The Florida measles outbreak is expanding. On Friday, health officials in Broward County confirmed a seventh case of the virus, a child under age 5.
The patient is the youngest so far to be infected in the outbreak, and the first to be identified outside of Manatee Bay Elementary School in Weston, near Fort Lauderdale.
Its unknown what connection the youngest measles case has to the school, but the spread beyond school-age kids was expected.
Cases are not going to stay contained just to that one school, not when a virus is this infectious, said Dr. David Kimberlin, co-director of the division of pediatric infectious diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that as of Friday there have been at least 35 measles cases in 15 states in 2024 most related to international travel. In January, there were nine measles cases
in Pennsylvania, eight of them in Philadelphia. (If there are no more
cases reported there as of early next week, the Philadelphia outbreak will
be declared over.) Late Friday, Michigans health department announced
that it, too, had identified a measles case its first since 2019.
Floridas outbreak is the largest in the U.S. right now. And what
Floridas health officials are doing or not doing is drawing fire from experts who study the way diseases spread.

Measles is so contagious and has such a long incubation period that the decision of the states Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo to let parents decide whether to quarantine their children or let them keep going to
school could allow cases to spread, experts warn.
Measles is the most infectious pathogen in humans that we know of, said Kimberlin. Its like a heat-seeking missile. It will find the people who are not immune, and theyre going to get sick.
Unvaccinated people have a 90% chance of becoming infected if exposed.
Epidemiology 101 is identify and isolate, said Katelyn Jetelina, who tracks illnesses for a website called Your Local Epidemiologist. This is especially true for outbreaks of measles, she said, because of how
incredibly contagious the virus is and the fact that people who are
infected can spread it for up to three weeks.
In a letter sent to parents at the elementary school on Tuesday, Ladapo wrote, Due to the high immunity rate in the community, as well as the burden on families and educational cost of healthy children missing
school, DOH is deferring to parents or guardians to make decisions about school attendance.
The letter said that parents should watch for symptoms of measles high fever, rash, red, watery eyes but did not encourage vaccination.
How Ohio got measles quickly under control
When Columbus, Ohio, Health Commissioner Dr. Mysheika Roberts was
confronted with a surging measles outbreak in 2022, parents in the state
also got a letter, with a very different message.
Eighty-five children, mostly unvaccinated toddlers, became infected with measles in central Ohio. Nearly half, 42%, had to be hospitalized.
When the Ohio outbreak began, Roberts advised that unvaccinated children
who had been exposed to measles receive one dose of the mumps-measles- rubella (MMR) vaccine as a form of post-exposure prophylaxis, she said.
The 21-day quarantine was reduced to just 72 hours for kids who got the
shot.
Infectious disease experts told Roberts it could take six months or more
to get it under control. She and her team did it in three.
By February, we were able to declare the outbreak over, Roberts said.
Roberts attributes that success to sticking with standard public health guidance: identify and isolate patients and tell the public what to do.
We were very clear with what we needed to do to try to control this outbreak, Roberts said.
Ohio's guidance included:
Encouraging the MMR vaccine, which offers 97% protection against infection.
Keeping unvaccinated kids whod been exposed to the virus out of
school, daycare and other activities for 21 days.
The letter from Columbus public health officials strongly suggested that families comply with the suggested quarantine.
We did not leave it up to the parents, Roberts said. It was not an order, but the way that we wrote the letter, people probably felt like
they didnt have a choice.
Since the 2022 outbreak, Ohio has reported only one measles case in 2023
and at least one so far in 2024.
An estimated 1 in 5 measles patients is hospitalized, according to the
CDC. And one to three out of 1,000 patients will die.
In Florida, dozens of students at the elementary school are vulnerable,
and some may have siblings too young to be fully vaccinated. Meanwhile, vaccine exemptions in Florida have been ticking up in recent years,
according to CDC data.
During a school board meeting on Wednesday, Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Peter Licata said 33 of the 1,067 Manatee Bay Elementary students are unvaccinated.
Maria Caballero, whose daughter attends Manatee Bay, told NBC News earlier this week that she is keeping the girl out of school for now. She has twin baby boys who were born prematurely and arent yet old enough for the
first dose of the MMR vaccine, which is given starting at age 1.
Even though my 10-year-old is fully vaccinated, I am just concerned she will get the virus and bring it home, said Caballero.
The Florida outbreak comes at a time when the number of national vaccine exemptions has reached an all-time high. A November CDC report found that
3% of children entering kindergarten during the 2022-2023 school year were granted a vaccine exemption from their state. This is the highest
exemption rate ever reported in the U.S.
More and more people are questioning vaccines and why people need vaccines, said Kimberlin, the University of Alabama doctor. Theyre gonna find out pretty soon.

