Gaines county happens to be a county with a very high vaccination exemption rate. This shows that we are vulnerable and should be careful. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

What are you getting at?
LOL Not you, I meant the author. There are small measles outbreaks every year, they happen all over the US. A lot of these articles started popping up after covid, pushing vaccinations of all sorts because the word had sort of developed a negative meaning among some people. Best I can tell, most people are still getting their kids their basic vaccinations, same as they have for years. The measles shot isn't 100% foolproof, so these little outbreaks can happen anywhere.

Got ya. Seems like this outbreak may have been because of unvaccinated kids, though. Do you consider that a "basic" vaccine?

Yeah, by basic I mean the shots required for public school unless given an exemption. It looked like a fluff piece because of the wording, and the number of cases changed depending on how they word the sentence. First its " Identified 24 cases", then "all 15 of the confirmed cases were unvaccinated". We had a small outbreak locally the last couple years, it wasn't limited to unvaccinated kids.

The problem I have is these "exemptions" depending on the state can be really broad and have nothing to do with the health of the child, but rather some religious or unfounded scientific reason. Not trying to get deep into that considering the is MB, just my $0.02.
