Measles cases were ELIMINATED in the US in the year 2000. This new outbreak is the result of ignorance and selfishness. ZERO organized religions are against vaccination, so if your priest, rabbi, imam, etc, tells you that you can’t vaccinate your children, find a new religious leader. Ultra-conservatives, of whatever sects, are just “making up” their own rules. “Personal choice” is why we now have the reemergence of this deadly disease. We are not YET a war-torn country (which is why measles proliferate in certain places). Why do we allow the ignorance of a few to affect the children of us all?
