anti-vac idiocy is. My mistake. We were measles free 15 years ago. Now we aren't. Congratulations for helping to make the world suck just a little bit more. This morning there was an outbreak in a daycare center in chicago. Great. That is one of the demographics that can be devastated by measles.

All the confirmed or potential cases are infants under the age of one who are too young to have received the MMR (measles, mumps rubella) vaccine. None has parents who have opted out of the immunization, Mason said. Health officials declined to identify the communities the children are from, out of privacy concerns.

We lost herd immunity. Good job! Now those who can't get vaccinated will suffer.
