx celebrity JennyMcCarthy.
Dumb parents!! Glad I’m from a generation of smart ones!!!
I feel bad for their kids who don't get to choose. Instead their uninformed and uneducated parents who believe celebrities over actual science have signed their death warrants by refusing to vaccibate. Vaccines and herd immunity works people. Stop killing your kids with ignorance
If I would ever ever find out my infant got measles due to an unvaccinated child, I would sue the hell out of those selfish ignorant people. Consider yourself warned. You anti vaccine people are terrified of gluten but couldn’t care less about smallpox?
These few parents that started the outbreak need to be arrested and sued for being heartless and unconcerned
Thank to the Anti-Vax Fools.
People banking on “herd” immunity. Then not vaccinating their littles. Just what they deserve. Another case where the millennials cannot learn from past tragedies.
25 years anniversary bill Clinton was involved to stop genocide against Tutsi
liberals
Regressing
open borders = millions of unvaccinated people? BuildTheWall
I don’t understand, how this could happen. 🤔
But remember the noble wisdom of our Stable Genius who has the (self-described) 'natural instinct for science': Trump on VACCINES: “Massive combined inoculations to small children is the cause for big increase in autism”
Dis oyinbo people self, use ogogoro and black soap (drink and rub on ur body) after 3 days u will be fine. Vaccine ko vaccine ni
And if those stats aren't the best reason to be vaccinated-I don't know what is-
It’s the science cherry pickers! Back to the leeches, firesmoke talismans.
Illegal
Parents and vaccinations equals outbreak
i wasn't myself for over a week when this virus caught up with me early last month..... but thank God i later got a cure!
IllegalImmigration
Where are the anti-Vaxxers lately? Haven’t heard much from them recently...hmmmmm🤔🤔🤔
These people with unvaccinated children should live in a city of their own
Thank you Facebook for spreading this stupidity.
Illegal immigrants bringing it? Fun fact: legal immigrants are required to be vaccinated.
Just don’t vaccinate whatever you do.
Anti-vaxxers should be confined to home.
Terrifying, hope the health department is doing enough to curb it before it is menace. Time is ripe for govt to show what they are elected for by the people.
All these people choosing to get measles.... maybe they will learn from their mistake and tell their friends to get vaccinated? It's like the middle ages where people didn't wash their hands in hospitals and now washing is mandatory.....
how reliable are these vaccines? My daughter rcvd all MMR and still got mumps - she couldn’t leave hospital with her newborn w/out new shot as her bloodwork said she never had it when I have records says she did
All the idiots that haven't immunized their children is why.
Only the anti vaxxers, then should get the measles, if the vaccine is so effective, correct? I notice there is no mention of illegal aliens spreading disease? Why is that? BP has reported dealing with measles, mumps, TB, & other nasty diseases.
Has CNN found a way to blame this on the Trump administration yet?
Because Jenny McCarthy...

Thanks, anti vaxxers. FDA can we box these dipshits up and desert them at sea?
I don’t understand how people think they are protecting there children by not getting vaccinations, while there putting there children and everybody else in so much danger 🤯
Do u think there is a connection between.. huge number if illegals with an out break of a disease that was pretty much gone since 2000? I do. Many hv been in quarantine with the measles and many hv crossed illegally and got away from authorities into our country.
Vaccinate your damn kids, people.
My family are all military, fully vaccinated. I guess we'll find out now if those work. If any of us get them though, we'll sue the pharmaceutical company that profited.
I hope those people are proud of themselves.
Gee, I wonder who brought the measles back into our country?
Blame JennyMcCarthy
Yet another disease that originated in the continent of Europe brought here by the invaders in the 16th and 17th centuries. Guns didn’t kill the indigenous population of the Americas, it was these pox diseases that festered across the pond.
Measles can disfigure and kill. Idiot antivaxxers and misguided Libertarians have caused this plague. Every state needs to have and enforce laws that require children have certain vaccines before they attend any school on the basis of public safety.
If only there was a vaccine to prevent this
Vaccinate your children!
why is this even an argument
If y'all don't vaccinate your damn kids!!
Good work anti-vaxers. Show us how right you are
davidicke
This is a national emergency! With resources being used to fight something that will actually harm people or kill them. But there is no political value to Trump or the GOP so it really isn’t an issue I to them I guess.
Declares state of emergency in both Canada and us and vaccinate every single person that needs it mandatory vaccinations martial law must be placed in order for this people are too stupid to help themselves you must force it on them
This FakeNews story has been paid for by your friends at Merck. Give us your money! Vote for Bernie so we can take the money right out of your paycheck!
Dumicrats keep bringing them in and guess what the problems come on with them BUILD TH WALL BEFORE IT'S TO LATE
Frankly, I suggest anyone who doesn't vaccinate their child with the MMR and the HPV vaccines should be assessed for child abuse. Ask anyone with white hair the damage measles can do: talk to women suffering cervical cancer. Think about where Fake News originates?
God saves us
coupe_karen
better to develop antibodies via contraction or have the virus directly introduced into body via a needle?
Measles can cause irreversible Epilepsy. Good going anti Vaxers
Thanks Jenny McCarthy!
Thinning the heard
Jail anti-vaxers.
Make vaccination mandatory
Congratulations Anti-Vaxxers !! You did it !
I am certain that 3rd world unvaccinated invaders did not bring this disease back into our nation. Nah.
It's not a puzzle, get the measles vaccine.
Imagine bringing back an otherwise eradicated disease to “own the libs”
Finish the wall!!!!
Fun fact. The US CDC considered this disease extinct in 2000, thanks a lot assholes!
And Trump’s comments against vaccination adds to the nightmare
If only there was something that could prevent this.
