[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least 20 students at Ave Maria University in Collier County have confirmed measles infections and there are still 14 cases pending testing, according to a local clinic. In a health alert posted on its website, Ava Maria said that five students presented with rash since last Friday and are being quarantined

Ave Maria University is a highly conservative, Catholic institution in Florida known for its traditional, faith-based, and non-coed-dormitory environment, often cited as one of the most conservative colleges in the US. It promotes a conservative Catholic worldview, with a large majority of students holding conservative political views.

Measles also causes severe effects in pregnant women, potentially causing them to miscarry. "pro life" my butt. [/quote]
This university press release is very reckless. https://www.avemaria.edu/campus-health-update
Since the start of the semester, 49 nurse-assessed students have progressed beyond the contagious period[b] and now have natural immunity[/b]
There is nothing in this press that even suggests that people should get the MMR vaccine. Maybe some of the parents will sue the university for endangering students health.

And probably have lost immunity to multiple other diseases.

Michael Mina explains “immune amnesia” and the lasting impact of infection.

[quote]The measles outbreak in Texas, which has now spread to New Mexico, has infected mainly unvaccinated children. Of 159 cases, all but five were in unvaccinated individuals. One child has died. Cases have also been reported in six other states, including New York, New Jersey, and California. [b]What has not been widely reported is what comes next for those who become infected: “exceptionally high rates of co-infections and hospitalizations for bacterial pneumonias and related conditions,”[/b] reports Michael Mina, a former assistant professor of immunology and infectious diseases at Harvard Medical School and of epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. This heightened vulnerability to other infections and diseases is particularly pronounced during the first two months following recovery. Although this corollary impact of measles has been known for years, it was thought to be caused by short-lived immune suppression—a temporary disabling of the ordinary immune response.

Between 2015 and 2019, however, [b]Mina’s research proved that measles causes immune amnesia—when the immune system forgets how to fight off infections it successfully dealt with before—and showed that this effect lasts for years, not weeks or months. This leaves patients profoundly vulnerable to pathogens they have previously been vaccinated against or exposed to, and to which they would ordinarily be immune.[/b]
...
Mina’s first paper on the subject, an epidemiological study published in Science in 2015, used a large dataset of health information to reveal that [b]children infected with measles continued to die at increased rates for years.[/b] [/quote]

You absolute knob.
