Did you even read the article? Western Europe has 25,000 per year and America has 175 this year mostly from Europeans who don't vaccinate.
- adventured 13y agoDid you? “It is not a failure of the vaccine,” Frieden said. “It’s a failure to vaccinate. Around 90 percent of the people who have had measles in this country were not vaccinated either because they refused, or were not vaccinated on time.”
- bananacurve 13y agoAre you trying to imply that 25,000 cases in Europe is less important than 175 cases in the US?
- adventured 13y agoWhat are you talking about? The reason the vast majority of those 175 cases exist is due to the lack of vaccination. That's exactly the point the article makes, and that's exactly the point I've made. Europe has had a measles problem for a while. It's hitting America now precisely due to the reduction in vaccination rates.
