US measles cases reach highest number in nearly three decades, CDC says

There have been 971 cases of measles reported in the United States this year, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday.

This means 2019, which is not quite half over, now has the greatest number of cases in a single year in nearly three decades. The number of cases in 1994 was 963, which was lower than in 1992 when there were 2,237 cases. "Measles is preventable and the way to end this outbreak is to ensure that all children and adults who can get vaccinated, do get vaccinated. Again, I want to reassure parents that vaccines are safe, they do not cause autism.

In communities with 95% or more of residents who are vaccinated against the virus, herd immunity works. That's when unvaccinated people are protected because so many of those around them are. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases told lawmakers earlier this year that more needs to be done.

WRicciardi The incidence of the measles is 0,000003, much less than the probability of being hit by a meteorite (0,0000006). Why all of this focus on a exanthematous disease?

Thanks anti-vaxxers..but I’m sure those hot urine rubs will do the trick.

Barack Obama - the gift that keeps on giving. Welcome to America, illegal alien invaders.

Thanks to all those illegals coming from central and South America. This is what happens when u let everybody in. Diseases Americans haven't seen in decades

Thanks to the anti-vacine Goeroe's

Whatever
