Diseases rare in US returning

[DesertFox]

Recent outbreaks of measles and whooping cough show how easily a rare or "eradicated" disease can flare up again, U.S. investigators said this week.

Three people in Indiana were hospitalized last year after a 17-year-old girl carried measles back from Romania. It spread to 34 people because many in her community had refused to be vaccinated, a team at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

And then there are people who would love to find a way to spread something really nasty. Bad times we live in.:(

The Chinese would call them "interesting" times.

In Orange County two children from a recently arrived illegal immigrant family started a mumps eipdemic. Although the CDC was notified it couldn't come in because of a mumps eipidemic in Riverside caused by another recently arrived illegal immigrant family.

Some of these families see that their children are sick. So they come here hoping for some quality and free care. Before the kids get to the doctor, they spread it everywhere.

Welcome to the 21st Century third world.

I will never understand people who cavalierly refuse immmunization.....yes, yes, I know there are a small percentage that have problems, but it is a hell of alot smaller than the percentage that DIE for the ailment, or did decades ago. I have never forgotten "Mrs. Mike" one of my favorite books...a true story of a Boston girl in about 1906 who married a Canadian Mounty and went way up into the Yukon with him to patrol remote villages. They had two kids. They got to watch helplessly as their children and most of the Indian village died of diptheria. These diseases are not gone, just waiting in the wings.................
