This is what happens when you give credence to anti-MMR propaganda.
The Wall Street Journal reports:
A New York county has declared a state of emergency over one of the worst measles outbreaks in the state in decades, banning unvaccinated minors from public places to help curb the spread of the disease.
Rockland County Executive Ed Day said Tuesday the ban—the first of its kind in the country—will go into effect at midnight.
The extreme measure comes as the county has recorded 153 confirmed measles cases in the past six months, mostly in children under 18, according to the county’s health department. The outbreak is concentrated in the orthodox Jewish communities in Rockland County, including the towns of New Square, Spring Valley and Monsey. Some in those communities oppose vaccinations for religious reasons.
This guy has a lot to answer for.
