74 people have contracted mumps at Temple University

[left-of-center2012]

Mumps is a viral infection that involves swollen glands. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine is the best protection.

City Department of Health spokesman James Garrow said Wednesday there are 15 confirmed cases and 59 probable cases, all but three of them in Philadelphia. Probable diagnoses indicate a person showing mumps-like symptoms.

Students who may be infected should limit contact with others and seek medical care.

The city says the numbers reported this year are high compared with those in past years.

It's best if they don't reproduce.

These shit-for-brains anti-vaxxers are programmed from abroad.

12. Can I use this opportunity to say how much I loathe anti vaxxers?
