There was a report tonight about a case in a PG county school, Oxon Hill I think. Not sure if that’s new.

Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS) has confirmed that someone at John Hanson Montessori School tested positive for measles.

1 or 2 being infected over weeks is not an outbreak.

I couldn't believe the parents of that kid who died claimed it wasn't that bad. Did they love their kid at all?

So you really think the measles outbreaks in Texas are from anti-vaxxers? Why is the truth about these outbreaks so underreported?

And how are these diseases entering our country? That had basically eradicated them?

All cases of Maryland are from international travel and one would have to assume that statistically these are unvaccinated persons since the risk of when you're vaccinated getting measles is 3 in 100?

Here's the thing repeatedly people are saying all kids who go to public schools have vaccinations and the truth of the matter is no they do not and the school cannot confirm or deny that there are children with vaccine exemptions in the school however the superintendent when he informed us parents about the positive measles case indicated that any student or staff member who was not vaccinated against measles would be unable to return to work or school for 21 days past the last confirmed case
Ergo there are unvaccinated students and staff at that f****** school. Just like there are at every school in Maryland. And if you look at the list of the places that the positive for measles people were they were all over the DC Metro region for the past 2 weeks. They were in the airport they were in Kaiser Permanente they were at the Metro I think and one would assume that the positive cases include someone at John Hanson that those are the overlap so they were also out of school with other unvaccinated children or staff.
This is why vaccinations are so important and I hope it doesn't keep going but when you allow exemptions for quote unquote religious reasons and we have a supreme court that is so gung-ho on religious freedom no doctor if the patient says I don't want my vaccinations is not going to sign off on it.

Get ready for kids to die in mass not only from vaccinations.
Get ready for mass child abuse as well.
Kids working in factories to help their families.
Get ready for everything that was good to be gone.

Good point re: child abuse. As families become emotionally and financially stressed, their resources will be challenged and likely to impact their kinds in multiple ways.

It is not a lack of love. Their religious beliefs do not permit them to think of themselves or their kids as individuals whose lives on this Earth are of primary concern. Obeying the rules set by the group is how they maintain their relationship with God; this forestalls independent thought.

The Texas outbreak began in a Mennonite community that does not vaccinate. The parents of the child who died have given more than one interview, to reporters, saying they do not use the MMR vaccine. “The vaccination has stuff we don’t trust.”

Did they do away with that local law due to the flood of illegal immigrants who have no vaccination records?



Yes.

Up until 2020, VA requirements were not aligned with the CDC vaccine schedule. They had a shorter list and an older age ranges in some cases.

VA has long published the vax stats from schools who are required to report them to the state. The rates in our area are very high. https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/immunization/sis-reports-2021-present/


According to your data, only 79% of 12th graders in FCPS are fully vaccinated. I wouldn't call that very high.


Could be students don’t get the HPV vax. HPV is a required vaccine but has an exemption that is very simple - parents sign an acknowledgement about the vaccine and the risks of not getting it. A lot of parents opt out of it.



I really can't wrap my head around parents not vaccinating their kids against cancer.

Yes, because they were. Amish/mennonite communities don’t vax and that’s where it originated from.
