67 confirmed cases of measles in California-centered outbreak

[Zippyjuan]

Outbreaks of measles in this country come from one hugely dominant source- unvaccinated people leaving the US, visiting countries with low vaccination rates, getting infected, and bringing it home. It isn't from "dirty illegal aliens" running all over the place.

Now she's in a 28-day quarantine, because of a family that refused to vaccinate their child.

No, she was in quarantine because the doctor's office failed to post a forewarning to their incoming patients. Also if the infected patient was there from two-days prior, it is doubtful the infant would have been infected, because measles is required to be passed either from person to person or by droplet. Infection has a short 8-day window (pre and post rashing) and measles incubates from between 7-21 days.

Measles can "hang" in the air up to two hours after an infected person has passed by. That is why it is so highly contageous.

1. Measles has a lifespan of about two-hours, be it surface or airborne.
2. Measles is not fatal.
3. Two-hours is not anywhere close to 48-hours.

Actually she was there the same day. Two days later is when she was notified.

2. Measles is not fatal.

Maybe. They are not good for people who are going through chemo or who have chronic conditions.

And they are definitely not good for a pre-born baby.

Immunity does not last forever. I had both measles and rubella when I was an infant. My prenatal bloodwork showed no immunity to rubella. Fancy that.

People need to start having larger families again. Then they wouldn't be so paranoid about losing one or two.

that's proof vaccines are useless and therefore should never been mandated.
