It wasn’t just at Disney. I seem to remember that a lot of these people were spread out over the country and that certain places experienced measles outbreaks and I thought a couple of kids had died.
The only recent ‘measles death’ was the woman who was severaly immunocompromised, on immune suppressants for some sort of medical condition, and apparently contracted measles in the hospital or clinic. It wasn’t immediately obvious she had measles when she died. I’m not aware if any information about the strain of measles she had has been released.
Read the article here:
Those of us who didn’t have measles will be getting another measles booster (mmr, no single measles vaccine is available) sooner rather than later. And likely those who did actually have measles as well if they don’t have any antibodies in a titer.
I’m surprised everyone thinks this is about the children’s schedule. 90% of kids have had every single shot on the schedule and on time too. This whole ‘mandating’ argument is to get people up to speed on the idea that adults need to be up to date on whatever is on ‘the schedule’ for them as well. Or be unable to work or possibly even visit an MD for a checkup. One of the reasons big pharma was so in love with obamacare is the potential for government to mandate vaccines and other medications. Roll up your sleeve now, save time later, there are 200+ vaccines in the pipeline.
