Utah has emerged as a major center of measles infections in the US, as an outbreak that has been building for some time continues to expand.
State officials reported a total of 602 measles cases on Wednesday tied to an outbreak that started last year and is still ongoing, including 19 newly identified infections, according to the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (Cidrap). Recent exposures have been reported at several preschools and elementary schools.
About one-third of those infected have experienced symptoms severe enough to require visits to emergency rooms, reported the New York Times, largely due to intense dehydration from vomiting and diarrhea.
Out of the 602 total cases, 405 have occurred since the beginning of this year, with 75 reported in just the last three weeks. So far, 49 individuals have needed hospitalization. A significant majority of those infected – 513 people, or 85% – were not vaccinated against measles.
First, so sorry to anyone who legitimately can’t be vaccinated. This isn’t fair. Second, to everyone else, good luck with your fucking measles I hope you fucking die. Third, sorry kids, this isn’t your fault but you’re gonna pay for this.
No one cares about diseases until they start killing children. Maybe if measles kills enough children these brainless shit stains will start to figure it out. Hopes are not high. They’ll blame the devil or libs or magic or immigrants or anything else first.
America does not REALLY give a shit about kids. We force women to have babies and then abandon them. We allow any fucking nut case to have a gun and I say this as a gun owner. The a few of those nut cases go shoot up a school. We do nothing about it all because of FREEDOMMM!!! We let antivaxxers sprout all their stupid shit and do nothing to really counter it. America do not give a single fucking shit about any child anywhere in the world let alone the ones at home.
We already have interviews of parents whose kids had died of measles basically shrug their shoulders and say “yeah it sucks but we’d do it again because it’s better this way.” They have completely lost touch with reality at that point and are basically committing negligent homicide.
An minimum refusing to vaccinate your kid should constitute child abuse. That’s the problem with the pro-choice crowd, they’re not pro-choice, they’re pro stupidity.
