Thank you anti-vac’rs

Posted December 22, 2006 at 8:39 pm by Jessica

Adding more fuel to my immunization argument, I would like to continue to thank the anti-vac’rs for spreading misery through ignorance:

All Headline News reports the outcome from a CDC investigation regarding 66 people that contracted the measles in the United States last year, some were from Indiana and the findings show the following:

The hospital records show that 33 people from Indiana and one from Illinois became infected. Three people were hospitalized, but no one died.

Only two of the 34 had been vaccinated against measles.

According to the CDC report, “The outbreak occurred because measles was imported into a population of children whose parents had chosen not to vaccinate their children because of safety concerns, despite evidence that measles-containing vaccine is safe and effective.”
