Measles on the rise in the USA Stupityvaccine

Measles, one of the most communicable of all infectious diseases, is spiking in the United States, with three times as many cases as usual this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. The spike is due to both foreign importations — infected travelers coming from places where measles is not under control — and local vulnerability: unvaccinated children and adults in the United States.

The irrational fear and ignorance of vaccines has caused untold suffering and even death. These anti-vaccine nuts have NO evidence that vaccines are harmful. None, nada, zilch! They are basing their fears on unsubstantiated rumors and conspiracy theory websites instead of commonsense and science. When their children die or become handicapped because they refused the polio vaccine, the blood is on THEIR hands. I have no patience with idiots. Thanks to stupid people, diseases we had under control are making a comeback. It's lunacy!

the same problem will arise in the UK at some point as people have been scared witless by unfounded stories of problems with the MMR vaccine. people do not let their kids have it and then they go on to catch mumps, measles or rubella. this has been rumbling on for years in the UK.

I absolutely agree Lurker, the rise in cases is completely avoidable and as Cantankerous states it's the same in the UK  No
