There are now 51 confirmed cases of the highly contagious virus across California, three other states and Mexico, and the Orange County Health Care Agency said the reports of new cases “indicate the measles outbreak will continue to spread.”

Health officials had hoped to contain the outbreak to Disneyland visitors who were at the park between Dec. 17 and 20, when the virus spread from perhaps a single infected person or an ill family. But Orange County is now reporting six new cases of measles involving people who did not visit the Anaheim attraction during that period. State officials said there were two more such cases in Ventura County and one in Alameda County.

“I love it when a privileged white folk venue like Disney World gets infested with disease./S”

I don’t know about Disney World, but you haven’t been to Disneyland in a while, have you.

I remember a number of years back in line at Snow White there was a beautiful family of four, Mom, Dad, son and daughter who were all tow heads and their Southern accent was dripping sweet.

There was buzz in the line, people talking about them, kids asking their moms where they were from. They were that exotic for Southern California.

“My friend’s son died of it.”

Oh dear, that is terrible. How old was he, and how long ago was this.

I’m old enough that I actually had all these diseases. But the only one I remember is Scarlet Fever, I think that’s the sickest I’ve ever been.

I totally agree.

My question is this: WHEN THE HELL IS THIS GOVT GOING TO INNOCULATE ALL THESE REFUGEES .. SO THE REST OF AMERICA DOES NOT HAVE TO DIE FOR THEM ..???

IF ONE OF MY RELATIVES DIED FROM SUCH AN ATTACK, I WOULD BE FILING SUIT AGAINST THE VARIOUS DEPTS WHO HAVE DONE NOTHING ABOUT PREVENTING THIS; AND AGAINST THE PRESIDENT FOR DEMANDING AMERICA SUCK IT UP AND TAKE THESE PEOPLE INTO AMERICA.

What I find funny is all the idiots that are blaming Disney.

Guess they should hire doctors to stand at the gates and make sure no one is contagious. I mean so what if it would take hours to get in, the important thing is no one gets sick by being exposed to an infected person. /s

MMR - Measles outbreak at Disneyland. Mumps outbreak among NHL players. So just need Rubella to make a comeback.

Partly people deciding not to let their kids get the vaccine usually just based on nothing more than it is the in thing to be doing and not something they actually research themselves. I do believe some kids would be better off not getting vaccines.

But most of these kids wouldn’t be exposed if it wasn’t for the influx of 3rd world people. That and they are bringing crap that wasn’t very common here in the US.

The words “Jenny McCarthy” and “MENSA” very rarely are used together in a sentence. In fact I think that last sentence was the first time.

I had measles, mumps, and chicken pox as a child. Do I need a booster now in my old age?

I was wondering how long the vaccine lasted. 18 years? I had measles as a kid but my children were vaccinated and then had to get a booster when they went to college. How long will the booster last? And what about all the people that never got a booster because they didn’t go to college?
