On Tuesday, eight children (and two adults) were confirmed with measles. All had “exemptions” from the MMR vaccine.
By yesterday, a total of 18 children had contracted measles. As the children were attending school, many other unvaccinated children have been exposed and the actual number cannot be determined because the health records are not completed.
Measles is one of the most contagious diseases which, until recently, was mostly kept in check by the availability of the safe MMR vaccine.
Now, we can’t exactly pin this on “Junior” since he had no direct role in the children getting those exemptions, but this highlights the absurdity of appointing him to that position.
