Reply #3: We have an outbreak of measles here in the Twin Cities. [View All]

It's spreading in the Somali community here. A couple of times, last year and this, anti-vaxxer villain Andrew Wakefield was here in the Minneapolis area and spoke to a Somali immigrant organization. He warned them against the MMR vaccination. So, many didn't get the vaccine. A child, returning to the area from a family trip to Kenya, came back with the measles and passed it along. So far, there have been no deaths, but there have been many hospitalizations in that community, which can ill afford hospital bills.

The anti-vaxxer movement is extremely dangerous to public health.
