"Terrible reporting? This entire story stinks. The woman had other health issues AND was on immunosuppressant medications that resulted in pneumonia, but any chance to stoke the measles fear mongering angle.
Another victim of Wakefield.
Two contributors:
1. Young idiots who refuse vaccinations.
2. An unlimited supply of illegal aliens from Mexico, many of whom are active carriers of tuberculosis, measles, and, you name it!
Perhaps this woman, who was on immunosuppressive therapy, picked up measles from one of the 5% of people for whom the vaccine doesn’t work. 5% of 250 million is a lot of people. Perhaps the person who passed on the measles to this woman could not vaccinate for other medical reasons. But people will automatically blame those who, for their own reason, have chosen not to vaccinate. Perhaps the person who passed on the measles to this woman was an illegal and had not been vaccinated. Perhaps the person who passed on the measles to this woman was vaccinated when young, and didn’t know that immunity from vaccines can and does wear off as we get older. The WHOLE story would be nice before everyone decides how this poor woman got measles and potentially places blame where it does not belong.
How is Obama screening the illegals pouring over the border for diseases like measles? Oh, he’s not. Then why do fundamentalists who don’t believe in vaccinations always get the wrap when these diseases crop up?
Another Obama achievement.
