A West Virginia hospital has confirmed the first known case of measles in the state since 2009. The Monongalia County Health Department says WVU Medicine alerted officials Sunday that an adult patient tested positive for the viral infection.
I didn’t, but I wasn’t blaming the individual necessarily. But if we didn’t have anti-vaxxers, this person probably wouldn’t have measles right now. Cases are up in a lot of North America thanks to the efforts of anti-vaxxers.
The anti-vaxxers have won. Congratulations on a stupid prize, and thanks for sharing.
I’m not sure if you read the article, but the person in question did get partially vaccinated, just never got the booster shot.
I don’t believe that this is some sort of ideological-opposition-to-vaccinations thing.

Maybe. The article also said that while they didn’t know for sure where the person had been exposed, they had traveled abroad recently.
Now I am wondering if I got all of mine.
I hope they enjoy their consolation prize, I just feel bad for all the people who can’t get vaxxed but want to :(
