Anti-vaccination campaigners blamed for Brunswick measles outbreak

The number of measles cases in Melbourne's north has climbed to 14 after the Health Department was notified of another five patients. The department said the outbreak was in the Brunswick area and included two children who were pupils at Princess Hill Primary School. A number of students at the primary school have been told to stay home for at least the next week because they are not fully immunised. Victoria's acting Chief Health Officer, Dr Roscoe Taylor, said some teachers may also need to stay home. "We appreciate that this situation will be disruptive for the school community but we must not put at risk those children who are not fully immunised," he said. "Some teachers and support staff may also need to stay at home if they can't demonstrate their immunity." Measles is a highly infectious disease with an incubation period of 18 days.

You can't shake the true believers. They'll ignore dozens of studies involving thousands of patients over decades in favor of a single blog.
 
Considering all the initial individuals were in their 20's and 30's and one 40 year old how can anyone blame anti vaxxers? Right from your link.

"The initial four cases — a man and two women in their 20s and a woman in her 40s — all live in Brunswick or East Brunswick.

Of the recent five additional cases — three women and two men, all in their 20s and 30s — three of those live in Brunswick, one is from Preston and one is from Brunswick West.".

But Victoria's acting chief health officer Dr Roscoe Taylor said there was no evidence that anti-vaccination campaigners were to blame for the Brunswick outbreak.

"There's no real evidence. What we see in the particular Brunswick area is that the childhood vaccination coverage rates aren't that different from the state average, or indeed the Australian average," Dr Taylor said.

Yepppp....more BS scare tactics and lies. Google Vaccine Injury Court. :) Proud unvaccinated man and father to 4 unvaccinated children. Vaccines CAUSE problems they don't SOLVE problems. A natural immune system is the right way to go.The stronger the immune system the easier it is to stay healthy.

But you can't discount the fact that the incidents of previously deadly diseases dropped precipitously when vaccines were introduced. Smallpox is nearly unheard of any more, and whereas measles and mumps used to kill many, hardly anyone ever gets them either.

Darwin awards all around, but they will kill some innocents as well. BTW, if your kid doesn't have their shots, they aren't innocents.

That's right! If your immune system worked against polio and smallpox........moron.

Some people survived smallpox. That's not a good reason to condemn the many that did not. A lot of children survived measles and the mumps. That's not a good reason to condemn the many that did not.

I'm condemning the moron, Odium, who thinks vaccines are a bad idea.

Correct. I was agreeing with you. Sorry if I was unclear.
