Over 250 people quarantined in South Carolina as measles outbreak rages
16 cases are linked to a church, which followed exposures at four schools last week.
People will die from a preventable disease because of abject stupidity
If their ignorance only harmed themselves, then I'd celebrate it, but unfortunately there are vulnerable, innocent people who will also suffer
Worst drivers in the entire country and some of the worst roads plus Lindsay Graham. Now measles at church, too? God hates South Carolinians.
Quarantined. Sure.
Having been to the South during covid their “quarantine” was pretty much business as usual. They tucked their masks in their pockets. I’m sure it’s similar for those around the infectious ones.
When conservatives felt impervious to infection, they were very cavalier. But those masks came out like lightning the moment someone started coughing.
I seriously doubt anyone showing full blown measles symptoms is welcome in school or at the office. The xenophobes in the GOP probably don't want them anywhere near hospitals or churches either.
Now, prisons? That's a great place to put sick people.
Remember when we didn’t have to worry about this?…. It’s like there is a preventable medication or something.
Of the 111 outbreak cases, 105 were unvaccinated, three were partially vaccinated, two had an unknown status, and one case was fully vaccinated.
I would not be surprised if the only vaccinated person caught it at the hospital while on immunosuppressant for some surgery or something.
If only unvaccinated kids die from this, they will remove access to the vaccines. Their wet dream of natural herd immunity only works without vaccines.
This is terrible. If only those poor people had access to some kind of vaccine! /s
Hopefully one day we find a way to eradicate diseases and conditions like these.

Ew, wtf is that on his gums?
Nicotine pouch maybe?
What if quarantine causes autism?
I grew up in Spartanburg, SC and find this unsurprising.
You get what you pick. Carolinas, other than Ashville, are daft af.
I caught measles as a kid. I wasn't vaccinated. I don't know if my mother was antvax then, but she's definitely a crazy level, anti Vax (and many other conspiracy follower) theorist, now.
I thought I was going to die. Some 40 years later I remember it like it was yesterday, it was a horrific thing to do to a child, especially when meditation to ease it was available. I doubt I'll ever forgive my mother for that level of evil. She didn't care, either.
I feel bad for the people infected that didn’t act like dumb assess about vaccines.
GERD IZ PURNISHIN OWWWAR SCYYYANCE BERKS!!
oops!
