New York City Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot on Tuesday warned parents in the city not to hold so-called "measles parties" as officials work to counter an outbreak of the disease.
Barbot warned that some parents have had "measles parties" to have their children infected with the disease in an effort to immunize them naturally, rather than through a vaccination, according to BuzzFeed News.
"We are concerned about families having measles parties," Barbot said at a news conference, according to Fox News.

Liberals.........................Darwinism in action..................
Not as simple as that. In the NYC area Ultra-Orthodox Jews are the ones not vaccinating.
Is he ‘concerned’ that not enough will buy the vaccine for sale if Measles Parties become too popular?
chickenpox parties were popular before the vaccine in 1995
Are they the ones holding the ‘parties’?.............................
Oxiris Barbot?
:: not enough will buy the vaccine ::
I think you mean “the loss of subsidized funding from the Federal government will be devastating to the Sate welfare program.”
ookie-mouth.
And, you know, it's a microaggression to ask her how to spell or pronounce it.
It is also a hate crime to misspell or mispronounce it.
50+ years ago that was common. Parents wanted their children to get those illnesses when the kids were young. One of my uncles got the mumps when he was in his 20’s a had to be hospitalized.
I also contracted the chicken pox from my room mate while in the Army. Got quarantined for 10 days at the base hospital.
Strange thing about that was that the skin on the palms of my hands all peeled off.......
I don't get that at all. I'm Jewish and don't recall seeing anything in the Torah or Talmud about exposing your kids to the risk of preventable disease.
How did so many of us survive our childhoods without the existence of these vaccines?
/s
My father almost died from mumps when I was toddler.
With all the scares of disaster, has any of the children who contacted the measles died? Just asking.
Would you be posting here if you had???
You've heard of internet ghosting haven't you?......Yes, I would.
Then by all means use those superior skills to Freep/Haunt the Clintons, the Obamas, etc.
