re: #94 Higgs Boson’s Mate

Much as I am annoyed by the anti-vaxxers it helps to bear in mind that Disneyland is a magnet for tourists from other countries. At least one of those other countries, the Republic of the Philippines, is the site of a continuing large scale measles outbreak. The US State Department processes 200,000 non-immigrant visas a year for Philippine citizens wishing to visit the US.

I’m not ready to foist blame on those coming into the country. Vaccinated people are generally protected—these people weren’t, and they contracted measles.

KEARNY, AZ - Pinal County Health officials say four members of a Florence family have tested positive for measles.

“In a press release issued Friday, officials said the family had recently traveled to Disneyland and are believed to be linked to the measles outbreak associated with the park.

“Officials say all four family members, who live in the Kearny area, were unvaccinated.”
