Many cases reported in the United States this year were linked to international travel, according to the C.D.C., as travel destinations such as Britain, Austria and the Philippines have had outbreaks. Many of the people in the United States who have been infected have been unvaccinated children age 12 months and older.

People who choose not to vaccinate their children are unfit parents. Unless the child is not medically able to take vaccines, it’s the same as not feeding them, or failing to meet other basic survival needs. Additionally, they’re endangering other children who have a legitimate medical reason for avoiding vaccines. The Department of Children's Services should become involved.

Oh you see they are busy giving their kids homeopathy "medicine" while cursing the austism bestowing vaccines as the work of evil science...
