There is a measles outbreak in Clark County Washington. Thirty one cases reported most are children under the age of 10. The area has low vaccination rates and is under the influence of anti-vaxxers. Measles, is a very dangerous disease, which can lead to blindness, deafness, mental retardation, and even death. Vaccination rates have been dropping due to the misinformation spread by anti-vaxxers, generally crackpot naturists, conspiracy nutters, and dumb ass celebrities. The BBC reports that measles are also spreading in Europe: 41,000 cases in the first six months of 2018.
It is necessary that all of us start thinking with our heads, and stop listening to the pseudo-science on tv and the internet. Stupidity isn't harmless: stupid people can do a great deal of harm when they set their minds to it.
