Measles cases are skyrocketing in Europe and storming back in the US — Quartz
It is impossible for one person to keep up on the sheer amount of Measles cases occurring around the world! A person could spend all of their time just talking about measles and nothing else.
Yes, in many cases, measles is just something you get over, but there are people dying, permanently injured or suffering from birth defects because of measles.
While it may be just my opinion, I think that the Anti-Vaccine people are going to suffer this year and, unfortunately, a lot of others will suffer because of their unscientific, irrational belief system – fueled in part by their unscrupulous passing on of pseudoscience and outright greed.
Below are links to articles about measle that have occurred just over the past several days.

Anti-vaccers thrilled as measles epidemic continues to spread across Europe
Obviously Sarcasm (I Hope!)
I have had most of the vaccinations given to kids in the 50’s & 60’s. I had all of the vaccinations required by the military in the 70’s through 90’s. I get the yearly flu shot, the pneumonia shots, the Shingles vaccinations, the swine flu shot of the 70’s or 80’s and so on. I’m still here and still functioning.
My mother, while pregnant with my youngest sister, had the “German Measles” and my sister’s inner ears never developed and she has been disabled all of her life. My son developed meningitis at age 4, but recovered.
Yes, I am an advocate for vaccinations and I make NOTHING from anybody for being pro-vaccination.
Right now there is an outbreak of measles throughout most the world – mostly in unvaccinated people. Here in the United States there are 21 States with active measles cases. The CDC has not called it an epidemic yet, but they will.
People (some) DO DIE from the measles. My measles vaccinations are decades old, so I stand a chance of getting measles.
The Anti-vaccine shrills are making the money they claim “Big Pharma” is getting.
Edgar Allen Poe’s “Masque of the Red Death” is still appropriate today.
