Summary: This year, the CDC has reported that the number of measles outbreaks has been the highest since it was eradicated in 2000. They said that these outbreaks happened in 22 states affecting at least 695 people. Most recently, NYC responded to the outbreak from banning unvaccinated children from public places after their small outbreak. In NYC, the outbreak was mostly in the Orthodox Jewish community and some people are worried that the city will target them. Measles is an easily spreading disease that spreads through air that causes fevers and rashes. It is easily prevented by vaccines. To help gain support for vaccinations, the CDC is planning on launching a full campaign.
Analysis: Personally, I find it really stupid that condone wouldn’t vaccinate their kid. Before vaccines, there were versions horrible diseases that killed people but now we are privileged to have them and use them to help us live longer. There is a very very very very slim chance that the vaccine will have any harmful side effects too. You have a bigger risk of getting hurt by stepping into a car than you do getting vaccinated. I can relate this to u.s history through how the native Americans contracted diseases from Europeans because they hadn’t been introduced to them yet.
