I hope this does not balloon into an epidemic.

Thousands of San Francisco Bay Area residents may have been exposed to measles last week when an unvaccinated student at the Unversity of California, Berkeley, attended classes and rode the area's BART transit system.

Dear Lord, what does being unvaccinated have to do with anything other than this student's potential ability to avoid measles - maybe. Do people think that just because some percentage of the population is vaccinated, that the measles virus doesn't exist around us?

This is sheer scare tactics based on raw ignorance as an advertisement for vaccination. It's absurd.

i hope it does because all of the effing people who dint get the shot would effing DIE

Ok...so let’s follow the logic. Why are vaccinated people worried?

[ltc8k6]

Are the illegal aliens vaccinated?

I don't know anyone that didn't have the measles, chicken pox, and the mumps!

That was part of growing up.

The only thing I didn't like was the 2 week quarantine!

Measles is vicious, I know someone whose kid died from it.

A great number of California granola crunchers are avoiding vaccination and endangering everyone else when they traipse off around the world, and then pick up the disease.

Everyone I knew growing up got the measles.

Most of us are still alive.

Do vaccines protect you or not? If they do this a non-story. If they don’t then why get them?

Don’t forget...... it’s San Francisco. Maybe it will reduce the surplus democrat wacko population

Measles and chicken pox are the two most highly contagious respiratory route viruses I know of, and measles in adults is VERY bad news.

I caught measles from a patient when I was 28 and I was out of work for 3 months.

Not being immunized (for measles) is absurd.

In 1966, just out of USMC Boot Camp, I drew a couple of weeks of Mess Duty before my additional schooling was to begin....I ended up being 'salad man', which meant I'd roll up my sleeves and mix up huge tubs of salad mixings....

In the middle of this, I ended up at the Camp Pendleton isolation ward with Rubella - I never heard, but I'll bet I really contributed to something...
