- Sparkle-san 4y agoI focused on the bad year for that specific reason, because it was BAD. WA and OR have some cases throughout the years, but they don't produce large outbreaks because the overall populations are still vaccinated enough for herd immunity to act as a barrier. Orthodox communities on the other hand don't have that advantage, and when there's an outbreak there, it creates outliers and outliers are what we're trying to avoid when it comes to pathogens.
- hunterb123 4y agoYou seem very matter of fact for a one year outlier that you tried to pass off as a trend. What about the years where an Oregon community surpassed the Orthodox Jew community in question? Seems like you just want to selectively take an unfortunate outlier from 3 years ago and persecute a community for it even though it's not the norm.
