The state’s 2017 count is the highest number of mumps cases for a single year in more than a decade,
though infections have risen steadily in recent years, with 10 cases in 2015 and 16 cases in 2016.
High vaccination rates for mumps help limit outbreaks, but even those who are vaccinated can still get the virus, the CDC says.
The agency recommends children get two doses of MMR vaccine, which provides 88 percent protection against mumps.(Emphasis mine)

Trump rhymes with mumps sort of, probably his fault.

Hey! Modern medicine!
How’s about we finally get smart about viruses! Maybe actually cure something?! At least come up with a vaccine that has no hint of long term deleterious effects so the hand wringers won’t abstain and allow these “anomalies”
Here’s a hint, get the government and government regulated insurance companies out or your business! AND STOP CHANGING THE OATH! Last change did nothing but cave to the lgbtxy711 crowd!

Every time I go into the big mall in Tampa I see more and more full burkas. Last time (two weeks ago) I saw at least 3 groups of women with burkas. The time before that it was only 1. The time before that it was none. Same at Busch Gardens, Costco, etc.