Indeed.
And during COVID, the legal citizens of the USA had to follow masking, isolating and other draconian rules yet the migrants being let into the country had no medical checks done unless they were half dead and

No.

We know this is a lie.
Florida is now a source of measles for the rest of the country and even
the world.
Anywhere there is unvaccinated, you will find these diseases,

The Florida measles outbreak is expanding. On Friday, health
officials in Broward County confirmed a seventh case of the virus, a
child under age 5.
The patient is the youngest so far to be infected in the outbreak,
and the first to be identified outside of Manatee Bay Elementary
School in Weston, near Fort Lauderdale.
It's unknown what connection the youngest measles case has to the
school, but the spread beyond school-age kids was expected.
Cases are "not going to stay contained just to that one school, not
when a virus is this infectious," said Dr. David Kimberlin,
co-director of the division of pediatric infectious diseases at the
University of Alabama at Birmingham.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that as of
Friday there have been at least 35 measles cases in 15 states in 2024
- most related to international travel. In January, there were nine
measles cases in Pennsylvania, eight of them in Philadelphia. (If
there are no more cases reported there as of early next week, the
Philadelphia outbreak will be declared over.) Late Friday,
Michigan's health department announced that it, too, had identified
a measles case - its first since 2019.
Florida's outbreak is the largest in the U.S. right now. And what
Florida's health officials are doing - or not doing - is drawing
fire from experts who study the way diseases spread.

