At least nine people – including two unvaccinated Riverside County siblings – contracted measles after visiting Disneyland Resort in mid-December, state health officials said Wednesday. Public health officials are also investigating three additional cases of suspected measles, which is highly contagious, and a spokesman with the department said it would not be surprising to see more cases. All 12 reported visiting Disneyland or Disney California Adventure between Dec. 15 and Dec. 20. {snip} Of the nine confirmed cases linked to Disneyland, only one was vaccinated, according to the state Department of Public Health.

“Measles is so contagious that if one person has it, 90 percent of the people close to that person who are not immune will also become infected," according to the CDC. However, according to Barbara Cole, Riverside County Health Dept, parents can opt-out of school requirements for measles vaccination.

Patient Zero is yet to be identified.

Aside from a few home grown idiots who listen to celebrities, perhaps you may have heard of Lord Fouls imports from south of the border.

Some of the children were too young (under age 1) to receive the vaccine.

All of the children will be okay. And I suppose they all won’t need the vaccine now...

There just telling us it’s Measles...

It’s likely a flesh eating bio weapon released at the happiest place on earth.

Next they’ll tell us there were Muslims on the Matterhorn using super soakers spraying that crap everywhere.

just found a follow-on story at Desert Sun that says the two Riverside County siblings that visited DisneyLand also visited a mall in El Cajon several days later where they rode the mall’s carousel during their four-hour shopping trip.

The sad thing is there is is a pretty vocal anti-vaccine group here at Free Republic. I think it is what happens when you take a healthy skepticism of government requirements, and mix it with a little mental illness.

It’s not just leftists! If they are not going to vaccinate, at least keep them away from huge crowds.
