Measles in the news

It is not going away anytime soon. This could have been prevented if people realized that the supposed link between the MMR vaccination and autism was promoted by someone with financial reasons to do so. Andy Wakefield did this specious "paper" and was drummed out of the medical profession (his right to practice medicine was stripped) and was funded by an insurance company which stood to profit.

Here are three clickable headlines:

• • Israeli flight attendant in coma after getting measles
  • Rockland County Officials Announce Next Steps In Fight Against Measles
  • Measles Outbreak Upends Passover Traditions

Not vaccinating your kid is child abuse.
