A measles outbreak has prompted officials of the Seattle Public Schools to take the drastic action of ordering thousands of students to get vaccinated immediately or risk being barred from returning to classes after the winter break.

“If they come to school, we certainly have a plan in place that if a student comes to school on the 8th and their records aren’t up to date, they’ll just be held aside, their parents or guardian will be contacted,” Robinson said.

From Jan. 1 to Dec. 5, 2019, 1,276 individual cases of measles were confirmed in 31 states, the greatest number of cases reported in the United States since 1992, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There were more cases of the infectious disease this year than there have been in the four years prior combined.

The CDC reported that 124 of the people who contracted measles this year were hospitalized, including 61 who suffered complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis. Just last week, five U.S. airports, including Chicago's busy O'Hare International Airport, had travelers pass through with confirmed cases of measles this month, exposing an unknown number of fellow passengers to the highly infectious disease, according toThis year's measles outbreak was worse from a global standpoint.

Screw school

This is what happens when we didn’t come to our senses to begin with.

KIDO'S TO SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS 4-TAKING A STANCE AGAINST STUPID & IRRESPONSIBLE PARENTS WHO PUT THE REST OF US AND OUR CHILDREN IN DANGER. THANK YOU SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR LIGHTING THE WAY FOR THE REST OF T-AMERICAN PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.

Great work. When I was a kid we didn't have a choice. They just lined us up and away they went.

With world travel so common now, how does anyone know who on the plane has a vaccination for measles?

This is exactly what needs to happen

We are still here!

Hay anti wacky vacs,take your measles blank home and stay their your not wanted in public.

I see a whole lot of my body my choice people on here screaming people should be forced to put chemicals in their bodies. Sit down and STFU. Not your body, not your choice.

The right move to protect everyone

GOOD JOB, SEATTLE!!! I wish everywhere did this. Don't infect the rest because of your ignorance. Home school or vaccinate. That's how it should be.

Why would anyone want to go back to school with that common core crap and get brain damage in the process of getting vaxxed?!?! 💩

GeneforTexas Good.

Has anyone investigated how the balloting and polling are being set up? How secure and legal it will be? I see a bunch of cheatin coming. You?

KnowWhatEyeMeme Good!

GeneforTexas 👍 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Good

The only difference between sending an unvaccinated kid to a public school and mailing anthrax spores is the specificity of the victim.

Good! Vaccinations should be mandatory everywhere. So unnecessary for Measles, or any other disease that was eradicated due to vaccines, to make a comeback. If the anti-Vaxers don’t like it too bad they can stay home...

Research vaccine courts.

Wonder why vaccine courts have paid out 4 billion for vaccine related incidents and deaths. Plus if the vaccine works then why worry about the unvaxed.this is about profit and nothing else. They should stop spreading diseases with vaccines and blaming the victims.

dog owners have to show proof of all vaccinations by law and dog daycares have to keep them on file for 1 year for health Dept inspection in our city Or else they can’t get in. Kids? Not so much...

It didn’t have to come to this. At all. Vaccinate. It should be a goddamn law at this stage.

good!

Vaccine can cause measles...way to think this through

Super. Should have been done before the outbreak but then some parents are too stupid to and think they’re smarter than health officials.

Third World America.

I'm not against vaccinations, but you can't force parents to let the government inject their kids with chemicals they don't approve of. Their rights outweigh your fear. It may be for the greater good now, but this gov't overreach sets a dangerous precedent for the future imo.

Into hibernation underground and wait for the storm leaving.

Good. Parents should face fines as well. Time to put an end to this bs.

But you have a choice. We don’t want to be seen as forcing you to. There’s private school, home schooling, losing custody. You have alternates should you decide to not comply

Good.

Anti vaxxers have become the scourge of the new age.

Voice of reason here between vacc'ers and non-vaccer's. Tried and true Vacc's should NOT be questioned. Measles, Mump, Rubella for example (more in this category). However, newer Vacc's I would be cautious of, until there was some data time to prove no side effects.

Good. The antivaxxers are literally killing people.

They should start fining them. The healthcare costs they are inflicting on others bankrupts people.

Any reports on family court corruption? not going to research?

Better late than never but this should be the standard across the board. Your decision not to vaccinate your child is yours, but you should not be allowed to put others including those who are immune compromised at risk. Vaccines do save lives PERIOD !!

I think non vaxxers should have their OWN schools and places to dwell. Their disbelief in science can be deadly for others.

Well it’s Seattle.....it’s a complete sh$t-hole now.

I wish they would start criminally charging parents who refuse to vaccinate their healthy child. Or at least ban them from procreating again.

That should have been implemented BEFORE school year began.

Good. Anti-vaxxers are a public health risk.

I know drama gets clicks, but this wasn’t drastic immediate action. This is because of a new state law in WAState that passed the legislature nearly a year ago.

'drastic action'? WTF

Good. They're a public health risk

This is the correct action. Antivaxers need to understand that their decision endangers others. They are free to not vaccinate and free to home school their kids. All for this.

This is what happens when you choose not to vaccinate your children
