Directly from the CDC for 2018 outbreaks. >The U.S. experienced 17 outbreaks in 2018. Three outbreaks in New York State, New York City, and New Jersey, respectively, contributed to most of the cases. Cases in those states occurred primarily among unvaccinated people in Orthodox Jewish communities. These outbreaks were associated with travelers who brought measles back from Israel, where a large outbreak is occurring. Eighty-two people brought measles to the U.S. from other countries in 2018.

And? Vaccination rates among Orthodox Jews is the same as the general population, only the close contact part is different.

  It is no where near the same. 60% according to this article which was the top post in DDG search. Compared to 92.5% to general population. Stop spreading lies. >In upstate New York, the outbreak has spread through insular communities in Rockland and Orange counties, where vaccination rates in some schools and day care centers is at 60%, according to New York state health commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker. The state’s overall vaccination rate is 92.5%, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    Nice cherry picking, how's this for a quote then: "However, the New York State Health Department reports the average vaccination rate for measles among the nearly 200 Jewish K-12 schools in Brooklyn — mainly in Borough Park and Williamsburg — is 96%" To get 60% in a couple schools the rates at the rest of the schools must be pretty near 100%.
