I think vaccine hesitancy is very community based, unfortunately some groups have had very bad experiences to oversimplify it (thinking about the Tuskegee experiments for example and how that’s negatively impacted trust in healthcare within some black communities).
Well that stable genius has a de facto Nobel peace prize, so he can finally set his sights on medical cures and maybe a Nobel in chemistry or biology next.
The anti-vaxxers cannot put Covid behind them and they want to spread the conspiracy theory to every single vaccine known to man. Pure stupidity is all I can say.
When you have that many people in a small area vaccine failures come to light. If there are cases in the area. The vaccine was good enough to essentially eliminate the disease, but that was when everybody was taking it.Anyone personally affected?
The South Carolina measles outbreak has spread to Clemson University.
The state's Department of Public Health informed Clemson staff of a "confirmed case of measles" in an individual associated with the university, according to an update from the school published Saturday.
"The individual has isolated, per DPH requirements, and DPH is conducting contact tracing with individuals who may have been exposed and outlining isolation and quarantine protocols," the school stated.
MEASLES CASES CONFIRMED AT FOUR MAJOR US AIRPORTS ACROSS COUNTRY AMID PEAK HOLIDAY TRAVEL
Individuals thought to be exposed to the virus will be contacted via email about quarantining.
Officials are reporting 558 cases of measles centered around Spartanburg County in the current outbreak.

Some cases are travel-related exposures or close contacts with known cases, according to the DPH.
Other cases have no identified source, suggesting that measles is circulating in the community and could spread further.
LARGEST MEASLES OUTBREAK IN US IS OFFICIALLY OVER, HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY
"Over the last seven to nine days, we've had upwards of over 200 new cases. That's doubled just in the last week," said Dr. Johnathon Elkes, an emergency medicine physician at Prisma Health in Greenville, South Carolina, during a media briefing Friday.
"We feel like we're really kind of staring over the edge, knowing that this is about to get a lot worse."

Measles is highly contagious, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If one person has it, up to nine out of 10 people will become infected if not protected.
A person infected with measles is contagious for four days before and after a rash begins. Isolation of an actively infectious case lasts until four full days have passed after the onset of the rash.

Dates of isolation are determined by DPH, according to the university press release.
Quarantine for measles is reserved for exposed individuals without documented immunity, and lasts for 21 days after the last exposure, per DPH guidelines.
If people without documented immunity receive a dose of the MMR vaccine within 72 hours after the last exposure, they do not have to quarantine, officials say. (iStock)

The university also claims to have previously provided guidance to students, faculty and staff regarding measles preparedness.

They have not been immunizing their children. Their Ukrainian only school had a 17% vaccination rate. And the public schools where they go were in the 80s at best that’s a recipe for disaster. Probably most of the parents were vaccinated in Ukraine.
Well, they’re not vaccinating their children even when they are vaccinated themselves. And that’s how it got started. In Texas it was a Mennonite community.
Pretty sure the parents came from Eastern Europe and they were vaccinated for the most part because they had to be. But for some reason, their children have only been vaccinated at about a 17% rate lately. Using fake religious exemptions since there is no such thing as a religious exemption based on the fact that no religion prohibits vaccination.
Again that was your mother. If she was in todays healthcare environment, I’d argue that might not have happened
Jehovah’s Witness prohibit vaccines and blood transfusions
I think we need to stop labeling everyone that doesn’t vaccinate as being impacted by COVID or afraid of autism. Some people, like myself, choose not to vaccinate for much different reasons
Hope you listen to a surgeon when you are shot, stabbed, or perforate an ulcer.
I had red measles at age 3, German measles at age 8, and mumps at age 10. When I was recalled to active duty in 2003, the Navy gave me an MMR because they did not have time to do titers. Even older people like me who had had all the disease diseases had to get the vaccine. I had no symptoms from that shot but I’m probably among the most protected of everybody.
I know about the blood transfusion experience. Had to watch one or two of my patients die because of it when they needed surgery and transfusions both. I also saw some give in and take the transfusions and ask us not to tell anybody.
You know, it could be a combination of illegals bringing in measles and then unvaccinated kids acting as a vector.
Let’s hear those reasons.
You can always start a 5th account to talk about your grievances.
By that logic it’s more likely citizens coming back from vacations in certain regions that are causing in increase in exposure imo
I certainly agree with you. There was an anti-vaccine movement before Covid with several well-known proponents.
Just some. Mostly adults on message boards.

No I’m good, apparently you can keep up with me
This is correct. Both side can be stupid on this.
Not you, but many babies will. Must be nice to be so flippant about it. I'll bet you call yourself a Christian.
Why should we put it behind us? I am not an anti-vaxxer, but I am furious and what Covid did to this country. A bunch of mindless zombies threw common sense out the window and there are lasting consequences. I want Fauci to stand trial for this. Maybe he will or maybe Biden’s pardon will protect him. Why was he pardoned again?
You realize these outbreaks almost always originate in immigrant communities right? Stuff like this is going to happen when you let 20 million unvetted foreigners across the border over a four year span.
Damn you liberals cannot pass up an opportunity to spread your poison. You’re a liar. No one is stopping anyone from getting vaccinated.
You can always immediately tell whos completely propagandized by their echo chamber like this dude- it's verbatim what the 4-5 other guys in his same echo chamber said throughout this thread. Literally the same words and phrases
Clemson said 98% is vaccinated. Most the measles outbreaks are immigrants also. Ohio’s big outbreak a while ago was Somalians. Spartanburg was Ukrainian.
Everything is a conspiracy when you’re uneducated and/or misinformed.
There’s a responsibility for individuals who want to be part of a society.
