    People will die from a preventable disease because of abject stupidity

    If their ignorance only harmed themselves, then I’d celebrate it, but unfortunately there are vulnerable, innocent people who will also suffer

        And it is called Rubella after the latin “Little Red” after the rash associated with the disease.

      Having been to the South during covid their “quarantine” was pretty much business as usual. They tucked their masks in their pockets. I’m sure it’s similar for those around the infectious ones.

        When conservatives felt impervious to infection, they were very cavalier. But those masks came out like lightning the moment someone started coughing.

        I seriously doubt anyone showing full blown measles symptoms is welcome in school or at the office. The xenophobes in the GOP probably don’t want them anywhere near hospitals or churches either.

        Now, prisons? That’s a great place to put sick people.

          An anti vax mom i used to work for told me once she wouldn’t mind if her kids got measles just so everyone would realize it’s not such a big deal. Maybe she won’t feel so cavalier now that her kids aren’t as protected by herd immunity, or maybe she’ll continue just being dumb as rocks.

            Yeah. I had a coworker who doggedly insisted COVID wasn’t any worse than the flu. Spouted all the classic right-wing talking points. Complained that the economy was suffering because of Woke. Yadda-yadda.

            That was right up until Houston got hit with a big outbreak, at which point he demanded he be allowed to work from home because of his compromised immune system.

            After the release of the vaccine and return to the office, he was right back on the “COVID isn’t a big deal” hobby horse.

          The masks came out like lightning as soon as they signed up to work for ICE.

    Of the 111 outbreak cases, 105 were unvaccinated, three were partially vaccinated, two had an unknown status, and one case was fully vaccinated.

      If only unvaccinated kids die from this, they will remove access to the vaccines. Their wet dream of natural herd immunity only works without vaccines.

      I would not be surprised if the only vaccinated person caught it at the hospital while on immunosuppressant for some surgery or something.
