One of the children who contracted measles was a baby who was still too young to be vaccinated. So sad.

South Florida schools require being vaccinated to attend.

I agree with you but do we know yet why this particular child wasn't vaccinated? The child could have been a new immigrant without access to free vaccines (or the mom was unaware of how to access them). Or the child could have been unable to get vaccines due to being immunocompromised. If either of those conditions apply, I can't place blame on the parents. But I can place blame on parents who don't vaccinate by choice thereby leaving other children vulnerable due to low herd immunity.

My thought as well. We don't know circumstances.

So killing living breathing child ok.
Getting medical care so you don't die as a woman..or making a medical decision for yourself.illegal.


What if as a 17 year old my mother demands they give me an abortion. Is that okay?. Parents rights?

Okay so cool. We won't punish these parents, but we will punish women for leaving the state to get medical care?

Uh, yes, in the United States, it was nonexistent.

Morons.

Wasn't RFK or whatever crazy antivax idiot group out there also posting that measles had positive benefits?

America is so dumb now.

God, this makes me so angry. I know people like this and they always claim as long as you are “natural” and get sunshine and eat healthy and breastfeed, you won’t get sick.

I studied biological anthropology and 50% of hunter gatherers children die before the age of 5. 67% of those deaths are from diseases. The norm for humans is for most children to die of disease. That’s why we have modern medicine.

The only sympathy I have is mostly for kids too young to vax. Otherwise, all of the morons refusing to vax get what they deserve. From an evolutionary perspective, it may be positive, because it is nature's way of killing off dumb people.

Go read up on subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. Basically, you can get measles if you're unvaxxed and can be asymptomatic. It can hide in your brain for 20+ years, then all of the sudden it attacks your nervous system. There are no cures, and you just die.

This is the risk idiot parents sign their kids up for when they choose not to vax. America is so stupid. I'm so done with it. Let them all die.

God that is sad. It makes me want to cry for that poor child who was failed so badly.

Oh they’re quarantining people?! Do tell RFK. 🤔

Like always, I feel terrible for the kids that suffer their irresponsible parents. I genuinely don't care when MAGA adults FAFO, but I do care that their kids are made to.

Seriously, do not get your information about measles from rfk Jr. Too bad if he's some Trump administration So-Called health hotshot. This person does not have any respect for measles. Ignore him and go to see your doctor for your information.

They did, associated with schools with poor vaccination rates (Mennonite community) and 124 infected so far, 18 hospitalized, mostly children. Numbers increase every day; measles is one of the most contagious viruses known of.
