There is a measles outbreak in Columbus, Ohio:
To me, this is the key part of the report:
Columbus Health Commissioner Mysheika Roberts said in an interview this month the outbreak began when a small number of individuals returned from a measles-endemic area and came to the city, where the virus easily spread among unvaccinated children.
“The reason why so many of our young children have been impacted by this measles outbreak is because that’s the greatest majority of our population that’s unvaccinated,” she said.
The CAUSE of the outbreak was uncontrolled travel to a "measles-endemic area". Blame the travelers, not the unvaxxed kids.
Who were they, and where did they go? We're hardly ever told that, but why not? The State Department puts out travel advisories all the time, so why don't people read and adhere to them?
Universal vaccination is NOT the answer to carelessness or stupidity.
By the way, I would bet the largest portion of our population that's not been vaxxed for measles consists of adults who went to school before the mandatory vaccination era. But I cannot prove that.
