The city of Philadelphia is blaming the recent measles outbreak on people declining to get vaccinated and failing to follow quarantine recommendations, after its Department of Public Health confirmed at least four cases.
The city’s Department of Public Health has confirmed at least four cases and is investigating two other possible infections.
“Unfortunately, we are seeing cases of measles that have spread to vulnerable individuals including young children due to people declining vaccination and also failing to adhere to quarantine recommendations,” Cheryl Bettigole, Philadelphia’s health commissioner, wrote in a Thursday press release. “Philadelphia is a city where we believe in a duty to take care of each other.”
You’re completely ignoring Andrew Wakefield, who started the entire false “vaccines cause autism” scare, and the politicization of both vaccines and science by (mostly) red-hatted idiots who get their “science” news from people and corporations who get money/power by deliberately lying to their viewers.