Measles is so contagious and has such a long incubation period that
the decision of the state's Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo to let
parents decide whether to quarantine their children or let them keep
going to school could allow cases to spread, experts warn.
"Measles is the most infectious pathogen in humans that we know
of," said Kimberlin. "It's like a heat-seeking missile. It will
find the people who are not immune, and they're going to get sick."
Unvaccinated people have a 90% chance of becoming infected if
exposed.
"Epidemiology 101 is identify and isolate," said Katelyn Jetelina,
who tracks illnesses for a website called "Your Local
Epidemiologist." This is especially true for outbreaks of measles,
she said, because of how incredibly contagious the virus is and the
fact that people who are infected can spread it for up to three
weeks.
In a letter sent to parents at the elementary school on Tuesday,
Ladapo wrote, "Due to the high immunity rate in the community, as
well as the burden on families and educational cost of healthy
children missing school, DOH is deferring to parents or guardians to
make decisions about school attendance."
The letter said that parents should watch for symptoms of measles -
high fever, rash, red, watery eyes - but did not encourage
vaccination. How Ohio got measles quickly under control
When Columbus, Ohio, Health Commissioner Dr. Mysheika Roberts was
confronted with a surging measles outbreak in 2022, parents in the
state also got a letter, with a very different message.
Eighty-five children, mostly unvaccinated toddlers, became infected
with measles in central Ohio. Nearly half, 42%, had to be
hospitalized.
When the Ohio outbreak began, Roberts advised that unvaccinated
children who had been exposed to measles receive one dose of the
mumps-measles- rubella (MMR) vaccine as a form of "post-exposure
prophylaxis," she said.
The 21-day quarantine was reduced to just 72 hours for kids who got
the shot.
Infectious disease experts told Roberts it could take six months or
more to get it under control. She and her team did it in three.
"By February, we were able to declare the outbreak over," Roberts
said.
Roberts attributes that success to sticking with standard public
health guidance: identify and isolate patients - and tell the public
what to do.
"We were very clear with what we needed to do to try to control this
outbreak," Roberts said.
Ohio's guidance included:
Encouraging the MMR vaccine, which offers 97% protection against
infection.
Keeping unvaccinated kids who'd been exposed to the virus out of
school, daycare and other activities for 21 days.
The letter from Columbus public health officials strongly suggested
that families comply with the suggested quarantine.
"We did not leave it up to the parents," Roberts said. "It was not
an order, but the way that we wrote the letter, people probably felt
like they didn't have a choice."
Since the 2022 outbreak, Ohio has reported only one measles case in
2023 and at least one so far in 2024.
An estimated 1 in 5 measles patients is hospitalized, according to
the CDC. And one to three out of 1,000 patients will die.
In Florida, dozens of students at the elementary school are
vulnerable, and some may have siblings too young to be fully
vaccinated. Meanwhile, vaccine exemptions in Florida have been
ticking up in recent years, according to CDC data.
During a school board meeting on Wednesday, Broward County Public
Schools Superintendent Peter Licata said 33 of the 1,067 Manatee Bay
Elementary students are unvaccinated.
Maria Caballero, whose daughter attends Manatee Bay, told NBC News
earlier this week that she is keeping the girl out of school for now.
She has twin baby boys who were born prematurely and aren't yet old
enough for the first dose of the MMR vaccine, which is given starting
at age 1.
"Even though my 10-year-old is fully vaccinated, I am just concerned
she will get the virus and bring it home," said Caballero.
The Florida outbreak comes at a time when the number of national
vaccine exemptions has reached an all-time high. A November CDC
report found that 3% of children entering kindergarten during the
2022-2023 school year were granted a vaccine exemption from their
state. This is the highest exemption rate ever reported in the U.S.
"More and more people are questioning vaccines and why people need
vaccines," said Kimberlin, the University of Alabama doctor.
"They're gonna find out pretty soon."
Unlike the COVID MRNA shots, these are proven vaccines and the risk is
very low. Parents really need to get their kids vaccinated.
The real question is WHERE are these diseases coming from and why all
of a sudden?
They are out there everywhere, all the time. They have not been
eradicated like smallpox.

Of course masks are zero proof -- nobody's dousing
them in bar fuel (a.k.a., alcohol).
Interestingly, there is plenty of scientific and
medical evidence that support the simple preventive
practise of wearing masks to combat disease. For
the COVID-19 coronavirus it's recommended that the
minimum standard of N95 be used (and don't douse
them in alcohol no matter what Alan Wakefield or
Jordan Peterson tell you).
They are out there everywhere, all the time. They have not been

Yea, and open borders with diseased individuals regularly crossing
would have NOTHING to do with any spread of such diseases.. right?

Yea, and who exactly has tons of N95 masks during a pandemic? Heck, even the hospitals couldn't get enough.
The public was told to use some random pieces of fabric as if putting a screen door on a submarine is going to keep the water out.
"But here’s the most eye-opening finding: “Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of influenza‐like illness/COVID‐19-like illness compared to not wearing masks.” In other words, masks didn’t do much — if anything."
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/964861/a-major-new-study-shows-that-masks-dont-stop-the-spread-of-covid-will-the-mandaters-apologize/
So, yes, if you actually have enough N95 masks to blanket the nation and continue doing so every few hours. Since N95 masks are one use only.
Yea, you can use them multiple times but their effectiveness, and thus value decreases rapidly.
Then there is the cost of them. $1-$2 under normal times but in a pandemic you might not be able to get them at all.
