Measles, mumps and rubella vaccines. By Lena H. Sun Lena H. Sun National reporter focusing on health Email Bio Follow April 22 at 10:00 AM The United States is on track to surpass the record number of measles cases in a single year since the disease was declared eliminated in 2000, according to figures reported Monday.
Health officials said they expect 2019′s case counts to jump in the coming weeks because of increased disease spread during Easter and Passover gatherings. Officials in New York City, location of the largest outbreak in the country, are especially worried. At least 303 cases have been reported this year, virtually all in Brooklyn. New York City Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot said she is bracing for an increase.
The majority of people who were sickened were unvaccinated, officials said. The outbreaks are linked to travelers who brought measles back from countries such as Israel, Ukraine and the Philippines, where large measles outbreaks are occurring. The disease is spreading in communities where many people have not been vaccinated against the disease, which can cause serious complications among all age groups, especially young children, adults with weakened immune systems and the very elderly.
we should just let anti-vaxxers form their own quarantined community
Anti-vaxxers who do not vaccinate should have their children removed at once This is neglect & abuse at the most elemental level Based on ONE fake study & thoroughly discredited, these fools put their kid's lives at risk You need a license to fish-Sadly, any asshole be a parent!
sadly, there's no vaccine for stupidity and it's sadly apparent there's far too much of it in America based on the comments to this tweet. Vaccines don't cause autism. Don't be so stupid as to believe a Playboy playmate and a quack doctor.
100,000 unvaccinated migrants coming into the country!
What do you get with mass illegal influx + anti Vaxers?
THANK YOU DEMOCRATS! Criminal illegal aliens enter our country infected with unknown communicable diseases and infect citizens here who are too stupid to vaccinate their children! It’s time to IMPEACH those who enable criminal illegal aliens entry into America!
The only cure is a vaccination campaign...
Thanks JennyMcCarthy and former doctor Andrew Wakefield. It's your ill-founded fear of vaccinations and shameless promotion of poor ideas that causes this kind of shit to happen.
Imagine a similar polio outbreak.
I am not a qualified doctor, but I will give you some very sound medical advice, DONT take medical advice from friends and family or the internet, please go see a qualified Doctor.
Democrats paving the way for millions and millions of illegal aliens to enter America unvaccinated. Tuberculosis, chicken pox hepatitis. Democrats evil trying to take over America from the inside, via disease and elected congress Omar, OSA, Taliab
Of course big pharmacy has nothing to do with influencing Democrats forcing medication on society.
This happens when you let thousands of unvaccintaed migrants into the country.
Russia started this anti-vaccine propaganda. War 101, you can kill more people with disease than you can with war.
US scrambles to contain stupidity it's viral and contagious
Where are all these wiped out diseases ( in the US) coming from?
anti vax parents coming into the comments to brag about how much danger they put their kids in
people would take that message more seriously if it wasn’t using Comic Sans.
