    >> The six deaths in Pennsylvania included a newborn with congenital measles, whose mother was severely ill at the time of birth; a 6-week-old who was too young to be vaccinated; a “perfectly healthy” 18-year-old; a 20-year-old with leukemia; a 40-year-old with underlying conditions; and a 39-year-old with underlying conditions. All the deceased were unvaccinated.

    So it wasn't actually measles except for one case?

    This is the same low IQ level "with covid vs of-covid" reporting that journos paid by pharma like to do.

    I don't understand how anyone can be anti-vax when it comes to measles.

      People forget. They think that if something hasn't been a problem or hasn't happened in decades then it either no longer could be a problem (ignoring the "why" behind the current situation) or maybe it was never really a problem.

      It's not logical, but it happens repeatedly. We see it at both the macro and micro scales. People forget the importance of vaccines for particular diseases because the disease is effectively eliminated from society (not gone, just not visible or as visible, like measles here). You see it with businesses or business processes, like maintenance activities. Proper maintenance means a chemical plant doesn't explode, but because it doesn't explode the proper maintenance seems like a waste of time, so the company cuts it and we have various disasters as a consequence. Also happens with aircraft (maintenance, training, proper FAA oversight, etc.).

      If it didn't happen to you, then it doesn't exist.
