The World Health Organization says there has been a 'dramatic resurgence' of measles in Europe fueled partly by vaccine refusals.

The World Health Organization says there has been a “dramatic resurgence” of measles in Europe, with nearly 90,000 people sickened by the virus in the first half of 2019. In a new report issued Thursday, Aug. 29 the U.N. health agency said the number of measles cases from January to June this year is double the number reported for the same period in 2018.

In a report issued Thursday, the U.N. health agency said the number of measles cases from January to June this year is double the number reported for the same period in 2018. Measles is among the world’s most infectious diseases and is spread mostly by coughing, sneezing and close personal contact. An expert WHO committee said four countries — Albania, the Czech Republic, Greece and the U.K. — have now lost their status as having eliminated measles. Measles is preventable with two doses of the vaccine, but there is no effective treatment once people are infected.

Nonsense! That stuff is created in western labs with a diabolical game plan.

MFS001 Likely more to do eith illegal migrants flooding in.

A continent where herd immunity existed until vaccine introduced in the 60s, leaving population vulnerable for the greater profit of big pharma, so powerful they control the NHS.

Pharma is not in the business of curing its customers !!! What's the date on those vaccines ? Oh and its all the fault of the people who chose not to vaccinate ? There we were thinking it had been eradicated … 🧙‍♂️Go listen to the GODFATHER !!!

America’s not the place with people this stupid, huh?

Pfft. It's as if you're trying to say vaccines actually work.

Sources say “mass migration from poor countries is the main cause.”

Antivaxxers + third world migration = disaster!

It has nothing to do with the 'refugees ' at all. Don't look behind the curtain

You mean immigration?

Time for Africa to put strong travel requirements on Europe...

That’s BS. The resurgence is due to a broken immigration process. It’s happening in the US too.

Its from all the Immigrants - fools no nothing of history---that our Media for you---imbeciles

'Anti vaxxers'. Aka millions of migrants from the african continent.

This could be better written. It takes the reader far into the story before it is Clearer that the refusal is coming from those getting the vaccinations vs those that may be giving them such as Doctors or Govt providers.

Imagine that.

Couldn't be because of all the new residents from the south that don't have access to good medical care. It's totally the antivaxers fault.

💔In 2017, WHO estimated about 110,000 people died from measles worldwide, mostly children under 5-years-old.

Stupid humans. Polio will be next.

Thoughts and prayers for all the anti-vaxers

Sure and theyre lowering Standard on New Yorks medicals as that shits become a uncontroled plague ! Threats to the Country should have Consequences ! Who the FUCK is in CHARGE here ?! Geez !

Let’s work to bring back smallpox and polio too ! The ignoramuses are working hard to bring us back to the Stone Age.

is-lame, the fake religion of archaic diseases.

Nice hacky reporting
