Only on the Rational Planet. On Planet Rant, we are never safe.

You could have a miscarriage or your baby could end up with multiple birth defects and developmental problems. Congenital rubella syndrome, or CRS, is the name given to the pattern of problems caused when a baby is born with the virus.

I hate that people refuse this vaccination! This disease used to be pratically erradicated in the US and now all these crunchy people have allowed it to pop in clusters all over the US. Dumb.dumb.dumb.

OMG, measles and rubella are not the same disease. They are vaccinated against in the same shot. Yes, no wonder a gifted school was on the list; sounds like no one on your side of the argument will be enrolling any kids there any time soon....

I don't think they stated in the article but the original case in this area was a child who HAD been vaccinated...

Measles used to be common place. Now there is one case and people get hysterical. That's progress.

Yes you are right, it was commonplace for children to die from measles.

Yeah, why aren't people content to die from vaccine-preventable illnesses anymore? And how about all these people wanting surgery and antibiotics for illnesses people used to die from all the time? God, what DRAMA QUEENS. Just shut up and stop complaining about how irresponsible it is to let people die from this stuff, jerks!

Not according to Fairfax hospital. Specifically stated that it was an unvaccinated person.

The way we make sure it does not become commonplace is to take each case extremely seriously.

450 a year dead and a hundred thousand with lasting complications each year. Enough for most people.
