The measles outbreak is getting worse with a few deaths

Apparently it started with unvaccinated children, it's because of anti vaxxers that these diseases are coming back. I don't know about anyone else but I'd feel terrible if I was directly responsible for my kid dying because of a weird anti science political stance. Crazy how these parents have no shame.

"We’re still in free-fall,” Dr. Peter Hotez, co-director of the Texas Children’s Hospital Center for Vaccine Development, told USA TODAY. “[The outbreak] still has a lot of energy and steam behind it. And that energy and steam are all the unvaccinated kids.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), many falsely assume that measles is a harmless disease causing a minor rash and fever. However, it often causes far more serious health complications like pneumonia and encephalitis, sometimes even leading to death.

@LordShadowfire I hope they vaccinate the unvaccinated against the parents wishes. I don't really care, it's kind of disgusting to do that to kids knowing they should have had their shots. I'm honestly not sure if I got a TB shot I dunno if they do that to kids but if we did all get it when we were younger that's probably where the TB outbreaks are from too.

I thought it may be raw milk but if we have a high amount of people unvaccinated it's only logical that the diseases come back. They don't really die that's why we need vaccines.
