BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A health warning. The extremely contagious measles virus is back. An outbreak that started at Disneyland is starting to sweep the country.
Christie Ileto has the push for children to get vaccinated.
Measles was thought to have been eliminated in the U.S. 15 years ago. Now its back, targeting those who haven’t been immunized.
The outbreak that started in California’s Disneyland is expanding. At least 75 cases of measles span six states.
“It’s scary to think the happiest place on Earth is infected with measles,” one Disney employee said.
For this Disney employee, knowing co-workers are infected is cause for concern.
Measles has a 21-day incubation period, meaning people can travel far before they know they’re sick.
“We’re seeing the resurgence of measles because a lot of the parents are not getting their children vaccinated,” said Dr. Peter Andrews, Sinai Hospital.
Dr. Andrews says that problem is prime. In Maryland, all students K-12 must get two shots of the measles vaccine.
“It just didn’t make sense to me,” said one Annapolis mom.
In a revealing interview with WJZ, an Annapolis mom explained why she didn’t vaccinate her kids.
“I didn’t understand why a little human had to get so many drugs at one time,” she said.
Still, the vaccine proves very effective if given at two doses.
Doctors say the virus is highly contagious. For instance, if someone has the measles and doesn’t cover their mouth when they sneeze, they can pass it on to anyone standing nearby.
Symptoms like fever, cough and rash soon follow.
“The younger, the older, the immune compromised. Those are the three target areas that really can get sick and die,” said Dr. Andrews.
Most people who have already had the measles or got the vaccine are not at risk.
Guatemalans the lowest with 85% and both Equator and Nicaragua have vaccination rates far greater than the United States.
Sorry, but you’re still refusing to address the main point of my argument. I find it interesting in the disease maps I’ve been able to find that Mexico is “clean”...yet, the USA and other industrialized nations show reports of diseases...curious, no?
Yet you persist in clinging to these statistics that because Mexico or any other Central American country is ~89% immunized, they can’t possibly be the source of this outbreak...
Who is “patient zero”? That is my original point...that NONE dare to look at the elephant in the room...
You refuse to look for the source and carriers...why is it that with a surge in illegal immigration and 100s of thousands, if not millions of illegal aliens now residing in the USA, we suddenly find ourselves faced with a resurgence of diseases that were, for all practical purposes, eradicated in the USA?
This is Cloward-Piven...overwhelm the system(s).
And all you are doing is repeating “vaccinate, vaccinate”.
Amen!
“This is Cloward-Piven...overwhelm the system(s).
And all you are doing is repeating “vaccinate, vaccinate””
All are not Blind, Some can see and for some it is too late...
Secure the Boarders STEP One!
How many have sold their Soul and Failed their Duty to protect the Nation from Enemy’s foreign and domestic!
In this case / discussion the enemy is a disease and diseases that are and did come across the boarder and assisted by criminals in government who disseminated them throughout the states vice doing their jobs!
+1
“The Measles Vaccination Rate in The United States is 91%
The Measles Vaccination Rate in Mexico is 89%
Now, pease explain the mathematics behind illegal aliens being responsible for this Measles outbreak.
“
Maybe because we get that lower 10% in here? I mean, we already have over 10% of Mexico’s population here illegally.
Moreover, I can pay out of my pocket to vaccinate my kids, but would have to depend in the federal government to seal the border.
Disneyland is not cheap as it is not even affordable at $100 a head for middle class Americans.
The bottom 10% of the people in Mexico cannot afford Disneyland.
Sheesh, you’re either obtuse or engaging in deliberate misinformation...
I’ve already told you once...
They get FREE tickets from charities and the like because they’re supposedly “indigent”.
Don’t forget, Boys and Girls, about all the special event days/weekends at the park.
I won’t let my wife down about our bringing our young kids to the park and finding all the couples in the park wearing red shirts. It was the homosexual weekend.
There are plenty of groups that could be carrying all kinds if diseases to the park, not just measles. What about the Muslim day? gay day? Etc?
Could have been any number of people that frequent this park, or something even more nefarious, God forbid.
“Secure the Boarders STEP One!”
The federal government under administrations from Nixon to Obama has failed in its effort to secure border and I have not hope that any administration in the future will secure the border.
However, I have 100% confidence that I can drive my kid to her doctors’s office and have her vaccinated against Measles.
“They get FREE tickets from charities and the like because they’re supposedly “indigent.”
Could you please name the charity and provide a link to the charity that provides free Disneyland tickets to illegal aliens?
“The bottom 10% of the people in Mexico cannot afford Disneyland.”
Ever been there? It’s not just rich white people.
Apparently you live in a world where the only people permitted in Disneyland are those who paid $100.
There couldn’t possibly be charitable causes getting tickets to offer up...

Good!
“However, I have 100% confidence that I can drive my kid to her doctors’s office and have her vaccinated against Measles.”
Now that you have done this you should be secure in the knowledge you and your family are immune to this and other disease and the Freedom of Choice for others is left in tack.
But remember that does NOTHING to Address the Root Problem of the government to do its Primary Duty! to Secure the boarder! So you have more to be concerned about because diseases are NOT the only thing flooding across the boarders... They are only one tool being used to Destroy the US.
That page said nothing about illegal aliens getting free tickets to Disneyland.
“But remember that does NOTHING to Address the Root Problem of the government to do its Primary Duty! to Secure the boarder!”
Unfortunately, no administration has tried or even had the will or intention of securing the border and I expect that to be true with future administrations.
Eliminated?
Then how can anyone possibly come down with it ever again?
Perhaps you can explain your paranoia of contracting it, and demanding to vaccinate everyone against their will, in a nation you state has “eliminated” it?
And explain how the polio vaccine gave millions of adults in the 50s and 60s the SV-40 virus, among admitted others, by Merck, which is responsible for many types of cancer in people. Merck knew it was in there and didn’t filter it out. One of the damn scientists who worked on it said so in an interview.
Explain that, professor.
OFFS!
I’m not going to run down your rabbit holes...figure it out for yourself or go ask someone for a damned instruction manual.
If all you people are vaccinated what’s your worry? This is the bullcrap of vaccines.
You sit there and say the vaccine gives immunity (yes they say immunity) and that it protects you, yet somehow the only way it works is if everyone has it. Why can’t it protect you against infected people? That’s supposed to be the point. In case you do cross paths with someone that has something you have an immunization for.
Your herd immunity is sheeple mentality.
I live in my body, you don’t. I have a right to determine personal risk. I don’t have to risk my life for you to feel safer. Just as I don’t have to give up my self-defense rights just so some gun-hating idiot can feel safer b/c I’m disarmed.
Otherwise, I can use the same logic and call the cops to disarm your stupid ass, because I view you as a threat to me and I will feel safer without you being armed.
You just show you cannot tolerate someone else making a choice not to do something you have decided is okay for you, and you are just fine with them being forced to do it because it makes you feel safer. So much for freedom of conscience. So much for determining self-risk.
You think not getting vaccinated is selfish? How about you being selfish for demanding (and your whole answer is you beign pissed they aren’t forced to do so) people get vaccinated to appease your belief on the subject. Personal decision be damned. You see what kind of slippery slope this opens up? Of course you don’t.
Oh, so you’re aware of large measles and polio outbreaks in the U. S. that nobody else knows about. Please explain when and where.
